Toll roads in Indonesia are not safe? 1. Road pavement is made of rigid pavement, namely cemented concrete. Cement Concrete Pavement does not have *Skid Resistance* or small skid resistance. Skid resistance is the grip of the tire with the pavement surface. Because skid resistance is small or even zero, so when the car is traveling at high speed and braking, the car does not stop immediately because there is no adequate traction between the tires and the pavement surface. The car will slide quite far before it stops, so it is often heard that the car hits a truck or other car in front of it. Note: *Concrete roads are not roads for high speed!* So it is wrong to build a toll road with rigid pavement 2. In the middle of the toll road, there is a thick and sturdy concrete wall barrier. As a result, if a car skidded or the steering wheel turned, it would hit a concrete wall and because of the high speed, the consequences would be fatal, as experienced by the VA car and also the faculty lecturer. UNDIP Civil Engineering some time ago. Toll roads that are safe in the middle (median) must be grass with a width of min. 2 x 5 meters with a slope of 5%. (Like the Jagorawi Toll Road at the beginning). Thus, if there is a sleepy driver or the car has a tire burst, the car does not hit a concrete wall, but slides over the sloping grass and finally stops safely. *Once again remember!! Toll roads in Indonesia are unsafe roads especially for high speeds.* Obey speed limit signs. Don't be proud to be able to take 3.5 hours from Semarang to Surabaya. But be proud to be able to bring your family safely from Semarang to Surabaya even though it takes more than 4.5 hours. #Noisecash #life #Randomthoughts
