Students protest chaotic traffic

BOGOR (JP): About 60 Pakuan University students grouped under
the Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI) staged a street
protest on Wednesday, campaigning for orderly traffic in the
city.

The group walked its way along Jl. Ir. H. Juanda, Jl. Capt.
Muslihat past Ramayana Department Store, Bogor market, the Kujang
Monument, Baranangsiang bus terminal, Jl. Padjadjaran and back to
City Hall.

Waving posters and banners, the students demanded the public
heed traffic regulations.

"We also demand the administration fix traffic signs and
facilities. Many traffic lights are not functioning properly,
while pedestrians never make use of pedestrian bridges and zebra
crossings," Dede, a protesting student, said.

The group plans to submit recommendations on how to fix the
city's overwhelming traffic problems to the mayor soon. (21/edt)
