JAKARTA - Joint officers from the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept. (Sudin) together with the TNI and Polri control a number of expedition trucks that often carry out loading and unloading goods in the Tanah Abang Market area, Central Jakarta, Friday, January 12, afternoon.

However, after tracking the control, it turned out that the 100 joint officers did not find any expedition trucks loading and unloading goods on the sidewalk and shoulder of the road in the Tanah Abang Market area.

"We charge the truck every day, the name (personnel) is also limited, but these drivers also violate it," said Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept. Field Coordinator, WS Laoli, to VOI at the location.

Because they did not find a loading and unloading truck, the officers finally controlled the illegal parking of two-wheeled vehicles in front of Block A Tanah Abang Market which was on the sidewalk.

"We will urge you again later, we will control it. Because we are joining the TNI and Polri," he said.

Laoli explained that his party recorded dozens of expedition service businesses in the Tanah Abang area.

"(The expedition service) In Tanah Abang is almost average in this market. There are areas of Auri and in Kebon Kacang there are several points," he said.

The loading and unloading of expedition service trucks in the Tanah Abang Market area is increasingly rampant and utilizes pedestrian sidewalk facilities.

The loading and unloading of expedition goods often closes pedestrian access because the existing sidewalks are used as parking lots for expedition services.

A number of expedition service trucks carried out loading and unloading carelessly on Jalan Kebon Kacang XII, Jalan Moch Hasbi along with the Melati Reservoir, Jalan Jat Jatibaru Raya, Jalan KH Mas Mansyur and a number of other roads.

"In addition, there are only trucks loading and unloading trucks hanging around the sidewalks and roads. Even though the road has narrowed, Central Jakarta Transportation officers must take action so that they are deterrent," said Rahman, one of the road users, Thursday, January 11.
