Magelang Regency –
The Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) emphasized may (big motorbikes) cannot enter the toll road. Basuki’s statement was in response to the Big Motor Club Indonesia Community (MBCI) requesting that motorbikes be allowed to cross the toll road.
Basuki explained several reasons why motorbikes were not allowed to enter the toll road. Firstregarding toll road regulations that do not allow motorcycles to enter the toll road
“For moge, bro, there is a road law, there is a toll road PP. If that wants to be allowed, the regulations must be changed first. As long as the regulations have not been changed, he is not allowed because we violated the law and PP,” Basuki told reporters on the sidelines of inaugurating Sabo Menayu Dam in Muntilan District, Magelang Regency, quoted from detikJateng Saturday (21/1/2023).
Secondthe risk of accidents is quite large when motorbikes pass at speeds that are usually high
“This is still being debated continuously because it concerns security, discipline. Now, let’s see, what kind of accident was the toll road? It was hit by a road truck, so if it’s big, it’s a truck with a speed of 40 km per hour, this Avanza is 120 km per hour, if it’s big, ,” continued Basuki.
Third, different regulations in Indonesia and abroad. Overseas, said Basuki, motorbikes can pass on toll roads because one motorbike is considered one car. In addition, when overtaking, you have to change lanes.
“Overseas one motorbike, one car. So he can’t anymore, for example two motorbikes like this are not allowed, so if there are two lines like that, there are motorbikes here, if he overtakes he can’t be in the same line, he has to move “Things like that that haven’t been (understood) maybe by our behavior, maybe later in time when there is discipline, maybe you can, but with regulations, if at this time maybe not,” he said.
Previously, the Indonesian Big Motor Club Community (MBCI) requested that big motorbikes (moge) be able to cross the toll road. This was revealed by the President of the Big Motor Club Indonesia (MBCI) Irianto Ibrahim.
Quoted from detikOto, President of the Big Motor Club Indonesia (MBCI) Irianto Ibrahim said that motorbike owners had paid tens of millions of taxes to the government in one year. With the amount of this tax, it is hoped that pemoge will be given priority.
“We already pay tens of millions of taxes to the government a year, how come we (don’t) give priority, just turn on the bicycles (build lanes), to spend tens of billions of budget (the government) really wants,” said Irianto Wednesday (18/1/2023) .
