The implementation of the policy for closing roads and diverting traffic flows, he said, the legal basis is the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs on the Implementation of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) and the Bogor Mayor's Regulation on PPKM.
"This policy is not aimed at smooth traffic flow, but to reduce community mobility and avoid crowds, to prevent the spread of COVID-19", said Susatyo who is also deputy head of the Bogor City COVID-19 Handling Task Force.
In this policy of closing roads and diverting traffic flow, there are vehicles in emergency conditions that are excluded, namely, ambulances, fire fighting vehicles, official vehicles, and online vehicles.
Susatyo added that in implementing this policy, motor vehicles and traffic diversion have been tested on H Juanda Street in the Bogor Botanical Gardens circle, on Tuesday, June 29 evening.
At that time, the Bogor City COVID-19 Task Force sent a joint team from the Police and the Bogor City Transportation Service by installing road markings on blocked roads, and diverting traffic to alternative roads.
