REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi requested management or special arrangements for bottlenecks in the existing toll road in Java West and the rest area in it in this 2024 homecoming season.

Because, on the toll road along West Java, there are now many meeting points, and rest areas that often become congestion points, he said in Bandung, Sunday (31/3/2024). “As in Cipali it will remain two lines, and the Cisumdawu line is operated, so in KM 125 it is contracting, so it needs special management. Then also the rest area needs more persuasive activities to smooth the flow,” he said.

Regarding the management plan in the rest area, Budi revealed that Polda Jabar will reduce the Polwan lineup as a persuasive step to smooth the flow of vehicles. “It's a creative move by taking Polwan down, which is a good persuasive move and I appreciate that,” he said.

In addition, he continued, there must also be proper handling and policy towards the spill market with its delmans operating there so that the delman drivers do not lose sustenance. “It's like giving CSR because we shouldn't deprive them of sustenance. No less important is the trajectory of the plot, which must be well regulated,” he said.
