MATARAM - The Mataram City Transportation Service, West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) has prepared a scenario for securing the MotoGP bus lane to the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit area from the former Selaparang Airport, Rembiga to Tembolak Gate, South Ring Road.
The Head of the Mataram City Transportation Service, M Saleh, said that several scenarios for securing the route would be carried out, including setting green traffic signs for longer than the usual duration.
"Every time a group of MotoGP buses passes at a red light, our officers will arrange a longer green light until the bus group passes at once," he said in Mataram, Antara, Thursday, March 17.
In addition, he continued, an escort will be carried out so that the MotoGP audience bus group does not get stuck in traffic according to the predetermined path.
The MotoGP audience bus route from North Lombok, West Lombok and Mataram City starts from the former Selaparang Rembiga Airport, heading to Jalan Udayana.
Then at the AMM intersection turn right onto Jalan Pendidikan, towards Jalan Majapahit, then to Ampenan Jalan Arya Banjar Getas and finally at the Gate of Tembolak, South Ring Road.
"We are escorting the bus to the Tembolak Gate, which is the entrance or boundary of the Mataram City area," he said.
To provide optimal escort, dozens of Mataram City Transportation Agency officers were picked up for three days, March 18-20 2022. Including at home time, on Jalan Sriwijaya, to be precise in front of the Niaga Supermarket.
The reason is that the area is often a hotspot for traffic jams, especially for three days the city government provides a policy of operating hours for restaurants, restaurants and street vendors (PKL) during MotoGP until 24.00 WITA.
"We need to anticipate this policy, because after returning from the circuit, the audience will definitely look for food or go to Lombok Epicentrum Mall," he said.
Meanwhile, the level of traffic jam-prone in the morning that gets attention is Sunday morning on Jalan Udayana which is usually crowded due to CFD (car free day) activities.
"Therefore, we have coordinated with DLH to eliminate special CFD activities on Sunday, March 10, so that Jalan Udayana is sterile so that there will be no traffic jams," he said.
