The main route of Yogyakarta to Gunung Kidul Regency in Piyungan District, Bantul Regency, was hit by landslides and subsides. Anticipating the queue of police vehicles carrying out traffic engineering or traffic jams.

"This landslide incident caused traffic jams from Yogyakarta. Officers must engineering to open lane closures to unravel current congestion," said Head of Public Relations of Bantul Police Iptu I Nengah Jeffry Prana Widyana in a press statement in Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Region, quoted from Antara, Monday 31 October

This traffic engineering follows the impact of landslides or the subsidence of part of the road that can be passed by one lane. As a result, vehicles heading towards Yogyakarta and Wonosari must take turns crossing the route.

However, Jeffry said there are a number of alternative roads that vehicle users can pass through. There are two lanes that can be used in the context of diverting this flow.

"An alternative route can pass through the Sambeng-Cawas route through Klaten Regency, Central Java. This route is recommended for vehicles with a cargo of more than 30 tons," he said.

Meanwhile, other alternative routes for motorized vehicles can pass the Getas (Playen)-Dlingo Line and Panggang-Siluk Line. The two routes penetrated the Imogiri area, Bantul Regency. These two lanes are for two-wheeled vehicles and private cars.

"Meanwhile, tourism buses and cargo trucks under 30 tons are still directed through the main Yogyakarta-Wonosari route. Later the open-close system will still be implemented," he said.

Due to the landslide incident, the Bantul Police appealed to motorists who crossed the route and other routes to be more aware of the weather entering the rainy season.

"We ask the public, especially motorists, to be more careful. Especially if they pass through lanes that are prone to landslides. Increase concentration in driving for mutual safety," he said.
