BANDUNG - The flow of homecoming on the national route in the Nagreg area, Bandung Regency, West Java, was in a solid state of creep on Thursday, April 20 afternoon or D-2 Lebaran 2023. Bandung Regency Transportation Service Public Relations Eric Alam Prabowo said that at this H-2 the volume of vehicles crossing the southern route through Nagreg was observed to increase rapidly. "It was observed that from 00.00 WIB until now the traffic was quite heavy towards Nagreg," said Eric at the Dishub Monitoring Post, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, April 20. The traffic density that occurred in Nagreg, among others, due to the impact of the density that occurred in the Limbangan area (Garut Regency). In addition, a number of travelers began to pull over to prepare for breaking the fast. In addition, the density was caused by a narrowing to the east lane from three lanes to one lane from the Cikaledong area (Nagreg) to the equilibrium. Eric explained that the volume of vehicles in Nagreg peaked on D-3 Lebaran 2023. During the 24 hours on the D-3, according to him, there were as many as 129 thousand vehicles crossing Nagreg to the east.

Then on D-2 Lebaran 2023, the number of vehicles crossing Nagreg has the potential to be more numerous than D-3. Because on D-2 from 00.00 WIB to 09.00 WIB there were 53 thousand vehicles that had crossed Nagreg. "H-3 data has actually broken the peak of the homecoming flow in 2022, which amounted to only 121 thousand vehicles," he said.
