(Jambi–Palembang) section from Pangkalan Balai Regional Government Complex intersection to Alang-Alang Lebar intersection on its condition almost perfect, but still slower due to vehicle speed limit adjust below 50 km/h, traffic congestion especially Talang Kelapa are still happened everyday due to never upgrade to dual-carriageway until Trans-Sumatra Toll Road (east) finished to handle and bad road design & quality are also hurt to drive. — Firzafp/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0
