Cianjur - The Cianjur Police Traffic Unit, West Java, has recorded two landslide-prone points that drivers must be aware of when passing through the Puncak-Cianjur main road, because the former landslide cliff has not been completely repaired in the Ciloto area and the Puncak Pass area.
The head of the Cianjur Police Traffic Unit, Ipda Ika Cakra Mustika, said he had coordinated with relevant parties to handle the landslide that occurred a few days ago, so as not to hinder traffic flow during the year-end holidays.
"We hope that a thorough handling can be carried out to avoid subsequent landslides, where at this time the relevant services anticipate landslides by covering the cliffs with plastic tarps," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, December 29.
Warning signs are installed a few dozen meters before the location so that drivers are aware when passing, especially when heavy rain hits the Puncak area, especially in the afternoon and evening.
He explained that in addition to being prone to landslides, the Puncak to Cianjur area is prone to falling trees during heavy rain accompanied by strong winds, so road users are asked to comply with the recommendations of officers so that they can go on vacation safely and comfortably.
"We have installed warning signs and road safety at two former landslide locations to prevent vehicles from passing too close to the cliff, as an effort to anticipate the occurrence of a follow-up landslide," he said.
When it rains heavily, it often rains thick fog in the Puncak area which makes the visibility short about 10 meters, so drivers are asked to be patient not to overtake each other, turn on the main lights, and stop when the visibility is obstructed.
Including along the route to the southern region, where officers from the Polsek, give advice and advice to road users to be careful and vigilant when passing and safe tourism at water tourism destinations such as waterfalls and beaches.
"We ask drivers to always be careful, starting from the Puncak area which is often hit by rain and shrouded in thick fog, to the southern region where there are landslide-prone points ranging from Campaka District to Naringgul," he said.
