Vice Chairman of Commission
V of House Yudi Widiana Adi upon inspecting preparation for Lebaran hometown
rush at the Harjamukti bus terminal Cirebon warned passengers to be cautious of
the potential of traffic bottlenecking at the exit way of Cikopo-Palimanan toll
road West Java and potential street market outburst. The bottlenecking was
inevitable and therefore traffic planning was needed from now on. The West Java
Police stated they had prepared alternative routes to anticipate bottlenecking.
This was disclosed by the Public Relations Dept House on Monday (6.7).
Meanwhile the Management of Jasa Marga would apply Open
Gate System at the entry gate of Plumbon Toll road to prevent accumulation of
vehicles. Soon cars would only stop once when paying at the counter. The Harjamukti
Terminal in Cirebon belonged to Type A category, the condition was rated as
disheartening. Now there were more big buses compared to small vehicles. Ideally
the ratio was 5 : 1 but now for the Bandung – Jakarta route the ratio was in
reverse: there were more small cars than big buses on the road.
He remarked further that the route of 2015 was notably
well planned. The Cipali toll road from Jakarta – Cirebon until Brebes was
around 3 hours. The main problem was streetmarket outburst, but the police was
expected to draw road marks so market activities would not flow out to the
road. (SS)
