JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Daop 1 Jakarta noted that there are still 140 illegal railroad crossings in the Daop 1 Jakarta working area until early October 2025, so it is a serious concern because of the high risk of accidents.
Meanwhile, the other 287 are crossings guarded with related parties.
"A level crossing is one of the accident-prone points, so more attention from all parties is needed," said Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Operational Area (Daop) 1 Jakarta, Ixfan Hendriwintoko quoting Antara.
Therefore, PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) Daop 1 Jakarta continues to strive to keep illegal crossings closed in stages according to the mandate of regulations, and invites the public to use a safer official route.
In addition, to improve the safety of train travel, especially at level crossings, KAI Jakarta routinely conducts rail safety socialization activities.
"We hope that the public will be increasingly aware that safety is a shared responsibility and every road user must prioritize train travel in accordance with Law Number 23 of 2007 concerning Railways," said Ixfan.
One of these activities was carried out on Saturday (4/10). PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta conducted a railway safety socialization at JPL 75 Sudimara Station involving a rail lover community.

In the socialization, it is conveyed to the road user community to always be disciplined and comply with traffic rules.
This is as regulated in Article 114 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation which requires every vehicle driver to stop when the signal has sounded, the railroad gate has started to close or other signs have been given.
Then, prioritize train travel and give the main rights to vehicles that first cross the rails if there is no doorstop.
PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta hopes that this socialization activity can strengthen public awareness so that the number of accidents at level crossings can be significantly reduced.
