Traffic to TMII getting worse

Traffic to TMII getting worse

From Bisnis Indonesia

The traffic on the tollway in front of the Beautiful Miniature Indonesia Park (TMII), East Jakarta, is getting worse, especially during rush hours on weekdays and holidays.

The traffic jams occur mostly due to the rapid development of housing complexes in Cipayung and Pondok Gede because most of the residents use the road to avoid the congestion along the Pondok Gede road.

Before the housing complexes were built, the traffic on weekdays was relatively smooth, except when there was an event at TMII.

Another cause of traffic jams is the bottleneck on the Hankam highway which is situated to the west of TMII. The width of the TMII road is 15 meters, while the road on the Hankam highway is only five meters wide.

The best way to solve this problem is to widen the Hankam highway to 15 meters. If the Jakarta Administration broadens the street, the bottleneck would be eliminated.
