This week's long holiday, the Bogor Resort Police imposed traffic engineering in the form of odd-even traffic on the Puncak tourist route, Bogor Regency, West Java, from Wednesday afternoon to Sunday 4 June. "Starting this afternoon we are implementing an odd-even system until Sunday," said Head of Operations Development Affairs (KBO) of the Bogor Police Traffic Unit, Iptu Ardian Novianto, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 31. He explained that the implementation of traffic engineering on the connecting route between Bogor Regency and Cianjur Regency was related to the Pancasila Birthday holiday on June 1, followed by Vesak Day on June 3-4. So that the government decided to take a joint leave on June 2, 2023. "According to Minister of Transportation Number 84 of 2021, the odd-even system towards the Puncak tourist area is enforced one day before the national holiday," he explained. Ardian predicts that the peak increase in vehicle volume at this long holiday momentum will occur on Friday 2 June 2023.

However, if there is a significant increase in the volume of vehicles, the Police will implement traffic engineering in the form of a one-way system alternately on the Puncak Line. "It is possible (density) from Friday afternoon until night, but we are still looking at the situation. If there is a density we apply one way," said Ardian.
