Mampang Prapatan needs more bridges

From Neraca

I often pass along the Mampang Prapatan road and am concerned about the pedestrians who frequently cross this road.

The stretch of road starting from Hero supermarket to Ragunan Raya is very wide and divided into four lanes for two-way traffic. Heavy traffic makes it very difficult for pedestrians to cross this road.

Fast moving vehicles increase the risk of accidents on this road. There is, indeed, a pedestrian bridge available. However, more bridges could be added. For instance, one bridge for every kilometer.

The important point is that the presence of more pedestrian bridges would reduce accidents.
