One-Way System to Be Applied on Jl Suryopranoto This Year

Jakarta Bina Marga Department plans to remove roadblock on slow and fast lanes, Jl Suryopranoto, Gambir, Central Jakarta. Later on, this road as long as 4 km will be equipped with bicycle and pedestrian tracks. Even, one-way system also slated to be applied to create a convenience for road user.

Head of Jakarta Bina Marga Department, Yusmada Faizal acknowledged the plan will be executed this year.

“ Roadblock removal aims to add pedestrian and biker tracks ,” he stated, after he became a speaker in a discussion of the e-catalog development for construction service at Hotel Millenium, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (8/19).

In conjunction with the matter, the real condition of sidewalk is very narrow about 1.5 meters. It is also worsened by water channel and electricity pole along the road.

Ideally, sidewalk for pedestrian is at least 3 meters, alike on Jalan Sudirman and Jalan MH Thamrin. But it is less ideal when the road passed by mass rapid transit (MRT). Because MRT is exist, there will be a halted escalator that connects to MRT station. Thus, its number becomes 8-10 meters.
