" The Congestion problem in Jakarta."

Traffic jam is not only a problem in some developed countries, but also in developing countries like Indonesia.

Based on the study conducted by the WHO/UNEP, Jakarta is included 4 major polluted cities in the world.

More than 70% of air pollution comes from motor vehicle emissions in 1998, pollution levels in Jakarta has increased more than three times as much in 2015.

Congestion in the streets makes it very uncomfortable. The situation made all the road users stressful.

Number of vehicles in Jakarta has increased from year to year. By taking the ratio of the number of motor vehicles in 1994, according to data released by the Police of Indonesia Republic, that there's an increase of 2.34 times for motorcycles and 1.99 times for private cars in 2004.

Sure it would be further doubled again in 2020. Along with increasing population, the transportation needs are growing. This is the main cause of traffic jam. Beside that there are another factors ; inadequate road facilities, limited parking area, the mess city administration, the road users which not in orderly traffic, and many other factors.

Local governments have attempted to this overcome. Make some rules apply eg 3 in 1 system on the main road causing traffic jams, create an busway, freeway and many others. But it cannot handle it.

I think there are some solutions to solve this problem. We must learn to Chinese Government's road congestion. Chinese Government to raise taxes doubled vehicle. So people are reluctant to have cars and motorcycles.

They prefer to bicycles as a means of transportation. This way is much more healthy environment and saving the money, efficient and pollution free.

And road congestion are increasing impact on crime the street. It's time our government learned and apply it before the peak traffic will really make all road user to unusual fears and inhibit the activity of all the people.
