Jasa Raharja-Korlantas Urge End to Wrong-Way Driving, Foster Traffic Safety Culture

In Indonesia, the Public Vehicle Insurance Company (Jasa Raharja) and the National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) are jointly urging the public to eradicate wrong-way driving and foster a culture of traffic safety. This initiative prioritizes the elimination of serious traffic accidents caused by wrong-way driving, emphasizing the importance of each citizen adhering to road traffic rules and etiquette. Jasa Raharja, primarily responsible for compensating accident victims, is also focusing on preventive awareness campaigns. Korlantas strives to maintain a safe road environment through the enforcement of traffic laws, recognizing that a voluntary change in public awareness is essential to combat dangerous driving behaviors like going the wrong way. This joint campaign aims to strengthen message dissemination to a broader segment of the population by leveraging the cooperation between the two organizations. While Indonesia's transportation infrastructure has developed rapidly in recent years, challenges remain, including an increase in the number of vehicles, driver behavior, and understanding of traffic rules. Particularly in urban areas, traffic congestion is a constant issue, and reckless driving by some individuals frequently leads to accidents. Wrong-way driving is considered extremely dangerous due to its high potential to cause head-on collisions. Through this campaign, both organizations hope to raise awareness about the dangers of wrong-way driving and encourage a spirit of mutual consideration and compassionate driving, ultimately embedding a safe traffic culture throughout Indonesia. Changes in individual awareness and behavior are expected to contribute to a reduction in traffic accidents. Source: Sindonews
