South Jakarta roads

From Pelita

Not very long ago, I wrote a report on the condition of several roads in Cinere, Lebak Bulus and Karang Tengah in South Jakarta. In Cinere, many of the roads are in good condition because they have just been repaired.

But the repairs along many streets in Karang Tengah and Lebak Bulus have not been done well enough. The workers have not repaired the damage entirely. They simply ignored minor damage. As a result motorists still have to move at a snail's pace along the roads.

During the upcoming rainy season these roads will become worse. The repairs do not include the broken gutters along the streets. Last year, many roads were inundated with water during rainy season and congestion was a common sight.
