CIANJUR - Cianjur Police, West Java, will implement an odd-even system ahead of the 2022 Christmas and New Year celebrations, as an effort to control the mobility of residents to the center of the crowd in the Puncak-Cipanas area, so that there are no crowds.

Cianjur Police Chief, AKBP Doni Hermawan, said his party immediately coordinated with the COVID-19 Task Force and the Cianjur Regency Government, in securing Christmas and New Year, as an effort to suppress the spread of the dangerous virus.

"We will set up several check posts and PAM posts at certain points, although there are no barriers, the odd-even implementation will be carried out as an effort to suppress the mobility of residents during Christmas and New Year", he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 8.

The odd-even implementation applies to vehicles from outside the city and is currently being discussed, including private vehicles from within the city, so that during Christmas and New Year, there is no increase in the volume of vehicles that can cause total traffic jams.

Even the control of the mobility of vehicles and residents will be even tighter in the center of the crowd ahead of Christmas and the New Year in the Puncak-Cipanas area, which is crowded with residents from outside the city like Jabodetabek every long holiday.

"We will monitor mobility in the Cipanas-Puncak area and its surroundings because the area is a tourist area frequented by residents from various regions during Christmas and New Year. We will also coordinate with the Bogor Police and Sukabumi Police", said AKBP Doni.

This coordination, continued AKBP Doni, is an effort to anticipate total traffic jams during the Christmas and New Year long holidays because every year the route to Cianjur from outside the city is crowded with vehicles and prone to traffic jams.

"We will carry out some of the flow engineerings during Christmas and New Year, including coordinating with the Bogor and Sukabumi Police, when we have to carry out a one-way system, as a solution to total traffic jams", he said.
