Problems in Big City

Bekasi, as my dwelling place, also has some problems in city similar with the other big cities in Indonesia, even in the world. In general, there are traffic jam, criminality, and pollution. Traffic jam happens almost every time in this crowded city. It often caused by amount of transportations, especially a lot of public transportations, plus indiscipline of the public transportation’s driver made the traffic jam can’t be avoided. Because of that, the streets were so messy and other road users involved aggravating circumstances. Some of motorcycle users were forced to use the sidewalk to get their way because of a very long and dense traffic jam. It is so pathetic and of course the pedestrians feel worried with this situation. We, as road users too, don’t want it happens continuously and want this traffic jam minimized by government policy. But first we also have to be discipline and always obey the rule if we want a regular flow of traffic. Rules are made to be obeyed not to be violated, and this applies to all.

For the above mentioned problems, the thing that needs to be improved is the management of transportation systems. For example, need to be augmented traffic signs and the addition of a bridge crossing for pedestrians. But that facilities could be in vain if not followed by the local community. Therefore, also required the existence of socialization orderly traffic for the whole community, and add police officers in congestion-prone places.
