Backflow For Eid 2022 In Cross Gentong Tasikmalaya Is Dense

GARUT - The flow of vehicles on the national route across Gentong, Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java, to Bandung is congested, making officers have to apply a one-way system several times.

The density of vehicle flows on the southern route of West Java across the Tasikmalaya Regency has occurred since Friday afternoon until evening, there is still a density on the Gentong route to Garut.

Officers have several times imposed one-way traffic on the return flow from the east or Tasikmalaya to the west or Garut-Bandung to break up the density on the route.

Deputy Director of Traffic for the West Java Police, AKBP Matrius, said that the West Java South Line was experiencing an increase in the flow of vehicles from east to west.

"The current has increased from yesterday," he said.

Efforts to overcome the density of the flow of vehicles on the route, a one-way system or vehicle withdrawal is applied from Gentong to Malangbong, Garut Regency, for approximately 10 km.

"The implementation of 'one way' is due to the accumulation of traffic flow from the Nagreg Circle to Rajapolah," added AKBP Matrius.

The density of vehicle flows is due to the increasing volume of vehicles passing on the West Java South Line, while road capacity is still limited to only two lanes, each using one lane.

Another effort to overcome congestion on the route, he said, is by diverting the flow of vehicles from the direction of Ciamis or Tasikmalaya to the alternative route Singaparna to go to Garut and then Bandung.

"We engineered it by diverting to Sinngarpana and pulling from Gentong to Malangbong," said AKBP Matrius.
