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.
