The north side of the intersection of Jalan 4 Jembatan will be installed "barriers" (limitors) and the north side of Jalan Bumi Cengkareng Indah from the JB Market direction to Pasadena will be applied one direction east. Then, the north side of Jalan Galunggung from Pedongkelan towards the RSUD will be applied one direction to the west. "Then the east side follows the plan for the main gate of Cengkareng Hospital, Pangrango Street, applied one direction from the south," explained Indarto.
