Jakarta needs to rein in its motorcyclists, many of whom drive against traffic flow or even sometimes opt for the pavement. But the latest bizarre trend among two-wheelers has gone too far: stopping mid-traffic to take selfies, leading to pile-ups and traffic jams while they get their picture. Now the city has had to stipulate a ban on motorcycles on one of its newest roads and we can expect similar laws to follow as Jakarta looks to bring some order back to its streets. The motorcycle-free, two-storey, cloverleaf-shaped Semanggi Interchange linking the city’s popular neighbourhoods may symbolise some headway in the city’s efforts to improve its notoriously clogged transportation networks. But changing road culture is the next step to keep citizens moving; there are already activist groups, calling themselves “footpath warriors”, that pound the city’s pavements in defence of the right to walk safely.
