BANDUNG - The Transportation Service of West Java Province (Jabar) appealed to travelers to anticipate 49 congestion points in West Java during the 2022 Lebaran homecoming.

The majority of congestion points are caused by traditional market activities and spilled markets, official terminals and shadow terminals, crossroads, climbs, winding roads, tourist attractions, and the increasing volume of vehicles.

Koswara gave an example that traffic jams will almost certainly occur in the Limbangan area, Garut Regency, but it has been anticipated.

"In Limbangan, Garut Regency, there are three market points. Congestion is caused by many people crossing. Later, a barrier will be made so as not to cross carelessly," he said.
