The South Jakarta Transportation Sub-agency continues to optimize efforts to parse traffic jams on Jalan Pakubuwono VI, Gunung Urban Village, Kebayoran Baru Sub-district.

Hopefully, no more traffic jams at the location

After applying traffic diversion, the Jalan Pakubuwono VI is equipped with a Traffic Signaling Device (APILL) or traffic light at the intersection.

South Jakarta Transportation Sub-agency's Traffic Section Head, Prisno Jogiara said the APPIL installation was a request from the residents of Gunung Urban Village. Hopefully, it could parse traffic jams and minimize traffic accidents caused by intersecting traffic flows on both roads.

"After evaluation, traffic diversion with MCB placement is still less effective. Hence, we installed 24-hour APILL with the target of motorists being more orderly," he explained, Thursday (2/15).

He added its installation was also aimed at anticipating obstacles and reducing vehicle queues due to intersections at the intersection between Jalan Pakubuwono IV and Jalan Lauser.

"By doing so, vehicles can adjust according to the traffic light instructions," he explained.

By installing five APILLs, road users were expected to drive more safely, comfortably, and regularly.

"We continue to monitor and evaluate it, to get the right formulation to parse traffic jams in the Jalan Pakubuwono VI area," he explained.

Kebayoran Baru Sub-district Vice Head, Sulisto explained that the installation of traffic lights was expected to provide more comfort for motorists and pedestrians who want to cross.

"Hopefully, no more traffic jams at the location. I urge the public to obey existing signs and rules," he hoped.

Ridwan (30), a resident of Gunung Urban Village, appreciated the government's steps in taking concrete steps to parse traffic jams in the Jalan Pakubuwono VI area.

"Thanks for responding to residents' aspirations. Let's obey the traffic regulations that have been implemented and hopefully, there will be no more significant traffic jams," he stated.
