Jakarta –
When crossing the toll road, of course there are some things that must be avoided. Drivers are also required to obey the existing rules. This is all done to prevent unwanted things from happening. Citing the Jasa Marga website, there are at least three main things that should not be done when driving on toll roads.
First avoid being a Lane Hogger rider. Lane Hogger means the rider is traveling at a static speed but is in the fast lane. Lane Hogger is often found on toll roads. Regardless of other road users, the lane hogger rider continues to walk slowly in the fast lane even though the front is empty.
This is certainly annoying. Riders behind with a higher speed are difficult to overtake. As a result, they look for an opening by overtaking from the left. In fact, to overtake other vehicles, use the right lane. This lane hogger action is still common, but unfortunately there has been no action that has deterred motorists.
The second thing you shouldn’t be doing on the freeway is speeding outside or below the limit. Especially for freeways, the lowest speed limit is set with an absolute limit of 60 km/hour in free flow conditions and a maximum of 100 km/hour. The determination of the speed limit is not arbitrary, but has taken into account various factors such as the frequency of accidents, fatalities, road surface conditions, as well as community suggestions.
Meanwhile, for driving on inner-city toll roads, the minimum speed is 60 km/hour and the maximum speed is 80 km/hour. Meanwhile, on toll roads outside the city, the minimum limit is 60 km/hour and a maximum of 100 km/hour.
Lastly, thirdly, don’t ignore the presence of rest areas on toll roads. Use the rest area for you to rest on the sidelines of the trip. Fatigue is one of the causes of accidents that is often overlooked by motorists.
Do not force driving, immediately rest in the rest area if you have been driving for a maximum of 3 hours. When the body is fresher, then you can return to continue the journey.
