JAKARTA - The continuation of the construction of bicycle lanes at several points in Jakarta is made permanently. However, the permanent bicycle lane no longer uses a box planter or concrete in the form of flower pots such as on Jalan Sudirman-Thamrin, but uses a stick cone. Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, explained that the concrete pot could no longer be installed in the construction of bicycle lanes this time. He realized that the concrete barrier actually narrowed the road. "(The bicycle lane) is permanent) using a stick cone, not a pot. Once we use something like the HI ( Roundabout area), it will eat enough roads. Stick cone is more flexible, planted," said Syafrin at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building, Monday, October 3. One of the installations of the stick cone as a permanent bicycle lane marker in Jakarta is on Jalan Salemba Raya. Syafrin said that the bicycle lane at this location is still sufficient to be made permanent because the road is quite wide. Meanwhile, on a narrower road, the DKI Transportation Agency built a bicycle lane mixed with other motorized vehicles and was marked by a broken-up road mark. "In terms of analysis, on several roads that are then wide, the road is adequate to give priority to cyclists, we are made on a permanent path. But if it is not adequate, we will do a mix traffic," said Syafrin. For information, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan continued the construction of bicycle lanes this year along 196.45 kilometers. The construction of this advanced bicycle lane will begin in August to December 2022. This is an implementation of Regional Strategic Activity (KSD) Number 36 for the Development of Bicycle Infrastructure and Facilities and supports the Jakarta Bicycle Friendly Program. Syafrin said the bicycle lanes built this year were on 26 protected bicycle lanes, shared with highways, and bicycle lanes on the sidewalk. "The construction of a bicycle lane for the 2022 fiscal year is planned for 196.45 kilometers consisting of a protected bicycle lane of 40.06 kilometers, sharing (share) of 154.73 kilometers, and on the sidewalk or complete street of 1.67 kilometers," said Syafrin.
