BOGOR - The Bogor Regency Government, West Java, carried out a crackdown on illegal parking in the Gelora Pakansari area. The operation is said to effectively reduce the level of violations to around 5 percent.
Head of Traffic Division of Bogor Regency Transportation Office, Dadang Kosasih in Cibinong, Bogor Regency, West Java, Sunday said the decrease in violations showed an increase in public awareness in complying with parking rules.
The order was carried out by the Transportation Service together with the Bogor Police and Kodim 0621 as an effort to maintain order and public comfort, especially during weekends and the implementation of car free day (CFD).
"If those who have often been active in Pakansari, are now orderly and park their vehicles in the designated place. This means that the socialization we have done is very effective," he said as quoted by ANTARA, April 12.
He explained that the discipline was carried out gradually while still paying attention to community activities. The new officers took action after the CFD activity took place so as not to disturb residents who exercised.
To increase discipline, Dishub has started to implement a gradual sanction against violators. If previously only a tire was issued, in the future a vehicle will be issued to the police.
During the crackdown, officers took action against five vehicles that were found to be parked carelessly, consisting of three motorcycles and two cars.
Dadang said that the public's response to the order was positive. The support of the people was considered one of the factors for success in reducing the number of violations.
"There are no complaints, in fact, the support of the community is extraordinary. This shows that public awareness is increasing," he said.
To strengthen these efforts, a massive parking ban sign has been installed with a distance of about 50 meters between points so that it is easy to be seen by the public.
In addition, socialization is also carried out through various channels, including social media to educate the public to use the available official parking areas.
The Bogor Regency Government also arranged for illegal parking attendants who were affected. Some have been recruited by the official manager, while the rest are still in the process of discussion.
On the other hand, vehicle access engineering is also prepared to anticipate a surge in visitors, including plans to open barriers at a number of points so that vehicles can directly enter the Pakansari area.
The Bogor Regency Government is optimistic that the Pakansari area can be fully orderly, safe, and comfortable as a public space for the community.
