JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) together with the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) and the Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police immediately compiled an evaluation and recommendation after checking the southern coastal route (Pansela) of Java. This step was taken to decide whether the route could be used as the Lebaran 2023 homecoming route (1444 Hijri). "In general, this route can be passed for Lebaran homecoming or on school holidays as well as Christmas and New Year holidays, although there are still several roads that must be our common concern," said Director of Road Traffic of the Ministry of Transportation Cucu Mulyana in an electronic message received in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, January 22. Mulyana's grandson has just visited the Pansela route from Pangandaran, West Java, to Bantul, DIY on Saturday, January 21 yesterday. The team checked the Pansela Jawa route that passed the Province of Banten-West Java-Central Java to the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) has completed a field review. "With the implementation of lane checks with Korlantas and the Directorate General of Highways at the Ministry of PUPR, we are increasingly aware of the actual condition of the route," he said. he said that in the next week, the Ministry of Transportation together with the Ministry of PUPR and the Korlantas Polri will meet to discuss and evaluate what must be done and addressed, as well as issue recommendations for the use of the southern Java route. "Indeed, traveling while on vacation is not only done during the Eid season but also during school holidays in June and July as well as Christmas and New Year holidays," said Cucu. From the results of the review, he said, recommendations could be given to the leadership, what priorities should be taken, based on the priority scale from the Labuan Intersection (Pandeglang) to the Kretek 2 Bridge in Bantul (Yogyakarta). "We will also evaluate what is needed, not only the domain of the Ministry of Transportation, but also other agencies such as the Ministry of PUPR, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and also the Korlantas Polri. "In plain view, we can already know what is the need and responsibility of who. For example, such as street lighting, 'delineator' lights, 'guardrail', and in one week we will calculate how much traffic sign needs are needed along the southern coast of Java," he said. Meanwhile, related to the funds needed for signs on the southern coast of Java that spread from Banten Province to East Java Province for more than 1,000 kilometers, the Ministry of Transportation will carry out a strategy based on a priority scale because the funds needed must be very large. "For example, not all roads have street lights installed, but we choose only more vulnerable roads that we can install," said Cucu. Meanwhile, the Director of Road and Bridge Preservation Region I of the Ministry of PUPR, Akhmad Cahyadi, said that specifically for Cilacap to Kebumen sections, they would be evaluated more deeply. "The road that is too steep may be trimmed and the steep road will be elevated so as not to endanger road users. "The road, which is only 5 meters wide, will be widened to 7 meters as the national road standard," said Cahyadi.
