Discipline on toll road

Discipline on toll road

From Bisnis Indonesia

Lately a number of military units in Jakarta have been
flagging down and checking vehicles bearing military number
plates. It would be a good thing if such operations were extended
to include disciplinary behavior of toll road users, including
Armed Forces members.

It is not precluded that quite a few Armed Forces members
violate toll road regulations, including the intra-urban toll
road from Bekasi over the cloverleaf to Grogol. Jasa Marga
traffic wardens seem reluctant to take the necessary steps
against regulation violators if they happen to be in Armed Forces
vehicles.

At the East Pondok Gede toll booth reserved for toll users
with the exact change, many road users including Armed Forces
members obstruct the flow of traffic by not adhering to the
rules.

If necessary, Jakarta Military District Commander Major
General Setiyoso should visit the intra-urban toll road incognito
during peak hours to see for himself the behavior of certain road
users.
