Jakarta's peak hour traffic creates stress for both motorists and pedestrians, with sidewalks often misused by motorcycles and vendors, endangering those on foot. Alfred Sitorus, an avid cyclist and co-founder of the Jakarta Pedestrian Coalition, discusses efforts to protect pedestrian spaces.

Established in 2011, the coalition arose from the question, 'who does the sidewalk actually belong to?' Their goal is to return sidewalks to their rightful owners through campaigns like 'sidewalk sightseeing,' advocating for National Pedestrian Day, and conducting social audits to ensure public facility quality.
