ACEH - The Traffic Directorate of the Aceh Police has mapped 56 accident-prone points on the homecoming route spread across 23 districts/cities in the westernmost province of Indonesia.

Traffic Director of the Aceh Police, Kombes Dicky Sondani, estimates that there will be an increase in the flow of motorized vehicles during the 2022 Eid homecoming in this area. His party has made an inventory of accident-prone points on all lanes or roads in Aceh Province.

At vulnerable points the police will set up posts, including carrying out traffic engineering. "Traffic engineering by installing street lights, installing road dividers, shock lines, and others to anticipate traffic accidents," he said.

In addition to accident-prone points, the availability of traffic signs is also low, both in quality and quantity. Therefore, his party ordered the ranks of the Traffic Units in the region to cooperate with the local transportation service to focus on the problem of traffic signs.

Regarding the flow of motorized vehicles during Lebaran homecoming, Dicky Sondani predicts that there will be an increase compared to last year's data. In this case, the government provides leeway for the community to travel back and forth for those who have been vaccinated in full doses.

"Unlike last year, there were restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We predict the peak of the homecoming flow in Aceh on D-3 because at the same time a joint leave policy was issued by the Government," he said.

Dicky Sondani appealed to road users to be careful when going home because the volume of vehicles increased. The public is also asked not to drive if the body condition is not fit.

"Prepare yourself before leaving. If you use a private vehicle, prepare driving equipment and motorized vehicle documents. Use the service post to rest," he said.
