Jammed roads

Jammed roads

From Merdeka

The end of the discussion on traffic jam is nowhere in sight.
On the contrary, it is taking on wider proportions since the
problem is extending to regions outside Jakarta, like Bogor,
Tangerang and Bekasi.

Traffic jams have often been blamed on what is called bottle
necks, also on intersections. Indeed, even the toll roads are
taking on the brunt of the problem.

In other words, traffic jams are everywhere, making it
difficult for commuters to find alternative routes to escape
traffic snarls.

This is an insurmountable problem when we have to be on time
for appointments or dates. The lines of immobile vehicles
stretching into infinity are enough to give the frustrated
commuter angry palpitations of the heart.

Being one of the daily commuters, I would like to suggest that
the authorities improve their road planning and widen the city's
bottlenecks, make available more alternative roads and overpasses
as well as underpasses at intersections, which will greatly
minimize delays caused by traffic lights.
