Traffic in My City

Traffic in My City

I live in one of the biggest city in Indonesia, Surabaya is place in the East Java Province. If we talk about Surabaya is identical with the hot city and also crowded city. Moreover Surabaya has many problems about traffic it specially land traffic. A year ago, one of the traffic expert release his reasearch, he tell "If not any significant build traffic accomodation in five years, Surabaya will be like Jakarta right now". In addition streets in Surabaya have traffic jump especially at 07.00 to 17.00.

The causes heavy traffic jump in Surabaya is follows: only one main road in the down town which connecting Sidoarjo City in the Southern and Tanjung Perak in the Northern, the other problem is so many private car because Government can't provide public transportation like Tran Jakarta in Jakarta city, and the other problem is the highway cannot accommodate a great number of vehicle anymore or the other words is "the highway is to narrow".

Few solve to overcome the traffic problems in Surabaya may be consider, first build the other highway to connect between Sidoarjo to Tanjung Perak via Eastern of Surabaya, we may call "Eastern Ring Road", the second is build highway in the center of city, then build special transportation with bus and bus way we may call "Trans Surabaya", and the other solution is optimize co mutters train.

Finally, the conclusion of this writing is government much take measure to out from traffic problem, the solutions is: build new highway, build and optimize public transportation.
