Bali Regional Police prioritized vehicles leaving I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport at the turn of December 31 to January 1, 2025 to anticipate traffic jams.

"Especially for Ngurah Rai Airport, we prioritize vehicles that will leave the airport. We agree that what we prioritize is those who leave the airport so that it makes it easier for those who enter," said Head of the Bali Police Operations Bureau Kombes Soelistijono, Monday, December 30.

According to Soelist, traffic engineering in a number of roads around Bandar I Gusti Ngurah Rai is a special concern of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya.

Because last year, the entrance and exit of Ngurah Rai Airport and even the Bali Mandara Toll Road were totally jammed. As a result, many passengers are forced to walk to Ngurah Rai Airport.

The policy, said Soelist, is a cross-sectoral agreement between the Bali Police, Angkasa Pura, the Department of Transportation, Jasa Marga and other policy makers.

In addition, if there is a traffic jam, the risk taken by officers is separating vehicles that come out through the South and North doors of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport.

"The heavy point is last year's incident where there was a horror traffic jam. That is our attention from the National Police Chief, the Kapolda how we carry out traffic engineering efforts," he said as quoted by ANTARA.

The Bali Police Traffic Directorate has implemented a delay system or a delay system so that traffic around Ngurah Rai Airport remains smooth. If there is no traffic jam, then traffic will remain as usual.

"If there is a buildup, the north exit vehicle, we turn left, the Haris intersection, to Dewi Sartika, come out at Kartika Plaza. We will first turn the goal to delay the system or postponement system," he said.

During the turn of the year, all U-turns on the Ngurah Rai Bypass route to Ngurah Rai Airport will be temporarily closed.

In addition, the Bali Police also directed vehicles through the Bali Mandara toll road so that there would be no accumulation of vehicles.

The Bali Police deployed 191 personnel stationed on the road to Ngurah Rai Airport covering the Sanur area, Kuta, Jimbaran, Garuda Wisnu Kencana plus 18 personnel for the break team equipped with 18 vehicles.

"We are also preparing a crane. In the event of a vehicle breaking down, we will immediately go to the field to find a solution," he said.
