Feeling uneasy on Serpong freeway

From Media Indonesia

As a resident of Serpong in Tangerang, I go to work in Jakarta
mostly via the Ulujami-Serpong freeway. On my way home, I often
feel scared because the toll road is not illuminated at night.

Apart from the lighting along Jalan Ulujami, the whole section
from Ranji to Serpong is without lights, making the road very
dark and making me feel insecure.

Once my car stalled on the dark freeway, which made me wary of
robbery. Fortunately, another car stopped to help me until the
engine started again.

Therefore, I would suggest that local highway transport
authorities monitor the road's development and provide adequate
lighting for the Ranji-Serpong route.

This is particularly relevant in view of rapid urban growth in
Serpong, which increases the number of cars passing the freeway.

Meanwhile, illumination in this section is also necessary
because local villagers still cross the toll road late at night,
and those driving cars are unable to see them.
