Three-in-one

Three-in-one

The aim of three-in-one system for the restricted area of Jl. Gatot Subroto-Sudirman-Thamrin is to reduce traffic congestion on those roads. In line with this regulation, alternative roads are provided.

But the three-in-one regulation that is applied on the road between Jl. Dr. Satrio (which is connected to Jl. Casablanca) and Jl. Peltu Rakhmat Sidup to enter Jl. Gatot Subroto, is not necessary. The people using that particular section work in the Patra Jasa building and BBD Bank, next to Lippo Bank and Kartini Hall.

The section is only about 600 meters long and there is hardly any traffic, except when the red lights at the Kuningan-Gatot Subroto intersection are on. Unfortunately, there is no alternative road to reach Patra Jasa building and BBD Bank. So it is quite illogical to include that section in the three-in-one system.

The police use it as an object for earning extra money. Very often the policemen patrol the area to find prey. They are surely not to blame for patrolling that part of the road. But again including it in the three-in-one rule is incomprehensible, and even irritating.

Why don't they abolish the three-in-one policy for that particular section? Traffic regulations will remain effective without it and road users will not be disturbed.
