The long Chinese New Year holiday, traffic on the Puncak Line, Cianjur, West Java was observed to be busy smoothly. Even so, the Cianjur Police continue to implement a one-way system.

Antara reported, ahead of Sunday, January 22 evening, even though the Puncak-Cianjur route, West Java, was busy smoothly, as an effort to anticipate total traffic jams over time for tourist attractions to run out.

Head of Bin Ops Satlantas Cianjur Police, Ipda Muchtaromi when contacted on Sunday, said that entering the 2023 Chinese New Year holiday, the traffic flow situation on Jalan Raya Puncak was still smooth and under control, although at a number of points leading to tourist attractions, there were queues with the speed of vehicles stagnant.

"The queue did not cause traffic jams because many vehicles were in and out of tourist attractions, so the speed of vehicles had stalled, an increase had occurred since Saturday night," he said. A number of traffic engineering including odd-even traffic remained in place so as not to cause long queues of vehicles on the Puncak-Cianjur main route. In fact, the implementation of a one-way system will be implemented Sunday evening waiting for coordination from the Bogor Police.

He estimates that the volume of vehicles will increase as tourist attractions close, so that the implementation of a one-way system to Bogor will be implemented, as an effort to anticipate total traffic jams along the route.

"We are still waiting for coordination from the Bogor Resort Police to implement a one-way system to Bogor starting from the Puncak-Cipanas route. It will take a long time or does not depend on the condition of the route in the Bogor jurisdiction," he said.

His party asked road users who cross the Puncak-Cianjur route to always obey traffic signs and directions from officers in the field. This includes calls for disaster alerts when crossing disaster-prone routes such as the Puncak and Babakan Cisarua-Cipanas areas.
