JAKARTA - A resident of Poltangan, Tanjung Barat, South Jakarta admits he is anxious about crossing the Tanjung Barat flyover because the access to the road is close to an intersection in that area.
According to one resident, Wani Kurniadi, when met near the Poltangan flyover, there were concerns that residents would pass to the flyover because the access to the flyover was close to the Poltangan intersection.
Because of that, he said, if a vehicle leaves Poltangan towards the flyover, you must be careful not to collide with a vehicle that is traveling straight from Pasar Minggu to Lenteng Agung.
"There should be an officer who regulates the flow of traffic because if it is not regulated, vehicles from Poltangan that want to enter the flyover could be hit by a vehicle that is straight from Pasar Minggu," said Wani.
According to Wani's observations, vehicles passing from Pasar Minggu straight to Lenteng Agung, on average, accelerate when the traffic is quiet.
Meanwhile, access to the Tanjung Barat flyover towards Pasar Minggu is not far from the intersection of the Poltangan complex.
"Just try to pay attention, if we are not careful passing by, we could be hit by a vehicle driving from the direction of Pasar Minggu," he said.
The same thing was conveyed by the shop owner on Jalan Raya Tanjung Barat, right in front of the Tanjung Barat flyover, Ali (54).
Ali suggested there should be a red light to regulate the flow of vehicle traffic from the Poltangan and Pasar Minggu directions so that the vehicles of residents who want to enter the flyover are safer.
According to Ali, nearly 1:10 of the Tanjung Barat flyover users are Poltangan residents. Most residents pass to Pasar Minggu, apart from working for work, also for shopping.
"On average, Poltangan residents are traders, they go to Pasar Minggu almost every day and of course the active users are local residents," he said.
Still lonelyHowever, Ali admitted that the Tanjung Barat flyover trial made residents happier because the faster access to Pasar Minggu did not have to go far to Pancasila University or Condet.
According to him, not many residents know about this trial. If they already know, the number of vehicles crossing the flyover will increase.
"On Sundays it tends to be quiet," he said.
Therefore, Ali continued, to anticipate that there would be no accidents or obstruction of traffic due to vehicles from Poltangan going to the flyover, it is necessary to regulate traffic flow near the Poltangan T-junction.
From Antara's observation, most of the Tanjung Barat flyover users were vehicles coming from the Poltangan direction that wanted to turn to Pasar Minggu.
Meanwhile, most of the vehicles coming from Pasar Minggu are going straight to Lenteng Agung. Because, before West Tanjung, there was already a rotating place near Pasar Minggu Station.
The DKI Jakarta Bina Marga Office conducted a public trial (open traffic) flyover of Lenteng Agung and Tanjung Barat, South Jakarta, for three days.
The trial time for the Lenteng Agung-IISP flyover and the Tanjung Barat flyover is scheduled for Sunday at 08.00 - 21.00 WIB.
Trial the following day Monday, February 1 at 06.00 to 21.00 WIB. Then, Tuesday, February 2 at 06.00 - 21.00 WIB.
The Lenteng Agung flyover is 430 meters long on the west side and 450 meters on the temur side with a width of 6.5 meters. Meanwhile, the west side of Tanjung Barat flyover reaches 540 meters and the east side reaches 590 meters.
The construction of the Lenteng Agung and Tanjung Barat flyovers aims to unravel traffic jams, eliminate railroad crossings, minimize traffic accidents by train and secure rail travel.
The two flyovers are attractively designed by taking the shape of a horseshoe back to back.
