JAKARTA - The flow of vehicular traffic to Puncak was quiet on the first day of the odd-even application by five police stations/polresta throughout the West Java Regional Police in the Bogor Raya agglomeration area.

Antara's observations from the Puncak area, Bogor, from Friday, September 10 evening to Saturday morning, found that heavy rain that flushed also made four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicle traffic quiet in Puncak Bogor.

From Simpang Gadog to the direction of Puncak Pass, the atmosphere in the Puncak area was not like the previous two weekends which were crowded, and even went viral on social media in the midst of implementing PPKM to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles seemed so selected from the direction of Jakarta that they drove towards Puncak after going through the barrier at Simpang Gadog. Likewise, vehicles from the direction of Cianjur to Jakarta that pass, there are one or two vehicles with a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour in both directions.

Combined officers from the TNI/Polri, the Transportation Agency, and the Satpol PP guarding the intersection location of Simpang Gadog divided the odd and even vehicle lanes. For vehicles that are found to have odd number plates or do not match the calendar date, they will be turned back immediately.

The vehicle runs slowly until it passes the selection of officers who check plates and pay attention to the driver's health protocol, namely the use of masks.

Five police stations/polresta in the Bogor Raya agglomeration area, namely Bogor Police, Bogor City Police, Sukabumi City Police, Sukabumi Police, and Cianjur Police apply odd-even for 24 hours to avoid people who circumvent the departure time to Puncak, seeing the free time of isolation as before .

"Facing the weekend, they are worried like yesterday they are looking for when to walk and when (officers) are empty, so we cut them off, doing insulation," said Bogor Regency Satpol PP Secretary Iman Wahyu Budiana.
