So far, not all of the 63 kilometers of bicycle paths that have been tested in three phases will be installed with barriers such as traffic cones to block bicycle lanes from other vehicles.

Syafrin said, DKI Transportation Agency only installed traffic cones in areas deemed dangerous. "The cone is one that is regulated in the governor's regulation," he said.

"For bicycle lanes, the barrier can be in the form of road markings and road markings that are solid or broken. As soon as a motorized vehicle passes the solid markers, it will automatically break," he added.
