Monitoring the editors of VOI, the flooding that inundated Kemang made South Jakarta traffic paralyzed. The tail of the traffic jam even overflowed to the South Jakarta mayor's office.
Even motorbikes that are used to rolling around, have to give up with this severe traffic jam. Vehicles that want to enter Kemang are diverted to under the Prince Antasari flyover. Inevitably, severe traffic jams were unavoidable.
Several shortcuts to be able to turn towards Kemang also did not escape the flood. Including the Purat Jeruk area.
