Overcome Traffic Jams On The Southern Route, Bandung Police, Divert Traffic In Nagreg

BANDUNG - Bandung Police have five times diverted the flow of traffic at Simpang Nagreg, Bandung Regency, West Java, to overcome traffic jams for travelers on the southern route, until Saturday or D-2 Eid 2022.

Nagreg Police Chief AKP Hima Rawalasi Pratama said that on D-2, vehicles from west to east had increased. Density in the Nagreg area has also occurred since Friday, April 28 or D-3.

"We will divert it to Kadungora, Garut, if Limbangan is too heavy for the route," Hima said, quoted by Antara, Saturday, April 30.

According to him, current diversion is carried out situationally based on conditions in the south lane at the next point in the east. Like at the Limbangan point, Malangbong, and the next point.

He explained that the flow diversion scheme at Simpang Nagreg, namely vehicles from the direction of Bandung or Jakarta, would be diverted to the Kadungora area if the homecoming flow in the Limbangan area was overcrowded.

Vice versa, according to him, the current will continue to flow towards Limbangan if Kadungora has experienced congestion.

"So we'll see which ones can accommodate vehicles like that, while we wait for information from the Garut Police," he said.

The current transfer has been carried out several times since D-3. On that day, the current conditions experienced a density from afternoon to night.

Meanwhile on D-2, the density has occurred since morning. However, the conditions fluctuated starting from smooth, then solid again.
