Only At These Hours Can Vehicles Pass The West Cikarang GT

JAKARTA - The police are implementing an open-close scheme in West Cikarang GT. In this scheme only at certain hours the vehicle can pass.

"We open and close in the morning and evening around 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. WIB," said the Head of the Highway Patrol Unit (PJR) of the Metro Jaya Police Traffic Commission, Commissioner Akmal, to VOI, Thursday, May 6.

However, not all vehicles can pass. Only buses and workers' vehicles are allowed to pass. This scheme was implemented in the aftermath of protests from those who could not work due to the closure of GT Cikarang Barat.

For vehicles other than workers, continued Akmal, it would be strictly inspected. If they are not equipped with conditions such as an Entry and Exit Permit (SIKM) and the results of the antigen swab, the drivers will be turned back.

"We will still check for other vehicles. We think we will apply the current regulations," he said.

For information, as many as 1,070 vehicles were asked to make a U-turn from 00.00 to 12.00 WIB on Thursday, May 6. This number is likely to increase because this isolation operation lasts for 12 days.

For details, the thousands of vehicles consist of 895 private vehicles and 175 public vehicles. The drivers were prosecuted from the Cikupa and West Cikarang Toll Gates.

With details for GT Cikupa there are 626 vehicles. For private vehicles, about 519 and 77 public transportation. Meanwhile, for West Cikarang GT there are 444 vehicles consisting of 346 private vehicles and 98 public vehicles.

In this homecoming prohibition operation, at least 4,276 personnel were deployed. They are alerted at 14 isolation points and 17 check points.
