The number of toll gate substations (GT) in Kalikangkung Semarang was added to the impact of the increasing flow of vehicles from the west entering the capital city of Central Java, Sunday, April 16.

"There are eight regular units coupled with the operation of seven satellite substations on the northmost side so that a total of 5 substations are operated," said Head of the Kalikangkung Toll Gate Security Post, Iptu Rudyanto, Sunday, April 16, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, the increase in the number of transaction substations for vehicles from the direction of Jakarta is aimed at anticipating that queues are not too long.

"If it's too long, it has the potential to cause an accident," he continued.

From Sunday, April 16 at 06.00 to 14.00 WIB, 12,254 vehicles passed the Kalikangkung GT from the west.

Meanwhile, the total number of vehicles from the west passing through the Kalikangkung GT on Saturday, April 15, was recorded at 28,136 vehicles. This number increased by about 46 percent from the previous day which reached 19,213 vehicles.
