These data are based on perceptions of visitors of this website in the past 3 years.
Jakarta probably has the worst traffic on a global basis. The average traffic speed is 6 km/hr. This is mainly due to the sheer volume of traffic on the road, total lack of spatial planning, a complete disregard of traffic regulations and a total lack of law enforcement. There is no proper driver training and driving licenses are purchased, without a test. The inhabitants know how to operate vehicles but do not know how to drive.

If you have to work in Jakarta, I advise you to live near your office by any means necessary. Either renting an apartment/room or mortgage an apartment as houses in central Jakarta is exorbitantly high in price.
It is just not worth to travel long distances and hours, thus spending quite a lot of your life to commute. It is mentally and physically exhausting and literally kills you slowly due to heavy stress (I'm not exaggerating).

I am leaving Jakarta because of the horrible traffic here. As it is an overcrowded city with not much urban planning (according to an online article: 10 Worst designed cities in the world) Traffic is chaotic every day except maybe Sunday mornings. Drivers seem pushy and rude, I have experienced deadlocks at intersections, when people simply do not respect the traffic light and they simply block the street in every direction. Motorbikes go against the traffic flow on a daily basis. Many people disrespect the traffic law and they DO go through red lights without blinking an eye! There are no sidewalks. You WILL BE stuck in traffic on many days for many hours. Many streets are in bad shape, really noisy, crowded and quite dirty. And yes, I agree with #PKI, you can see it in the news that rich people do get away with murder.

hello, I'm just wondering if BRT or Transjakarta has a great impact in reducing the traffic situation in your city. I heard about Transjakarta and it helps to move people in an organized way. But today Feb 2, 2015 I read/see on the news that Jakarta is the no. 1 worst traffic in the world. PLease enlighten me about this matter?
