Indonesian tollroads/national roads

[gibranalnn]

This will be the thread for Indonesian road network (toll freeways, national/regional routes).

I know that Indonesia has over 100000 people in the center of the main island, but not much on the edges. Why is this?

Flooding/typhoons/tsunamis?

[hotdogPi]

I meant 100 million, not 100 thousand... (I realized this just now.)

Java contains 143 million people on the size of the state of Arkansas.

Fact: highways/national roads in Indonesia do not have exits, they only have intersections. Even median-divided highway/national road do NOT have exits!!!

I'm confused by the above.

On Google Maps I see plenty of interchanges around Jakarta on (for example) the inner ring road. (I've never been to Java in person.) Do you mean the term intersection is used instead of exit for an interchange?

[gibranalnn]

FYI, the inner ring road is the tolled 'express lanes' that circles the conventional roads around the inner ring roads here in Jakarta. The 'local lanes' are non-tolled (ex. the outskirts of the inner ringroad, which is Jalan MT Haryono, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jalan Latumemten and the N1/National Route 1 Jalan Jakarta By-pass). If you want to know about expressways/Jalan Tol in Indonesia ask a YouTuber called "Thinknoodles" or simply PM SignGeek101 or me. (Thinknoodles once moved to Indonesia but moved back to CA when he was at 10th-grade highschool. In Indonesia highschool started at 10th grade. Sorry OOT)

No, I didnt mean that. The term intersection here means a non-freeway junction (like non-divided US Highways/Routes), but the term interchange means a freeway-to-freeway junction. Also you must know 'onramp' which is Interstate Highway entrance on the US and 'offramp' which is an exit on Interstate Highways/some US divided route freeway. The term divided highway here means a highway with dual carriageways.

And that's the reason the inner ring road and the outer ring road was called "Jalan Tol Lingkar Dalam" and "Jalantol Lingkarluar Jakarta" in Indonesian.

^^ the above was shot at the Jakarta Outerring Tollroad/outer ring road. The outer ring road itself was a toll road/expressway.

There's some pretty big bridges on Jalan Trans Kalimantan between Banjarmasin and Palangkaraya, not just the massive Barito Bridge, though that is the biggest:


Jembatan Kahayan is also big and beautiful (the other long bridges aren't lookers)

Here's some pictures of the Purbaleunyi tolled freeway: (it used to have yellow median markings like Interstate Highways but they turned it into white like motorways in UK)




^^ Still use yellow median markings


^^ Exit 76. A typical exit direction BGS in Indonesia


^^ Newer BGS. Still use old regulations


^^ Back to white




^^ New BGS


^^ Blue Highway or Clearview?

Doesn't look Clearview to me. Definitely not FHWA.

If you see a Clearview sign, please take a pic.

As requested by SignGeek101, here's a Clearview sign at Bandung:



Below the Pasupati Skyway and major parts at Bandung, I saw Clearview signs.

Looks like Clearview to me.

It is Clearview. I just ran my font comparison test and found it to be a practically perfect match to Clearview 5-B.

[SignGeek101]

It is Clearview. I just ran my font comparison test and found it to be a practically perfect match to Clearview 5-W.

Clearview 5W is only for positive contrast, is it not? But I guess it doesn't really matter in the end. Below is 5B.

[Zeffy]

Oops, I meant 5-B. I knew something wasn't right when I typed that...

[gibranalnn]

Yesterday I headed to Waterbom Jakarta via Airport toll road, and I saw a clearview sign.

[gibranalnn]

DYK that long-distance tollroads in Indonesia uses closed toll system? And they do not use paper tickets. Alternatively they use card tickets, and if you lose it then you must pay the toll 2x the longest exit on the toll road.

[gibranalnn]

Notice the Clearview blue sign by clicking on the photo and zoom in

Yes, Indonesia have officially switched over from FHWA's to Clearview as official practise.

Clearview signs have also been spotted in the Philippines.

FYI, it is I who originally wrote that wiki article!

Clearview signs have also been spotted in the Philippines

Except on their expressways
