Jakarta – Directorate Traffic (Ditlantas) Polda Metro Jaya plans to install electronic traffic law enforcement or ETLE cameras on the Kasablanka Non-Toll Flyover (JLNT), South Jakarta. The purpose of installing ETLE cameras is to follow up on the rise of motorcyclists using the road for speeding.
Polda Metro Jaya Traffic Director (Dirlantas) Kombes Pol Latif Usman said that the ETLE cameras are targeted to be installed in the next three to four months.
“Hopefully it will be installed this year. Maybe in three to four months it will be installed for enforcement,” Latif told reporters, Monday, (10/7).
As is known, a video of a motorbike driver speeding at JLNT Casablanca was circulating on social media and went viral. One of these videos was uploaded to the Instagram account @lensa_berita_jakarta.
In the video, the perpetrator can be seen riding his motorcycle at speeds reaching 173 KM/hour.
This incident is not the first time this has happened. Based on the records of topikonline.co.id, at least two motorbike riders have died at JLNT Casablanca, which was allegedly started by speeding.
The first accident occurred on May 7, 2023. A motorcyclist with the initials D (21) died after being involved in a single accident.
Second, it happened on June 27 2023. A young man with the initial SA fell and was run over while riding a motorcycle.
Actually, motorcyclists are prohibited from entering JLNT Kasablanka. The reason is because it is dangerous considering the height of the road building makes motorbikes easily sway when blown by the wind.
Even so, the fact is that until now there are still many motorcyclists who cross JLNT Kasablanka. This can happen because it is not every day that police are assigned to guard the downstream and upstream of JLNT Kasablanka.
In fact, the prohibition for motorbike riders to cross JLNT legally has also been regulated in Article 287 paragraphs 1 and 2 of Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation (LLAJ). Violators can be sentenced to two months in prison or a fine of Rp500 million. Bembo
