Jakarta-Merak toll road<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
When we went for holiday to Anyer on Oct. 25, we were shocked
\nby the Jakarta-Merak toll road condition. It seems the said toll
\nroad can more appropriately be called \"village road\" as it has no
\nsupervisor who is responsible for it. But at the end there are
\nhoodlums demanding payment from users.<\/p>\n
Before and after the Cikupa gate one can see old and new food
\nstalls on the roadside, constructed by breaking the toll road
\nfence.<\/p>\n
In two places we saw two motorbikes cross the toll road.
\nMoreover, there was a group of children on bicycles crossing the
\ntoll road by jumping over the median, directly beneath the
\nfootbridge. And more startling still was an old man pedaling his
\nbike on the shoulder toward Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The condition of the toll road itself is \"extraordinary\". It
\nhas many holes and is heavily corrugated. On the road there are
\nalso various wastes and tall coarse grass growing along the
\nmedian. Dividing lines are fading and some road signs are
\nillegible. Who is responsible for all this?<\/p>\n
