The Sukabumi Police Traffic Unit (Satlantas) noted that thousands of vehicles entered the tourist attraction area of Palabuhanratu Beach, Sukabumi Regency, West Java (West Java) on Sunday, December 31.

The Sukabumi Police Traffic Unit (Satlantas) recorded thousands of vehicles entering the tourist attraction area of Palabuhanratu Beach, Sukabumi Regency, West Java (West Java) on Sunday, December 31.

"Towards the 2024 New Year celebration, the flow of vehicles entering the coastal tourist attraction area continues to increase, recorded until 15.00 WIB there are 11,720 vehicles entering," said Sukabumi Police Traffic Unit Law Enforcement Head Ipda M Fajar Yanuar in Sukabumi, West Java (West Java), Sunday 31 December, confiscated by Antara.

Of these, 6,750 units of two-wheeled vehicles, while 4,970 units of four wheels. According to him, it is very likely that vehicles entering tourist attractions will continue to grow closer to the peak of the New Year's party.

However, until 15.00 WIB the flow of traffic around the southern coast tourist destination of Sukabumi Regency was observed to be busy smoothly.

Such as the traffic flow observed at the Gunung Butak Intersection Security Post, Citepus Village, Palabuhanratu District, which is the entrance to the Palabuhanratu Beach tourist attraction, which is still in good condition even though there has been an increase in the volume of vehicles.

The condition of the traffic flow is fairly normal, however, his party continues to anticipate a significant increase in the number of vehicles leading to coastal tourist attractions that could have an impact on the accumulation of vehicles or congestion.

"Anticipate what we do by engineering traffic flow, such as making one way or blocking. However, the way to act like this is situational in nature," he said.

Yanuar also appealed to tourists who want to visit this tourist attraction to be careful because heavy rains had fallen, so the road became wet and at several points there were areas prone to landslides.

Not only that, but his party has also anticipated the return flow of tourists. According to the results of cross-sectoral meetings for backflows, traffic flow engineering will be carried out due to several considerations and seeing conditions on the ground.

Meanwhile, when the backflow of vehicles coming out of tourist attractions, precisely from Citepus Beach at the intersection of Mount Butak is directed straight to Buniwangi - Cimanggu further towards Cikidang. Then the route leading to Cisarakan will be blocked, turned back towards Cimanggu or straightened towards Warungkiara.
