The roads in Makassar have the same challenges as those throughout most of Indonesia – traffic jams and occasional flooding. There are plans in place to improve traffic flow at the local level.
One such policy has been the introduction of restrictions of vehicles carrying heavy loads driving through the city centre.
In late 2013 a law was implemented that meant that between the hours of 05.00 – 21.00 containers can no longer be carried on trucks if they are going to be driving through the city limits.
Instead containers must be unpacked and re-loaded onto smaller vehicles.
There are plans in place to develop a ring road and additional by-pass’ to ease congestion, however there is currently no timeline of when construction will commence.
