Watch: Bule steps in as Ubud traffic cop, directing traffic at busy intersection

If you want to get something done, best do it yourself. 

That seems to be the reasoning of one foreigner in Ubud, who was seen directing traffic at a macet Ubud intersection, which appears to be on the corner of Jl. Raya Ubud and Jl. Bisma.

A Facebook post commending the bule for his initiative in addressing Ubud’s congestion was posted to Facebook under the account Dewa D’Bali on August 22 and has since gotten over 4,000 shares as of writing time. 

“Great jobs [sic] sir,” the post compliments, adding “you look much better than our police.” Hmm, wonder how Ubud police would feel about that comment.

It’s not totally clear whether the man seen in the video is a tourist or expat, but he seems to have really found his place in Ubud society.
