BOGOR - Bogor Police Traffic Unit implemented traffic engineering in the form of an odd-even system in the Puncak area from Wednesday 16 afternoon to Sunday 20 August.

"Considering that tomorrow is Wednesday one day before the national holiday, we will carry out odd-even checks starting Wednesday afternoon," said KBO Bogor Police Traffic Unit Iptu Ardian Novianto Wednesday, August 16.

"Then on Friday, it was also one day before the weekend, so Friday an odd-even examination was also carried out. It might last until Sunday," he continued.

The police predict that there will be an increase in the flow of vehicles leading to the Puncak area during this long holiday. On that basis, traffic engineering is applied to anticipate traffic jams.

"We can't be sure yet, but more or less on Fridays and Saturdays, the increase in upward currents will be high," he said.

As an anticipation, Ardian said that his party would deploy 86 personnel to help regulate traffic flow. In addition, there are also assistance from Shabara personnel, Satpol PP, Transportation Service (Dishub) to BPBD.

Ardian said that apart from the odd-even system, his party had also prepared engineering in the form of one way or one direction. However, the implementation is situational, depending on conditions on the ground.

"That's right (one situational way), seeing the situation of increasing the flow of vehicles from the direction of Jakarta and vice versa which from the direction of Puncak goes down," he said.

Furthermore, Ardian appealed to motorists who will go to the Puncak area to pay attention to their vehicle number plates in accordance with the provisions of the odd-even system.

Because, said Ardian, vehicles whose license plates do not comply with the provisions will be reversed by officers.,

"Then the vehicle that will pass to Puncak is confirmed to remain prime, checked first at the time of departure, so there is no strike and hinders the speed of other vehicles. Then also check vehicle documents and keep traffic orderly," he concluded.
