 Braga Street begins on a T-junction with Asia-Afrika Street (formerly "De Groote Postweg"), running north until the city council ("balaikota").The first name of the street was "Karreweg".The city residents dubbed it "Pedatiweg", from the Indonesian language of horse-drawn carriages ("pedati"), because it was a narrow street (about 10 m or 30 feet wide) that only carriages could pass through.
