TOP TIPS TO BEAT THE "MACET" IN JAKARTA.

After 3 years of riding my Honda Supra 🛵 around Jakarta, here are my top tips for getting around the Big Durian by motorbike - either as a passenger or riding yourself.

*Macet = Traffic jams / congestion

1) Learn essential traffic phrases and expressions

The most important words you need to learn are:

Left = Kiri
Right = Kanan
Straight ahead = Lurus
U-Turn = Putar balik

I cannot over emphasise the importance of the phrase "Putar balik".
2) Traffic lights

When approaching a junction with traffic lights the rules are simple:

• When the lights are red you must stop and wait.
• Unless you are turning left - then it's okay.
• Although sometimes it's not.

Hope that's clear.
