The application of this traffic engineering will be determined at the discretion of the Police. “There are always traffic jams in the Puncak area. With this engineering, it is hoped that traffic will be more controlled,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Director of Law Enforcement (Dirgakkum) of the National Police Korlantas Brigadier General Aan Suhanan said that his party had prepared a number of traffic engineering schemes in the Puncak Bogor area.

A number of these schemes include contraflow, odd-even, to diverting current to alternative routes.

"In the alternative route, there are already instructions so that there really is no other choice on even-numbered dates, only even-numbered cars can pass through this Puncak route. So overall, people are ready to stay, later the public can be socialized about traffic engineering that will be carried out in the Puncak tourist area, " said Ana.
