The bike lanes will be given a barrier in the form of stick cones, while the shared bike lanes will be fitted with road studs.

“After painting the road markings, signs and barriers will be installed soon. The lanes that have been completed can be used directly by cyclists. In overall, the bike lane construction will be completed by the end of this year," he expressed, Tuesday (9/13).

He explained the total existing bike lanes in Jakarta are currently 114.5 kilometers. With this expansion, the length of bike lanes in Jakarta will be approximately 300 kilometers.

The bike lane development is a Regional Strategic Activity (KSD) Number 36 related to the Development of Bicycle Infrastructure and Facilities.

Aside that, the Cycling Friendly Jakarta program is a campaign from the Jakarta Provincial Government in a bid to improve the quality of supporting facilities and infrastructure for eco-friendly vehicles by building integrated bike lanes in Jakarta.

"The change in the transportation paradigm in Jakarta is realized through a priority policy for handling transportation that places eco-friendly vehicles such as bicycles as the second priority after pedestrians," he stated.
