        "summary": "The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is considering a proposal to redesign roads in Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta, to alleviate chronic traffic congestion following a viral social media video highlighting the issue. Officials from the Transportation Department have conducted field surveys and are evaluating options, including the potential implementation of a roundabout similar to the HI area, though concerns remain about high vehicle volumes causing gridlock. This initiative underscores the government's ongoing efforts to address urban traffic bottlenecks through public input and stakeholder consultations post-Eid.",

The proposal was submitted by the Instagram account <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"itx_\">@itx_<\/span> through a video it\nuploaded. Deputy Coordinator of the Governor of Jakarta\u2019s Special Staff,\nYustinus Prastowo, stated that the provincial government immediately\ncoordinated after the upload gained public attention. He assessed that\nthe input provided serves as material for consideration by the\ngovernment in seeking solutions to congestion at that point. \u201cIn\nprinciple, it is good input and the Dishub team is conducting studies\nand field deepening,\u201d he said. Currently, the Transportation Department\nis still deepening on the ground various proposals that have emerged,\nincluding the possibility of changing traffic engineering. \u201cCurrently,\nthe Dishub friends are focusing on regulating the Eid homecoming flow.\nAfter Eid, a meeting will be held and we will involve stakeholders to\ndiscuss it,\u201d he said. Yustinus emphasised that the DKI Jakarta\nProvincial Government continues to pay attention to congestion points\nand strives to provide appropriate solutions for the community.\nMeanwhile, the Head of the South Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department,\nBernard Octavianus Pasaribu, said that officers have conducted field\nsurveys to follow up on the proposal. \u201cOn Tuesday, 15 March 2026, a\nsurvey was conducted by the DKI Jakarta Transportation Department\u2019s\nTraffic Division, and it is currently in the stage of in-depth study,\u201d\nsaid Bernard. Preliminary discussion results indicate that the concept\nof a roundabout with a circular pattern like in the HI area has the\npotential to be implemented, but it carries risks if vehicle volume is\ntoo high. \u201cIf vehicle circulation is very high, it can cause stagnation\nor lock-up, so careful calculations are needed in its application,\u201d he\nsaid. Previously, the upload from the Instagram account <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"itx_\">@itx_<\/span> drew attention after\nshowing traffic conditions in the Lebak Bulus area filled with closely\nspaced intersections with traffic lights over short distances.<\/p>",
