JAKARTA - Monday morning, December 22, 2025, the traffic flow on Jalan Otto Iskandar which leads to Jalan Raya Jakarta-Bogor, Ciputat area, South Tangerang, is crowded with two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. Long traffic jams appeared to be rolling from the Jalan Padjajaran intersection until entering the Ciputat area.

In addition to the high volume of vehicles in the morning rush hour, the congestion is exacerbated by road intersections that are not guarded by officers. The damaged road conditions, with potholes and waterlogged asphalt, also slow down the speed of vehicles.

The worst point of congestion is in the area behind Pasar Cimanggis. On the road to Ciputat-Jakarta, just before the bus PO area, there was a significant accumulation of vehicles. However, after passing that point, traffic flow returned to a relatively normal state, until congestion was found again at the U-turn before the Ciputat flyover.

The asphalt damage behind Cimanggis Market not only impacts the smoothness of traffic, but also shows the face of the area which looks shabby. The water puddles mixed with garbage give off an unpleasant smell, while the garbage is scattered on the road. The condition is getting more messy with the presence of a number of vehicles parked in the wrong place, on the side of the road.

Motorbike and car drivers take the left lane to avoid the muddy potholes. That's why the long traffic jam occurs.

The VOI team who passed by and recorded the situation directly on Jalan Otto Iskandar towards Jalan Raya Jakarta-Bogor, the area behind Pasar Cimanggis, found a worrying condition. Residents and road users also hope for attention and serious handling from the parties concerned so that the area can be arranged and comfortable to pass.
