JAKARTA - The sidewalk or pedestrian area dedicated to pedestrians and people with disabilities along Jalan Sumur Batu Raya, Sumur Batu Village, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta has turned into a parking lot for illegal cars and street vendors (PKL).

Sigit (39), one of the pedestrians, regrets that the pedestrian along Jalan Sumur Batu Raya has turned into a vehicle park and trade. Whereas the pedestrian which was built by the government is intended for walking pedestrians.

"That's an example of one car parked on a pedestrian street, pedestrians can't pass at all," he told reporters at the location, Wednesday, June 8.

In the same place, Fitri (50) complained about the lack of officers who control the violators who control pedestrians. Like a helmet merchant who controls all pedestrians.

"I once reprimanded the owner, in fact we were scolded. In fact, he said, it's still wide on the highway," Fitri regrets.

It was confirmed separately, the Head of the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept. Wildan regretted that there were cars that were still desperate to park on pedestrians. Though the pedestrian is intended for pedestrians and not as a parking lot.

"Pedestrians are built for pedestrians, not parking lots. We will order vehicles that are reckless to park on pedestrians," he said.
