JABAR - To prevent the accumulation of vehicles in toll road rest areas, the Governor of West Java (Jabar) M Ridwan Kamil appealed to travelers returning home to prepare food and drinks.

This was conveyed by the man who is familiarly called Kang Emil after becoming an Apple inspector to hold the 2022 Ketupat Lodaya Operations Force in the Context of Security for Eid Al-Fitr 1443 Hijriah during the COVID-19 Pandemic Period on Jalan Diponegoro, Bandung City, Friday, April 22.

"For those who go home via the toll road, please have lots of food in the car, lots of drinks," he said.

Kang Emil said that the preparation of food and drinks from the time they left for homecoming could prevent travelers from lingering in the rest area.

"So that later those who go to the rest area (rest area) are really in a hurry, because if they are already in the rest area, they will be limited to a maximum of 30 minutes," he said, quoting Antara.

Deputy Head of the West Java Regional Police Brigadier General Bariza Sulfi also appealed to travelers not to linger in toll road rest areas before the implementation of the one-way scheme.

"The one-way (one-way) route is enforced from Jakarta to Central Java. Homecomers from Central Java will have 30 minutes to rest in the rest area. Right before the one-way, they must be emptied so that when they leave the rest area, they can pass to Jakarta using the toll road. ," he said.

He said that residents will be asked to vacate rest areas on toll roads before the one-way scheme is implemented starting April 28, 2022 at 17.00 WIB.

On April 28, 2022, he continued, the police will ask residents to leave the rest area at 15.00 WIB.

"So we will work together, if you want to go to Jakarta, now go through the toll road, don't be careless. If you are late, you have to take an alternative route, it's a pity," he said.

"For example, if in Cikampek KM102 goes to Jakarta via the toll road, it can take an hour and a half. So, two hours is the right time for him to go out to Jakarta via the toll road, he will issue it via arteries, it's a pity for the people," he said.
