Denpasar to host car-free day in more areas

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta, Thursday, April 15, 2010 - Denpasar Transportation Agency said it plans to expand areas hosting car-free days to a number of places, including former Badung office complex in Lumintang.

Since August 2009, Denpasar municipality has enforced a car-free day every Sunday in Renon in downtown Denpasar.

The city administration also developed special bicycle lanes along major streets on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman and Jl. Hang Tuah near the Sanur resort area.

The car-free day policy was implemented to reduce air and noise pollution in Denpasar, key issues that the city is struggling with. - JP
