JAKARTA - The police said there were three rules that were violated by the tail-wheelers crossing the Jalan Gatot Subroto section. Starting from Road Traffic and Transportation (LLAJ) to the National Police Chief Regulation (Perkap).

The first rule is Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning LLAJ. The regulation regulates the safety of all road users.

This is because the roller skates use the middle lane which is intended for riders with a fairly high speed.

"Because it is carried out (wheel skating, ed) on roads that are used for public traffic. The Traffic Act prioritizes safety for all road users," said Head of Sub-Directorate for Gakkum Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya AKBP Jamal Alam to reporters, Tuesday, May 10 .

Then, there is also Government Regulation (PP) number 34 of 2006. This rule prohibits the use of roads that cause disruption of road functions.

The last rule is the National Police Chief's Regulation No. 10 of 2012. This rule regulates that the use of roads other than for traffic activities must have a permit from the police.

Because of the three rules that were violated, Jamal said he would call the skating community. The goal is to provide education about these rules.

"We give educational appeals so that the same activity is not carried out. (Summoning, red) at 1 pm," said Jamal.

For information, a video of a group of roller skate players walking hand in hand in the middle of the highway on Jalan Gatot Subroto has gone viral on Twitter social media.

The video received various criticisms from netizens because it was considered a danger to other road users.
