Bekasi is a metropolitan city that has a high growth in the number of motorized vehicles. Ahmad Yani road and Juanda road are two primary arterial roads in the city of Bekasi which are passed by the most number of motorized vehicles. Ahmad Yani road is an office area filled with tall buildings and Juanda road is one of the biggest roads with open spaces. Therefore a study of the differences in the distribution of CO pollutants was carried out on both road. Data processing was carried out using the CALINE4 air dispersion model to see the difference in output from the distribution of pollutants on closed roads and open roads and what meteorological parameters affected them. Determination of more influential meteorological factors is done by calculating the correlation between the parameters. Temperature is the main factor that affects the concentration of CO pollutants on closed roads. The simulation results of the CALINE4 model show the amount of CO concentration on Jl. Ahmad Yani (closed) is greater than Jl. Juanda (open) with an average CO concentration of 6.24 ppm on Jl. Ahmad Yani and 3.07 ppm on Jl. Juanda.
