The Jakarta Police have discovered and recorded at least 1,000 different locations with damaged roads that can potentially cause traffic accidents.
“We’re still counting the number, but we have already found at least 1,000 locations of damaged roads,” City Police deputy director for traffic Adj. Sr. Comr. Wahyono said in Jakarta on Monday as quoted by Antara.
He said the number of traffic accidents caused by damaged roads amounted to 152 cases between Nov. 28 and Dec. 11 alone, during which time the police held its Operation Zebra Jaya.
He said the police would “analyze” the results they produced from the operation together with the City Public Works Agency and the City Transportation Agency.
According to police data, there are 426 locations of damaged roads in West Jakarta, 264 in South Jakarta, 98 in East Jakarta, 63 in North Jakarta and 159 in Central Jakarta.
The city administration has continually patched potholes, instead of permanently repairing the roads. Damaged roads, coupled with reckless driving, have led to a number of fatalities.
