Crimes on Jl. Sutoyo

Crimes on Jl. Sutoyo

From Neraca

Much has been written in the media about the crimes taking
place along Jl. Letjen Sutoyo, particularly in front of Indonesia
Christian University (UKI). The crimes involve hold-ups and purse
snatchings to murder and rape. On top of all this, the traffic is
always chaotic. This is partly caused by the people who prefer to
cross the road directly instead of using the overpass.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that many
accidents happen in that area. The people seem to be completely
ignorant of the traffic signs and the police station nearby. I
wonder why they do not impose sanctions on violators of traffic
regulations and on those crossing the road without the overpass.

It is time the authorities enforced the law and took stern
measures against violators, and the other criminals who lurk
there.
