JAKARTA - The Department of Transportation (Dishub) of Bogor Regency, West Java, is wary of acute congestion along the Dramaga-Leuwiliang Line after Eid 2024.

Acting Secretary of the Bogor Regency Transportation Agency Dadang Kosasih in Cibinong, Tuesday, revealed that the route in the western region of Bogor Regency was prone to traffic jams so that it became a special concern for Transportation Agency personnel.

This route is not only used by the community to stay in touch with relatives after Lebaran, but also for traveling because there are several natural tourist destinations.

The Bogor Regency Transportation Agency even established three posts on the route from the Dramaga Ring Road (JLD) to Leuwiliang.

"We built a post because it started with traffic jams from JLD to Leuwiliang. We built three posts there, at JLD, Ciampea, and Leuwiliang," Dadang said as quoted by Antara.

In addition to directly monitoring, the Bogor Regency Transportation Agency also uses Area Traffic Control System (ATCS) technology to ensure traffic activity in the area is smooth.

"We use ATCS, every time there is a high rise, we can prioritize it. For example, traffic jams are long, we can prioritize them. We monitor 24 hours," he said.

To support the use of ATCS, his party has alerted 435 personnel spread across 10 security post points (pospam).
