JAKARTA - Commission V of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia has highlighted the condition of the north coast route which is often traversed by logistics transport vehicles. Where, the passing vehicles cause the road to be overloaded.
The condition of the north coast route was in the spotlight when Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives held a working visit related to infrastructure and transportation in Rembang.
"The Pantura Axis is a road that is often traversed by logistics transport with an average load exceeding 10 tons and above, resulting in road overload or overload," said member of Commission V DPR RI Hamka Baco Kady in his statement, Saturday, November 20.
The northern coast lane is one of the options for vehicles transporting goods other than through the toll road. The reason is, by going through the north coast route, you can reduce travel costs.
"Drivers feel that they prefer the north coast axis over alternative toll roads, thus the north coast axis is the main road for logistics transportation," he said.
Therefore, Hamka said that there needed to be additions or improvements to the northern coast line. For example, the buffer on the shoulder of the road so that it does not shift due to the road load. Then the implementation of law enforcement against violators who load goods that are overloaded.
"Therefore, the solution is that the Pantura axis road must be built using concrete materials," said Hamka.
The northern coast line is a 1,161.47 kilometer long road that connects several cities. Starting from the city of Banten to Banyuwangi.
