Unconsciously, the Levee of the Road Can Kill You
Perhaps you do not realize when walking using a motor vehicle, on the street of the community settlements installed many road embankments or ribbons (speed trap) in the road body.
Community intentions are nothing else, just to slow the pace of the vehicle. But the road embankment really has swallowed human life and injured the driver due to fall from the top of the vehicle, especially two-wheeled vehicles.
While many four-wheeled vehicles are damaged. such as car body blisters, broken axles, tires erupted and passengers fell from the top of the car.
In addition, the road body in the dike area will be quickly damaged. Because before climbing the pile of embankment, then the tire pressure will be full to the road body. Then the asphalt road will quickly break.
However, in Indonesia, the government and many people do not understand the bad impacts of the road embankment. In every road, with close range has been installed dozens of dikes.
Mirisnya, the dike is not painted black white warha, red white, yellow and black or other bright colors. Most embankments are made of cement and sand, so the color is like a road body.
Because there is no color differentiation, then this is where the driver is often not noticed that in front of there is a high dike ready to sacrifice himself.
The Ministry of Communications has already issued the regulation. Where the embankment may be installed, ie common diareal. Like in front of school, house of worship, market and other public place.
Then the height of the embankment is about 11 centimeters and the embankment can be installed on a residential street with a width of about 2 meters.
But seen the embankment installation of residential area there is no rule. The 6-meter wide road also has embankments installed.
While government officials who are authorized also do not understand the rules that have been made by the ministry of transportation.
So not a few officials, children officials and family officials who are victims of accidents due to hit the embankment.
In Indonesia, out of 34 provinces, only one province already has a Regional Regulation (Perda) to control road embankment installation, namely DKI Jakarta Province.
While 33 other provinces, still do not understand, either do not care about the existence of the embankment.
So that along the residential roads of people in Indonesia have been waiting by the embankments ready to hit the passing riders.
It is expected that government officials should be sensitive to the case. Through your position, authority and power, please tertipkan every embankment that is not according to the rules.
So your child, wife, family and relatives are safe in driving on the road.

Tidak Disadari, Tanggul Jalan Bisa Membunuh Mu
Mungkin tidak anda sadari saat berjalan menggunakan kendaraan bermotor, di jalan pemukiman masyarakat banyak dipasang tanggul jalan atau pita penggaduh (speed trap) di badan jalan.
Niat masyarakat tidak lain, hanya untuk memperlambat laju kendaraan. Namun sejatinya tanggul jalan sudah banyak menelan nyawa manusia dan menciderai pengendara akibat terjatuh dari atas kendaraan, khususnya kendaraan roda dua.
Sementara kendaraan roda empat sudah banyak yang rusak. seperti bodi mobil lecet, patah sumbu roda, ban meletus dan penumpang terjatuh dari atas mobil.
Selain itu, badan jalan di area tanggul akan cepat rusak. Sebab sebelum menaiki tumpukan tanggul, maka tekanan ban akan full ke badan jalan. Maka aspal jalan akan cepat pecah.
Namun di Indonesia, pemerintah maupun masyarakat banyak tidak mengerti dampak buruk atas tanggul jalan. Disetiap jalan, dengan jarak dekat sudah dipasang puluhan tanggul.
Mirisnya, tanggul tesebut tidak dicat warha putih hitam, merah putih, kuning hitam dan atau warna terang lainya. Kebanyakan tanggul dibuat berbahan semen dan pasir, sehingga warnanya sudah menyerupai badan jalan.
Karena tidak ada pembeda warna, maka disinilah pengendara sering tidak terperhatikan bahwa didepannya ada tanggul tinggi yang siap mengorbankan dirinya.
Kementrian Perhubungan sudah pernah mengeluarkan aturan tersebut. Dimana tanggul jalan boleh dipasang, yaitu diareal umum. Seperti didepan sekolah, rumah ibadah, pasar dan tempat umum lainnya.
Kemudian tinggi tanggul sekitar 11 centimeter dan tanggul boleh dipasang di jalan pemukiman dengan lebar sekitar 2 meter.
Tetapi dilihat pemasangan tanggul dikawasan pemukiman tidak ada aturan. Jalan lebar 6 meter juga dipasang tanggul.
Sementara pejabat pemerintah yang berwenang juga tidak mengerti tentang aturan yang sudah dibuat oleh kementrian perhubungan.
Maka tidak sedikit pejabat, anak pejabat maupun keluarga pejabat ini yang menjadi korban kecelakaan akibat menabrak tanggul.
Di Indonesia, dari 34 provinsi yang ada, baru satu provinsi yang sudah memiliki Peraturan Daerah (Perda) penertiban pemasangan tanggul jalan, yaitu Provinsi DKI Jakarta.
Sementara 33 provinsi lain, masih belum mengerti, entah tidak peduli dengan keberadaan tanggul tersebut.
Sehingga sepanjang jalan pemukiman masyarakat di Indonesia sudah ditunggui oleh tanggul-tanggul yang siap menerjang pengendara yang lewat.
Diharapkan, kepada pejabat pemerintah agar peka melihat kasus ini. Melalui jabatan, wewenang dan power anda, silahkan tertipkan setiap tanggul jalan yang tidak sesuai aturan.
Supaya anak, istri, keluarga dan sanak saudara anda aman dalam berkendaraan di jalan. ***
