Cibodas and the camping ground area.

Dozens of officers were alerted at points prone to traffic jams along the route, even before noon the officers had time to engineer the flow by blocking and applying a one-way system to Bogor, in order to anticipate total traffic jams by midday.

The queue of vehicles that had stopped was smooth again after an hour of flow engineering being implemented. Even the long queues began to melt, but the flow engineering was again implemented in the late afternoon, as an effort to anticipate total traffic jams by nightfall.

Cianjur Police Chief, AKBP Doni Hermawan, said to anticipate total traffic jams in the Puncak area, along with the high volume of vehicles for tourist purposes, the peak route will increase again after tourist attractions close. However, throughout the odd-even implementation, only this week, there was a long line of vehicles.
