About Driving in Indonesia
Indonesian roads can vary from city to city, and island to island in terms of quality. This can range from the wide avenues ofJakartaand the high-speed toll roads ofJava, to the narrow two-lanes on the other islands. Indonesia drives to the left, like its neighborsMalaysiaandSingapore, but different from thePhilippineswhich drives to the right. As with most of Southeast Asia, there is a strong car culture in Indonesia, but the most common private vehicle is the motorcycle. Most Indonesian families own at least one motorcycle. Atrocious driving is fairly the norm across Indonesia, with illegal passing, speeding, and dangerous lane changes being fairly common. Motorcyclists are fairly notorious for weaving through traffic and turning at speed, and pedestrian crossings are rarely respected. C
