Several Road Sections in Ciputat Damaged and Potholed: Specific Locations Identified
Police have conducted a mapping of damaged and potholed roads in the Ciputat area of Tangerang Selatan. This initiative was undertaken as a corrective assistance and rehabilitation measure to prevent traffic accidents.
The activity was carried out by the Traffic Unit of Ciputat Police Sector and the South Tangerang Regional Traffic Unit, directly led by Iptu Nur Hidayat and Ipda Dedi Wijaya, on Thursday 26 February 2026.
“This step is taken to respond to road infrastructure conditions that potentially endanger road users and to optimise traffic flow in the East Ciputat jurisdictional area,” said East Ciputat Police Sector Head Kompol Bambang Askar Sodiq in a statement on Thursday 26 February 2026.
Based on field monitoring results, officers identified several critical points requiring immediate repair. The following is the list.
Damaged roads:
Jalan Otista Raya, featuring a road pothole in the front turning area of RS Sari Asih Hospital located right at a corner
Jalan Ir H Juanda, damaged right at the turnaround of Sandratex heading towards Ciputat
Blackspot areas:
In front of IUN campus the road curves slightly, blocked by shophouses, pedestrians at risk (road signage needed)
The turnaround at Perum Dosen UI requires corner curb trimming so that vehicles can turn around in one manoeuvre
Kompol Bambang explained that this data collection is important as a basis for coordination with relevant institutions so that road rehabilitation can be carried out promptly ahead of the 2026 Ketupat Operation.
“This step is taken to improve rider safety ahead of the 2026 Ketupat Operation,” he added.
He stressed that this assistance initiative represents the genuine presence of the Indonesian Police in providing a sense of security for road users.
“This activity focuses on corrective assistance. We are identifying points that technically can obstruct traffic flow or endanger lives. The hope is that with these repairs, traffic accident figures can be minimised as much as possible,” he concluded.
