JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan is currently drafting a governor's decision to regulate the facilities for road bike users on the Nontol Flyover (JLNT) Kampung Melayu-Tanah Abang and Jalan Sudirman-Thamrin.

This was disclosed by the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria. However, the regulation is still being discussed with the Polda Metro Jaya.

"The determination of the roadbike trajectory will be regulated through a governor's decision. The draft is still being discussed in a marathon by stakeholders. This is just the result of the meeting between the Transportation Agency and the Regional Police. The temporary agreement will once again await the arrangement through the governor's decision," said Riza at the City Hall of DKI, Central Jakarta. , Monday, May 31.

However, said Deputy Governor Riza, it does not mean that the special lane for racing bicycles will be made permanent throughout the day. Riza leaked the plan to determine the schedule for the route.

The permanent road bike lane on JLNT Kampung Melayu will be opened specifically on Saturdays and Sundays, starting from 05.00 WIB to 08.00 WIB. After that, road bike cyclists were prohibited from crossing the JLNT.

"The flyover runs from Kota Kasablanka to Karet or Jalan KH Mas Mansyur from 5 to 8 in the morning, specifically on Saturday-Sunday," said Riza.

Then the permanent road bike lane on Jalan Sudirman-Thamrin is opened Monday-Friday from 05.00 WIB to 06.30 WIB. Meanwhile, bicycles other than road bikes are still required to pass on permanent bicycle lanes.

"Other than this time, it is prohibited. (Bicycles) are all required to use permanent bicycle lanes other than at that time," said Riza.

Riza explained the reason why his party allowed road bikes to cross the highway from Sudirman to Thamrin on Monday-Friday at 05.00-06.30 WIB.

The Deputy Governor said, the DKI Provincial Government is trying to provide an opportunity for racing cyclists to be comfortable driving at high speeds, even if it is only for an hour and a half. After that, traffic users return to their respective lanes.

"It's the government's job to manage it as well as possible so that all have equal opportunities. Pedestrians, road bike users, non-road bikers, motorcycles, then public transportation, buses and trucks," said Riza.
