JAKARTA - The traffic flow from Senen to Matraman began experiencing long traffic jams on Jalan Salemba Raya to Jalan Kramat Raya on Wednesday, August 28, afternoon.

This congestion was triggered by the large number of vehicles leaving the alternative route in the Rivoli, Kenari and Paseban areas in Senen District. Vehicles bound to go to Jalan Kramat Raya and Jalan Salemba Raya were forced to queue and cause traffic jams.

Moreover, after half the body of Jalan Salemba Raya, precisely in the area in front of the DKI Jakarta KPU Office, it was closed using a red barrier barrier, access vehicles going to the Matraman area from Monday began to build up.

"Yes, it's jammed, because there (the window in front of the Jakarta KPU) is closed, the barrier is half the road so it's narrowed. The vehicle has to queue because the road is shrinking," said Roy (45), a four-wheeled rider who passed at the location, Wednesday, August 28, afternoon.

Even so, Sabhara members from the Central Jakarta Metro Police and the Central Jakarta Metro Police Traffic Unit continue to regulate traffic.

In addition to Jalan Salemba Raya which narrowed due to barrier barriers, traffic jams were also caused by the large number of motorbikes that stopped for a moment in front of the DKI Jakarta KPU office.

"Let's go, go, go. Motorcyclists go forward, don't stop looking around so they don't get stuck," said the police.

Previously, the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono pair claimed to have brought a new concept to Jakarta. He promised to solve the problem of floods and traffic jams which had been a problem for the former capital city. He said Jakarta had to jump into a global city.

"We will also bring new concepts to Jakarta, solve routine problems, floods, pollution of congestion, and also bring new things, new leaps, post-Jakarta is no longer the capital, but wants to jump into a Global city," he said.

"We both came with experience, hopefully we can be pleased with the residents of Jakarta," he said.
