Kujang Monument or called as Tugu Kujang is an important monument for the Bogor city which acts as a landmark roundabout and the main face enters downtown Bogor. Existing condition surrounded by primary collector road (40km/hour) which connects the terminal Baranangsiang, Bogor Botanical Gardens, and commercial areas around the Bogor city area. These result in high volume driving which is not pedestrian friendly. The aim of this project is to improve the function and the convenience of the cleaver monument roundabout that focuses from the aspect of social use, monumental/celebratory and friendly traffic (speed reduction). These functions are to achieve a landmark design and a streets that puts people first.
