Officials meet on traffic order areas

Officers from related institutions will meet today at city
police headquarters to discuss the strict enforcement of traffic
regulations in selected areas of the city.

Head of the City Police Traffic Investigation Unit Lt. Col.
Herman S. Sumawiredja told The Jakarta Post yesterday
participants of the meeting will include the Municipal Traffic
Police Directorate, Public Works Office, Traffic and Land
Transportation Control (DLLAJ) Office and the Judicial and Court
offices.

He said the one-day meeting is expected to help solve the
current problems facing officers carrying out their duties in the
selected areas.

"For example, we hope DLLAJ will install the required traffic
signs and the Public Works Office will further improve the
quality of the roads," he said. "Then we have the legal right to
ticket a pedestrian who refuses to use the available zebra
crossing."(bsr)
