Gridlock in Jakarta ?

Jakarta currently has 7,650 meters of road with a growth rate of 0.01% compared to the motor vehicle growth rate of 0.26%.  Jakarta Police have predicted that the number of motor vehicles operating in Jakarta will reach a new record of 12 million by 2011. Currently Jakarta has 11.3 million vehicles, of which 8.2 million are motorcycles.

Having a torrential downpour can almost be a good thing, as when it rains that hard, the number of motorcycles on the streets of Jakarta becomes nearly nil, giving a most welcomed breathing space or room in traffic and on the streets of Jakarta.
