The Cianjur Police Traffic Unit, West Java, has implemented flow engineering at traffic jams along the main Cianjur route such as Jalan Raya Cipanas, Ciranjang and Gekbrong, as an effort to anticipate total traffic jams during homecoming and return flow. KBO Then Cianjur Police Iptu Muktaromi said, to secure lanes during the long holiday of Eid al-Adha, his party lowered three-quarters of the strengths alerted at a number of vulnerable points, including on tourist routes. "We are preparing flow engineering starting from the Puncak-Cipanas, Cianjur-Bandung and Cianjur-Sukabumi routes, even the flow closure will be carried out when there is a total traffic jam on the main Puncak-Cipanas route, along with the high volume of vehicles," he said in Cianjur, Antara, Monday, June 17. His party noted that on D al-Fitr, the volume of vehicles passing along the main Cianjur route seemed to increase, but did not cause queues only at vulnerable points such as Hanjawar T-junction, Cibodas and Cipanas Market, the speed of vehicles had stalled. So that dozens of officers immediately carried out a calf fence to anticipate the queue that continued to lengthen, especially before the evening, including engineering the current along the Ciranjang route to Bandung by directing the vehicle not to turn immediately. "Officers were deployed to a number of points to regulate traffic flow to remain smooth despite congestion, such as the Puncak-Cipanas route and the Ciranjang Market Line towards Bandung," he said. Meanwhile, the implementation of the one-way system will be applied at the peak of the return flow of the sacrificial Eid on Tuesday (18/6), starting from Cipanas Market to the Ciawi Toll Gate, in order to avoid total traffic jams when travelers and tourists start mingling. "For system one, situational action is implemented in coordination with the Bogor Police, when the queue extends to 4 kilometers. Various efforts have been made so that there will be no total traffic jams at the peak of the return flow of the sacrificial width," he said. According to Antara's observation, the flow of vehicles passing along the main Cianjur route is busy, the speed of vehicles stagnant is seen on the Cipanas route to Puncak and the T-junction to tourist attractions such as Cibodas and Hanjawar.

Dozens of officers were alerted at points prone to traffic, including the main route connecting Cianjur with Bandung, precisely along Ciranjang Market, where the vehicle causing traffic jams due to cars and motorbikes coming in and out, was directed by officers to another lane.
