Ahead Of The Christmas And New Year Holidays, Jasa Raharja Highlights Roads Prone To Accidents

PT Jasa Raharja highlighted a number of roads prone to accidents ahead of the 2024 Christmas and New Year 2025 (Nataru) holidays. The vulnerable roads that need to be anticipated are mainly in the DKI Jakarta to Medan areas.

Jasa Raharja President Director Rivan Achmad Purwantono revealed that the road connecting the Kasablanka City Mall area to Duren Sawit District is one of the accident-prone.

In Jakarta, from Kasablanka to Duren Sawit the most frequent is to make a round or go against the flow when turning around. That victim is a motorbike. Now that often (there is an accident)," he said, quoted Wednesday, December 11.

According to Rivan, the high number of accidents along the Kasablanka City Mall to Duren Sawit roads is the same as those on the Sidoarjo Regency and Surabaya roads.

In addition, Rivan continued, several roads prone to accidents are also in Medan, as well as Tebing Tinggi to Pematang Siantar.

"So this is indeed an area that we must anticipate," he said.

Accident Rate In Indonesia Capai 125,000

Rivan revealed that the number of traffic accidents in Indonesia until November 2024 reached 125,087 accidents with 133,042 victims. Meanwhile, the number of victims who died as a result of the accident reached 26,000 people.

Even so, Rivan said the accident rate actually decreased by 7.47 percent when compared to November 2023 which reached 135,179 accidents with 138,864 victims and 29,000 people who died.

"Until today, 26,000 people have died, hopefully it won't increase. So that's the trend that has decreased," he explained.

In helping to reduce the level of traffic accidents, Jasa Raharja also routinely conducts outreach to the public regarding the importance of maintaining safety while driving.

Rivan pun menekankan kepada pengendara untuk selalu mematuhi aturan lalu lintas untuk keselamatan. Terutama, bagi pengguna kendalatan bermotor agar tidak melawan arus jalan.

"After the recommended round. Surely the recommendation of the round is to be safe, not to avoid going against different currents," he said.
