West Sumatra (West Sumatra) Regional Police (Polda) proposed the construction of a traffic rescue lane (traffic) around the Bow Terminal area, Padang Panjang City, to prevent repeated deadly accidents in the area.
This was conveyed by Dirlantas Polda West Sumatra AKBP Muhammad Reza Chairul Akbar Sidiq in response to the fatal accident of an ALS bus from Medan City to Bekasi, West Java, which killed 12 passengers.
"Later we will propose to build a rescue lane in this area, because there have been frequent accidents at this location," he said in Padang Panjang City, Tuesday, May 6, as reported by Antara.
AKBP Reza said the construction of the rescue lane was important so that vehicles that lost control such as failed brakes could anticipate the worst possibility.
"So, this safety lane functions to hold vehicles that cannot be controlled," he explained.
Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor of Padang Panjang Alex Saputra said the local government had repeatedly written to relevant stakeholders to build a rescue lane in the accident-prone area.

Allx said that if the rescue lane was approved, it would be built in the Koto Baru area, including in the Angkat Terminal area, Padang Panjang City, especially on the right and left sides of the road.
"We have often proposed the construction of this rescue lane. Considering this is the national road so we need the support of the West Sumatra Provincial Government to be realized immediately," said Allek.
On that occasion, Deputy Mayor of Padang Panjang said he had ordered the local Social Service and BPBD to record whether there were local residents who were also victims of the deadly accident that killed 12 people.
"In addition to residents of Padang Panjang City, we also recorded victims who were on the transport," he said.
