JAKARTA - A number of roads in the North Jakarta area were flooded during heavy rains that hit the North Jakarta area and its surroundings on Friday, October 31, 2025.
From VOI's observation, flood inundation occurred along Jalan Ketel, Pademangan to Jalan RE Martadinata, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.
The puddle is about 30 to 40 centimeters high. The uneven contour of the road on Jalan Ketel and Jalan RE Martadinata with a slope on the left, has trapped a number of vehicles in the flood.
On average, two-wheeled vehicles passing on the side of the left lane on Jalan RE Martadinata experienced a strike because puddles of water entered the engine area of their motorbike.
A number of motors that broke down had to be pushed by motorists to a place far from standing water. The motorcyclists who broke down lifted their vehicles onto the sidewalk to be temporarily dried.
In addition, flood inundation is also found around Tanjung Priok Terminal and in front of Tanjung Priok Station. Several motorbikes driven by online motorcycle taxis also experienced a strike.
They were forced to pull their vehicles to a higher place far from the puddle by pushing them.
Sutanto, one of the online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) who experienced a strike, looked difficult when trying to turn on his motorbike.
He admitted that he was trapped in the flood in front of the Tanjung Priok terminal while delivering passengers.
"Because of the flood, the flood, sir, was there, in front of the Tanjung Priok Terminal. The height of the knee. The water entered the motorbike engine, so it broke down," said the man from Central Java to VOI, Friday, October 31, evening.
Sutanto admitted that his motorbike broke down while carrying a passenger. However, because the motorbike suddenly turned off, the passenger he was traveling with had to get off.
"I was driving with passengers, as a result, the passengers got off there because my motorbike broke down. But still paid. Yes, more motorcycle taxis, motorcycle taxis," he said.
Sutanto hopes that the North Jakarta City Government will be serious in carrying out channel normalization and drainage improvement efforts so that the North Jakarta area does not become a flood subscription during the rainy season.
"Yes, I hope so that it doesn't just flood, because I will be the one who gets harmed if it is flooded. People also lose, not officials," he complained
