BOGOR - The police closed the Puncak route, Bogor Regency, for all types of vehicles on New Year's Eve. This is because in that area there will be a Car Free Night.

Kasatlantas Bogor Police, AKP Fadli Amri said, this CFN will take effect from Tuesday, December 31 at 18.00 WIB to Wednesday, January 1 at 06.00 WIB.

"The restriction of vehicles for four wheels and two wheels, but we focus more on four wheels," said Fadli.

Head of the Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) Polri, Insp. Gen. Istiono, emphasized that the 22 kilometers of Puncak route will be sterile from vehicles and only allowed for pedestrians.

He appealed to the public who wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve in the Puncak area, to have entered the Puncak route before the implementation of the CFN.

This is because vehicles that are already on the Puncak route are not allowed to leave when the CFN is enforced. The police have also provided a number of parking pockets for vehicles already on the Puncak route.

Previously, Head of the Jabodetabek Transportation Management Agency (BPTJ), Bambang Prihartono, said that the closure of the peak route was one of the steps for the Bogor Police to avoid overloading vehicles that will celebrate the new year in the Puncak area.

He added that with the closure of this route, a number of alternative routes were provided. Among them, Cibubur-Cianjur via Jonggol with the route Cibubur-Cileungsi-Jonggol Cariu-Cikalong-Cianjur. The distance is 86.1 km with a travel time of 2 hours 45 minutes. Then, the second alternative route is Ciawi-Cianjur via Sukabumi with the route Ciawi-Cicurug-Cibadak-Kota Sukabumi-Cianjur with a distance of 88.6 km and a travel time of 3 hours 41 minutes.
