More complaints about toll roads

From Media Indonesia

During peak hours in the afternoon, when traffic is heavy on the Tegal Parang flyover, toll roads in the city are considerably congested, causing traffic jams as far as Hotel Maharaja and the intersection between Jl. Kuningan and Jl. Gatot Subroto. This has happened for quite a while.

The jams are caused by cars crossing the road from Jl. Arteri to the Kuningan II toll gate, thus blocking the traffic to Arteri and the lane leading to the toll gate.

In order to overcome the congestion, PT Jasa Marga (the state road construction company) should assign officials to guard the dividing lane between the roads to Arteri and to the Kuningan II toll gate.

The public has complained about toll road congestion and inferior service, while road users have to pay increased rates.
