Upgrade and maintenance work for 11,578km of strategic non-national roads in Indonesia may receive funding from the country's Public Works Ministry. No specific budget allocation will be set aside for the strategic non-national roads. However, Indonesia's central government could provide funding for the development of these roads where improvements are seen as a necessity. The government has already allocated US$ 3.3 billion under the national budget to finance the 38,569.82km national roads. Meanwhile $143.5 million has been set aside by the Indonesian Public Works Ministry for the Java Island's North Coast roads in the country. The sum will be used for maintenance, widening and improvement of the 1,412km Java's North Coast roads. The conditions of these roads, which cover five provinces, will be upgraded to improve traffic flow.

Road networks are crucial to economic development as well as political stability, which often go hand in hand.

    The joint proposal by 3F, the Danish trade union for the transport sector, and think-tank Kraka to replace vehicle registration fees with a GPS-based road user charging system is worth noting. According to 3F and Kraka, this would reduce congestion on Danish roads and generate savings worth €536 million (DKK 4 billion) for the nation’s finances. There is nothing new in this concept as such. Road user charging was proposed a few years ago for the UK and also for the Netherlands. But in the UK this proposal p
