traffic. This practice should not be allowed. Buses should stop 30 meters ahead where a
third lane is available
So at this place only two lanes are available on the corridor. This is practically the same
traffic that uses the 5 lanes theoretically available from this point to Cempaka Mas.
As calculated before, the traffic volume, by considering future increase, will require a
width of 11.0 meters. Field analysis indicates that the present volume passes normally in
3 lanes and sometimes just in two lanes.
In our meetings with the busway team, the team’s justification presented for 5 lanes is
based on an effort to preserve the local lanes for local traffic, that in practice means
preserving the local lanes for parking and stopping vehicles. This means Jakarta would
be cutting trees to preserve existing parking practices on the corridor.
VI.4.d. Segment Galur Flyover to Senen
For this segment the busway project will have two bus stops:
Galur: located 100 meters after (to the west) Galur flyover. The existing plan proposed
by the busway team seems appropriate.
Senen: Located between Senen flyover intersection and the approach of the Senen tunnel
which is under construction. ITDP has not seen the design of this bus stop, so there is no
comment on it.
VI. 5. Specific Recommendations for Intersections in Corridor II
VI.5.a. Senen intersection
Presently there is a four-phase signalized intersection.
Future design of this intersection depends on the BRT itinerary from Senen to the West
which is not yet decided by the government.
