On the sidewalks around Bundaran Senayan (on Sisingamangaraja) the sidewalks for people are often used by motorcycles to sneak to the front of the traffic jam. How would we ever guarantee that this bicycle lane will not be used by motorcyclists too??

How about we focus on upholding the laws & regulations, before thinking about providing services that the public will only use on the weekends....

it's look those street vendor will stay there and will not move their cart,even it's an official bicycle lane,hopefully they are not going to be there by next month.It would be a waste of money if the bikers can't use them properly because of them,please move away from the brand new facility find somewhere to park and selling food

From the picture it is already being used for exactly what it will end up being. A Parking lot for bikes, Kaki lima and cars.

Good going...... I am so glad the Rps 500 jt is being so well spent.

Its nice to know that I will be able to cycle in one of the most unsafe places regarding air pollution without fear of being hit by a motor cycle, car, bus..... NOT

I hope it works - but alas I suspect one should look at who supplied the paint and labour and how much they paid for it

This lane looks to me (according to the picture) like a parking lane for motor bikes - and I assume eventually it will end up as such quite soon! The excuse of the South Jakarta mayor that work has been slow sounds quite pulled along on the hair - I mean there are machines which are putting traffic lines on the asphalt, but it sounds just as someone is hand painting it with a 2 cm wide paint brush. My hometown in my old country has got bicycle lanes since a long time - what they actually did was widening the pedestrian walkway wherever possible and adding a line.

Well, as said, I guess it will end up in Jakarta as a dedicated lane for mobile food stalls and motor bikes - and of course never being repainted, so after a couple of years max. nobody will ever know that there was ever an attempt to provide bicycle lanes. And for that "construction" they used 500 Million Rupiah, raised by a private committee - that means that one meter of a painted double line (left and right did cost around Rp 300,000.
