DAMAGED ROADS
The
number of damaged roads linking Jakarta with West Java has certainly
provoked complaints from locals and roads users. Take for an example,
the roads in Bekasi and Tangerang, which have been the focus of the
media.
The
poor condition of these roads not only jeopardizes road safety, but
also gives a squalid impression. Moreover, the condition will get worse
when it rains. The roads are transformed into water pools or puddles,
which can easily cause accidents if motorist are not careful.
No
wonder if some people question why there are so many damaged roads and
why repairs do not seem to last long. The government should pay special
attention to these problems.
In
my opinion, the roads should be repaired using the right sort of
asphalt, stones, and sand. Repairs should be done carefully so that the
roads can be prevented from constant damage. Otherwise, the repairs
would be useless.
