The problem of rail crossings (KA) in the fields in Jakarta and other areas is still in the spotlight by the Deputy Chairperson of the Central Indonesian Transportation Community (MTI) Empowerment and Development, Djoko Setijowarno.
Djoko admitted that if the fatal accident that occurred at the level of railroad crossing continues, it would be dangerous.
"Law Number 23 of 2007 concerning Railways Article 94 states that the government or local government should close illegal crossings," said Djoko Setijowarno when confirmed by VOI, Monday, February 24.
According to Djoko, recently many accidents have occurred at level crossings at night. In fact, the accident site at the crossing is located in the village area.
Djoko explained that many level crossings have emerged along with the expansion of the residential area in the capital city.
Still, Djoko said, for 24 hours the crossing gate cannot be guarded. Traffic Guard officers only guard at certain hours.
"At night it is not guarded, so residents or passers do not know, because they do not want to pay attention to the presence of signs and markings," he said.

Djoko suggested that train crossings should be guarded for 24 hours every day. If there are no guards, it is better if the level crossing is closed by installing a closed bar.
In order to anticipate accidents, cooperation and coordination are needed with the local city government.
