Sidewalk Repair in South Jakarta Has Been 25 Percent Done"Sidewalk wide is compliance with road availability. Such as in Jatibaru starting from Slipi Flyover, there are two tracks until Jl Kebon Sirih and the rest are built with sidewalk," he explained.
He continued the vehicle track reduction will trigger the emergence of traffic jam on the sidewalk at Cipto Mangun Kusumo Hospital (RSCM). However, the vehicle will be more orderly, because the number of vehicles entering and exiting is still the same.
"Indeed, it will lead to long queue, but parallel and more orderly," he closed.
