Ahead of the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year celebrations, Sukabumi Police Chief AKBP Dedy Darmawansyah went directly to review the feasibility of the alternative route for Cikidang, Cikidang District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java. "This review is to ensure safety and feasibility conditions starting from roads, signs, lighting and locations prone to accidents and crimes on the Cikidang alternative route that connects Cikidang District with Palabuhanratu," said Dedy in Sukabumi, Antara, Friday, November 18. Di bawah seruan hujan deras, dengan mendagangkan sepeda motor, Dedy yang didampingi Kasat Samapta Polres Sukabumi AKP Roni Haryanto, Kanit Regident Satuan Lalu Lintas Polres Sukabumi Iptu Iwan Hendi dan KBO Satuan Lalu Lintas Iptu Damar Gunawan memantau kondisi jalan di jalur alternatif tersebut. This step is taken to minimize traffic accidents and crimes. His party predicts that during the Christmas and New Year holidays there will be many tourists coming from the Greater Jakarta area to vacation in the Unesco Global Geopark Ciletuh Palabuhanratu area. Tourists who come may not only take the main route to Palabuhanratu such as from Simpang Ratu, Cibadak-Palabuhanratu District, but some will use the Cikidang-Palabuhanratu alternative route to avoid vehicle congestion. According to Dedy, on the main route, the alternative Cikidang found several shortcomings, such as the availability of road signs and lighting. This monitoring is also preparation for personnel placement and traffic flow engineering, if during the Christmas and New Year holidays there is traffic jams from Palabuhanratu to Cikidang or vice versa. "We are still reviewing whether this alternative route from Sampora is feasible or not to be used during the security for the upcoming 2022 Christmas and New Year 2023 holidays," he added. He continued, the results of direct field visits will be used as material for his party to find the right solution and later it can be applied in the pattern of securing the intas traffic flow on the Cikidang alternative route.
