The diversion of the flow was carried out in Cagak Nagreg towards the current leading to Tasikmalaya. So that the homecoming vehicle is directed to turn right towards Garut.

One way around the Nagreg Cikaledong route, it really has to be collaborative. We have also coordinated with the Garut Police," he said.

"If you look at the number of passing by, it is still felt that there will be an increase in the number of vehicle flows in the following days. We are still anticipating that up to D-1 Lebaran there may still be an increase in the flow," he said.

Anom said that up to D-3 Lebaran, his party recorded a phenomenon of a spike in travel from travelers at night.
