JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police conducted a survey of the Java north coast (pantura) route ahead of the implementation of the rhombus operation in preparation for the 2023 Eid al-Fitr.

"Today we are carrying out a survey of the Java north coast road in preparation for Eid," said the Director of Security and Safety at National Police Traffic Corps, Brigadier General Ery Nursatari, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, February 2.

Ery and his entourage also had time to inspect the Cipangaritan Subang Bridge, the Kali Pemali Berebes Bridge, and visited the Cirebon Police and the Tegal City Police.

"While in Tegal City, we received input from the traffickers and their staff regarding the efforts and steps to be taken in preparing for and facing Eid," he explained.

Ery Nursatari said that with this initial review and coordination, it was hoped that it would facilitate the preparation of steps to handle the 2023 Eid homecoming flow.

"We invite the regional police, district cities, and provinces to jointly solve problems in the regions related to problems with road facilities and road safety," he said.

He also appealed to people who will carry out homecoming to be orderly and obey traffic signs, so that they arrive safely at their destination.

"It is important for people to comply with traffic rules so we hope the accident fatality rate can go down," he ordered.

Ery and his entourage traced the pantura artery route starting from Jakarta, Kedung Waringin (Bekasi-Karawang border), Cipangaritan Subang Bridge, Kanci Cirebon Bridge, Pamali Brebes Bridge, Pemalang, Pekalongan City, Batang, Kendal and ending in Semarang City.
