BANDUNG - A number of travelers who use motorbikes often take the wrong way when crossing the intersection between the arterial route and the route to the Cileunyi Toll Gate, Bandung Regency, West Java.

The Head of Bandung Police, Kombes Kusworo Wibowo, said that the motorbike travelers often took the wrong way because they did not see traffic signs or experienced fatigue on the way.

"After we pointed him to the right path, we asked why, he said he failed to focus, maybe tired," said Kusworo at the Cileunyi Integrated Post, Bandung Regency, West Java, reported by Antara, Friday, May 6.

He said it was a safety hazard. The reason is that when the motorbike enters the Cileunyi GT lane, the four-wheeled vehicle goes quite fast.

Even before approaching the intersection to GT Cileunyi from the east, many motorcyclists choose to drive in the left lane. Because four-wheeled vehicles go faster in the middle lane.

However, the intersection to GT Cileunyi is in the left lane, so travelers who use motorbikes are often carried by the current to the left lane towards GT Cileunyi.

For this reason, Kusworo also reminded travelers to pay close attention to traffic signs, especially in the Cileunyi intersection area.

"Yesterday we added it, maybe not much, but our personnel have been put on alert by a posse to control traffic," he said.

In addition, he also appealed to motorists to get enough rest before traveling. Because if you are tired, the driver can lose focus while on the road.

"For travelers or drivers who are tired, you should not force it, they are worried that it could have an impact on traffic accidents, so please stop at our rest area or security post," he said.
