jakartaartmovement: Jl.Tikus or Rat Alley in Jakarta

Jakarta diperkirakan para ahli lalu-lintas pada 2014 mungkin akan mengalami tahun terburuk menyoal kemacetan. Sama dengan kota-kota dunia yang masuk pada daftar “10 monster of traffic jams from around the world” versi BBC.

Kota-kota tersebut adalah Sao Paulo-Brazil, Bangkok-Thailand, Nairobi-Kenya, Manila-Philippines, Mumbai-India, Kampala-Uganda, Lexington, Kentucky-US, Austin, Texas-US, Seoul-South Korea, Dhaka-Bangladesh, Megeve - French Alps.

Anda bisa memaklumi jika 2014 terjadi titik jenuh kemacetan di Jakarta. Bayangkan, pertumbuhan jumlah kendaraan bermotor benar-benar tidak terkendali. Ada sekitar ± 8 juta unit kendaraan bermotor di Jakarta yang terdiri dari kendaraan pribadi sebanyak 98% & angkutan umum hanya 2%. Pertumbuhan Mobil pribadi ± 250 unit/hari & Sepeda Motor ± 1000 unit/hari.

Jalan Tikus, gang tikus atau jalan alternatif yang biasanya kecil, dan terdapat ditengah-tengah wilayah kampung di kota Jakarta, mungkin salah satu alternatif tercepat untuk sedikit “mengurai” kemacetan. Terutama bagi pengguna kendaraan sepeda motor.

Selain itu, tentu pemerintah Jakarta dan masyarakat musti berbenah diri dengan memperbaiki kualitas sistem transportasi massal dan berperilaku berkendara yang tertib. Ada satu PR bagi pemerintah, yakni secara resmi mengajak masyarakat kampung ditengah-tengah kota untuk ikut berpartisipasi secara langsung menyelesaikan persoalan kemacetan.

Hanya dengan kesadaran bersama akan menggerakkan pembenahan informasi tentang jalan tikus. Setidaknya pengguna jalan mendapatkan informasi lebih baik, sementara tidak pula memberatkan masyarakat kampung.

Kemudian satu hal lagi, kapankah para pekerja kreatif dan para seniman segera berperan aktif dengan kekuatan mandiri di lingkungan kampung masing-masing? Membuat tanda-tanda lalu-lintas untuk informasi jalan tikus?

Jakarta has been predicted by traffic experts in 2014 may be having the worst year related to the problem of congestion.

It was similar to what happens in the cities of the world are included on the list of "10 monster of traffic jams from around the world" by BBC version.

These cities are Sao Paulo, Brazil, Bangkok, Thailand, Nairobi, Kenya, Manila, Philippines, Mumbai, India, Kampala, Uganda, Lexington, Kentucky, US, Austin, Texas, U.S, Seoul, South Korea, Dhaka, Bangladesh and Megeve, French Alps.

You can immediately understand in 2014 will be the peak of traffic congestion in Jakarta because the actual growth in the number of vehicles can not be controlled.

There are approximately ± 8 million units of vehicles in Jakarta consisting of as many as 98% of private vehicles and public transport is only 2%. The growth of private cars ± 250 units / day & motorcycles ± 1000 units / day.

Jl.Tikus (jalan tikus) or rat alley or “emergency road” were typically small and often located in the middle area of the kampoong in the city. Maybe rat alley is one of the fastest alternative for at least " unravel congestion" in Jakarta, especially for users of motorcycles.

In the meantime, of course, the Jakarta government and road users should work together. The government immediately improve the quality of mass transit systems and people start driving properly in accordance with traffic regulations.

There is one more homework for the government which is formally they should invite the kampoong communities in the middle of the city to participate directly resolve the congestion problem.

Regarding rat alley, only by mutual consent will also move the distribution of information about the location where the rat alley can be accessed by road users. In this case, as long as not to burden the kampoong comunities.

Finnaly, there is one thing that is still in our minds, when it's time for creative workers and artists will voluntary work on kampoong nearby to make traffic signs in providing information about the rat alley?
