Rule on speed bumps needed

Rule on speed bumps needed

From Warta Kota

With reference to a report in Warta Kota on Dec. 14, titled Minivan drivers protest against speed bumps, I would like to convey my complaint and proposal on the same matter.

I live in Bambu Apus, on the outskirts of East Jakarta, where permanent speed bumps are located not only on main roads, but also on small lanes.

The bumps come in various sizes, but some are so tall that even motorcycles find it difficult to pass over them.

My suggestion is that the Jakarta provincial administration issue a regional regulation on speed bumps so that residents will not build such bumps wherever they want.

The height of the bumps should be specified to prevent them from damaging shock absorbers. Meanwhile, citizens should build speed bumps only where necessary.
