CIANJUR - Cianjur Police, West Java, implemented an odd-even system starting from the Gentur-Bypass Light roundabout, Cianjur to the Puncak-Cipanas area, as an effort to anticipate total traffic jams during Christmas celebrations on the main route of Puncak-Cianjur.

Cianjur Police Chief, AKBP Doni Hermawan said, the volume of vehicles from Bandung to Cianjur or from Bogor to Cianjur, increased from morning to evening, so that members at each post carried out flow engineering.

"Various anticipations, including the one-way system, will be implemented on Christmas Eve until the new year, so that there will be no total traffic jams on the main route and protocol lanes, where is the location of the church that will hold the Christmas mass," Doni said as quoted by Antara, Saturday, December 24.

It was recorded that until Saturday night, the volume of vehicles from outside the city to Cianjur and the Puncak-Cipanas area had increased so that his party carried out calf fences at a number of points to implement an odd-even system to suppress vehicle mobility.

Unsuitable or even vehicles bound for Puncak-Cipanas from Cianjur direction, will be directed to the Jonggol or Sukabumi alternative route, including on New Year's Eve, so that the queue of vehicles does not snake along the Puncak-Cianjur route.

"We have also alerted a special team to break the queue along the main Puncak-Cianjur route, including coordinating with the Bogor Resort Police to carry out a one-way system when there is a long queue of vehicles with a non-moving speed," he said.

The implementation of a one-way system is enforced situationally, when the queue melts, traffic flow will be opened normally. "We are making various efforts to avoid total traffic jams along the main Puncak-Cianjur route," he said.
