JAKARTA The Resort Police (Polres) of Cianjur, West Java, implemented a number of traffic flow engineering, including a one-way system, to anticipate total congestion during the peak return flow of the long holidays of Isra Mikraj and Imlek 2025.

Kasatlantas Cianjur Police, AKP Anjar Maulana, stated that the one-way system to Bogor was implemented on Wednesday afternoon, January 29 due to the increase in the volume of vehicles in Bogor's jurisdiction which caused long queues to reach Puncak Pass-Cianjur.

"We apply the one-way system or one-way to Bogor from Cianjur because the volume of vehicles in Bogor's jurisdiction has begun to extend to the Cianjur jurisdiction, to be precise the tail of the queue to Puncak Pass," said AKP Anjar in Cianjur, Wednesday, January 29.

To avoid total congestion due to longer queues, a one-way system is implemented for more than two hours until the queue melts. Traffic is reopened normally from both directions in the evening.

As of Wednesday evening, traffic flow was still smooth. However, the one-way system is expected to be re-implemented towards the evening as the volume of vehicles returns to their respective hometowns.

"Situationally, when there is a queue with a delay rate, a one-way system is re-implemented to avoid total traffic jams along the Puncak route. At this time we are still coordinating with the Bogor Police regarding the density of traffic flow in the area," he added.

Along with the peak return flow for the long holidays of Isra Mikraj and Chinese New Year 2025, AKP Anjar reminded motorists to increase vigilance. The weather in the Puncak area is expected to rain accompanied by thick fog from morning to evening, which has the potential to disrupt the visibility of motorists.

"Officers are on alert, in addition to regulating traffic, they also urge motorists to be extra careful because the Puncak Rain area is covered in thick fog which makes visibility short," he said.

Meanwhile, dozens of officers remain on standby along the Puncak route to ensure smooth flow. Traffic arrangements are also carried out at a number of congestion-prone points, including tourist areas such as Hanjawar, Cibodas Botanical Gardens, Cipanas Market, and Pacet Highway, to avoid long queues.
