The floods that paralyzed the Kudus-Purwodadi national road in the last few days, also inundated the road to Demak with a water level of 70 centimeters.

A number of motorbikes passing on the road broke down. Meanwhile, the only traffic route from Semarang to Surabaya via the Pantura Line was only accessed via Jepara, where there was a buildup of vehicles.

The flood at the 2 kilometer Tanjung Karang intersection made a number of residents take advantage of vehicle transportation services using pickups and trucks.

KBO Satlantas Polres Kudus, Iptu Noor Alifi appealed to all road users who pass the Kudus-Grobogan road to be patient and careful considering that the inundation is still quite deep.

"So there is no other alternative route. People who pass by using motorbikes, please be careful even though they can be crossed but still be dangerous," said Iptu Noor Alifi when managing traffic at the Tanjung Karang intersection, Wednesday, March 20.

Currently, there are a number of inundation points that need to be watched out for. The Kudus Police Traffic Unit is still trying to regulate the flow of traffic out of Kudus.

"Both from the direction of Surabaya to Semarang and vice versa, of course I hope to remain patient. Make sure the vehicle is safe and well used. Focus on the trip, prioritize safety rather than speed," he added.
