BANDUNG - Lembang tourist areas were observed to be jammed on the Chinese New Year Holiday, Sunday, January 22, and the Cimahi Police implemented a one-way system (One Way) to break down the queue of vehicles.

The Cimahi Police Traffic Unit implemented a one-way traffic engineering (one way) to anticipate the density of tourist vehicles leading to the Lembang tourist area, West Bandung Regency, West Java, during the 2023 Chinese New Year holiday. Head of the Cimahi Police Traffic Unit AKP Sudirianto said that since Sunday morning there have been several traffic engineering to prevent vehicle density. "This is now still ongoing, it has been four 'one way' to the top (Lambang), if it goes down (Bandung) twice," said Sudirianto in Lembang, West Bandung Regency, quoted by Antara, Sunday afternoon. One way is applied from the border area between Bandung City and West Bandung Regency, while vehicles from above are being held around the Lembang Grand Hotel. In addition, according to him, the police anticipate a number of density-prone points, including in the Farmhouse tourist area, Floating Market, to the Panorama Lembang Market. While it is now starting to solid, he predicts the peak of tourist flow during the long Imlek holiday will occur on Monday, January 23 morning because tourists from outside the region will mix with local tourists.

For this reason, he appealed to tourists to find out the conditions of the intended traffic flow. In addition, tourists can take advantage of alternative routes to the Lembang area. "There is now an online map application, you can see if it is red, it means it is dense, if it is green smooth," he said.
