Jakarta Provincial Government will expand motorcycle ban until Jalan Sudirman (Ratu Plaza). At this time, it is still under review and preparation process.

We're waiting for bus from PT Transjakarta to review alternative lanes that can be bypassed by motorcycle on Jalan Sudirman. Its traffic light should also be reviewed first for the expansion of the policy

Head of Traffic Engineering Management for Jakarta Transportation Department, Masdes Arrofi expressed in the end of 2015, the motorcycle ban will be expanded until Jalan Sudirman from previous ban from Jalan MH Thamrin and Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat.

“We're waiting for bus from PT Transjakarta to review alternative lanes that can be bypassed by motorcycle on Jalan Sudirman. Its traffic light should also be reviewed first for the expansion of the policy,” uttered Arrofi, Monday (4/6).

Based on the evaluation of three months from the ban is quite effective with a percentage increase in vehicle growth, which is 20-25 percent. As a matter of fact, the free bus is not yet enthused and motorcyclist prefers to use alternative way. Consequently, the vehicle volume increased about 20 percent.

Based on the evaluation results, such ban that is imposed since December 2014 is shortened. Previously, it was imposed for 24 hours on Jalan Sudirman and Thamrin, but now the motorcyclist can pass it at 11 PM-5 AM.

It was revised by Jakarta Governor, Basuki 'Ahok' T Purnama on March 18, 2015. According to Gubernatorial Regulation No. 141/2015 should be issued to replace the previous regulation No. 195/2014 on motorcycle ban along protocol road.

There are at least 20 traffic lights that should be installed. "It is predicted to finish two days ahead," he uttered.
