Raya Pejaten and Pedestrian

Friday afternoon, January 15, 2010, without pre-planned suddenly arose the desire to walking enjoy the atmosphere in the area Pejaten, precisely on Jalan Raya Pejaten. To get to this area can be reached by public transport buses Transjakarta, Kuningan route to Ragunan and get off at bus stop Pejaten, and then from there we are a short walk to enter the Raya Pejaten streets

As usual, because the location of bus stops in the median of the road to reach the side of the road we can walk through the ramp that is connected to the bridge crossing. Arriving at the side of street we just a short walk to the south along the existing sidewalk to the intersection and like other sidewalks in many places in Jakarta, the sidewalks here are not too wide. At the end of the intersection, just across the left-hand corner of the way looks the building Pejaten Mall dominated by red color. This sidewalk turned left and ended at a bridge where there is a small stream below. This is the end of the pavement marker that we have reached the end of the Pejaten Raya streets.

Furthermore because there is no longer the sidewalk so pedestrians can continue his journey by a paved road or on land where trees are planted beetween a roadblock and small sewers in the local construction fence. Really nice walk in here, because we are protected from the sun by a row of large trees and shade-grown starting line up at a certain distance of a majority of the side of the road. But quite dangerous because it could be any time we are harmed by a passing vehicle hit there.

As for walking on our land can not be too comfortable, because there are trunks of trees planted there, and lined on the ground that it functioned for the planting of shade trees are also useful as an amplifier of lung local area. So pretty pedestrian inconvenience and not comfortably to walk in this environment. This is exacerbated by the placement of the stone marker pal areas as we looks at the bus stop located there. Pal bookmark this region is placed without good planning, so the more disturbing for the convenience of pedestrians, especially near the shelter was also made fence that increasingly narrow pedestrian area. How pedestrians through there? (See photo)
Citizen initiative closed sewers with concrete can inspire for creating path for pedestrians, except for the difference in height with an exit vehicle still needs to be adjusted so as not to interfere with the comfort of both.

If local governments can take the initiative to provide cover sewers (drains) are there on the edge of the road, so pedestrians would feel safer and more secure safety walking in this area. Of course this does not need to cover the full casted on the sewers, but with enough concrete with a certain width and length so that at times can still be opened if you want to carry out cleaning sewers, as we can meet at some location in this way made by local building owners.

Shelter areas also need to set back, especially in terms of placement and guardrail markers pal region so users can enjoy the city's facilities have been provided. The court could stop a little widened to pal region marker can be shifted and placed there, so people can walk more freely. As for the fence, what should a fence be placed there?

Local governments and city governments in Indonesia need to change this condition, with more to promote security, safety, and comfort of road users, not only for drivers of vehicles but also for pedestrians. Implementation could be done at once or gradually adapted to the financial condition of each area. Which if implemented in a gradual implementation schedule should be determined and achievement targets, for example, this year held for the left side of road 100 meters, 100 meters next year again, so to complete. People happy, the government was pleased.

The journey came to an end after reaching the destination, on campus Next Academy. The lesson this time that can be learned is that apparently for walking on the road this Raya Pejaten extra courage huh!
