Mall worsens traffic

Mall worsens traffic

From Kompas

Construction of Mega Mall in Pluit, North Jakarta, was completely wrong, because it worsens traffic problems. Prolonged traffic jams take place every day including holidays, since there is only one entrance on Jl. Pluit Indah.

To reach North Pluit, Pluit Permai and Pantai Mutiara, one has to go through the bridge at Muara Karang (some three kilometers away), because the road goes one way. This results in a heavy congestion on Jl. Pluit Indah Raya.

Flood level tends to rise particularly during high tide. Transportation costs also increase because all vehicles have to go around the Mega Mall. I suggest that the government provides alternative road to ease the traffic congestion in this area.
