Don't Forget, The Police Still Apply Odd-even On The Puncak Lane

CIANJUR - Cianjur Police, West Java, is still implementing odd-even lines along the Puncak route, as an effort to suppress vehicle mobility, especially on weekends.

"Currently, the status of Cianjur PPKM (Community Activity Restrictions) is level III, so odd-even is still applied, especially on weekends. It has been the last two months that the implementation has been carried out and motorists from outside the city have begun to obey", said the Head of Traffic at Cianjur Police, AKP Mangku Anom, quoted by Antara, Thursday, October 21.

Until now, his party has not been able to confirm when the odd-even rule will end along the Bogor-Puncak route. However, after the PPKM level I is implemented, it will evaluate the policies and how the officers work so that various allowances will be applied or odd-even is maintained.

So far, said AKP Mangku Anom, the odd-even application has been maximal in suppressing the mobility of vehicles from outside the city. In fact, its implementation has been understood and obeyed by motorists from outside or within the city, so that when an even number is applied on weekends, there are no odd-numbered vehicles or vice versa.

"We continue to urge that as various concessions are given, the pandemic is still ongoing, so motorists must continue to apply the procedures and obey the odd-even rules along the Puncak route", he said.

Meanwhile, the Regent of Cianjur, Herman Suherman, said that his party would evaluate together with Forkopimda Cianjur regarding the odd-even implementation on the Puncak Route which during the implementation of PPKM level III was considered effective to suppress vehicle mobility, especially from outside the city, which motorists had begun to obey.

"When we enter the first level, we will discuss it together because the local government's target is definitely to focus on economic recovery, where the number of visits can increase so that the wheels of the economy will run again. But so far, the odd-even implementation has been the solution to traffic jams on the Puncak road", he said.
