Even the management of Tanjung Bira together with TNI and Polri personnel were forced to intervene to regulate vehicles to break down traffic jams.

Meanwhile, the number of vehicles from the temporary data of the Department of Transportation, it was recorded that it had reached 15 thousand vehicles, both four-wheeled and two-wheeled, to this tourist spot.
