REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG- The Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas) of the West Java Police revealed that passenger vehicles resting in the rest area in the toll area in West Java are restricted to only 30 minutes. The policy is carried out in anticipation of congestion.

“We have coordinated with the Highway Management Agency there are several patterns or ways of acting that we are trying to do the first one, which is to limit the rest time for 30 minutes to all commuters,” said West Java Police Traffic Director Pol Wibowo on Diponegoro Street, Wednesday (3/4/2024).

Wibowo said that the restriction of rest time for travelers in rest areas aims to avoid overcrowding of vehicles. In addition, it can alternate with other developers. “We will maximize the rear parking, we will fill it up first so that the parking lots in front can be fully filled after the parking lot in the back is fully filled,” he said.

According to Wibowo, it has asked foodcurt managers to prepare tenants for consumers who will take away food. So that the public does not linger in line. “We also canalize yes both at the entrance and at the exit then try to what to drive away or clear vehicles that are parked or even stopped on the shoulder of the road around the rest area,” he said.

Wibowo said that the strategy to solve congestion during the homecoming flow is by applying contraflow at Jakarta Cikampek Toll Road. While the one way policy is enforced from kilometer 72 to 414.
