Christmas Traffic Congestion Eases with Alternating Traffic Regulation in Bogor‘s Puncak Area
BOGOR, Indonesia – The long weekend has brought a surge in traffic congestion to the Puncak area in Bogor, as residents and tourists take to the roads for their end-of-year getaways. In response, local police have implemented an alternating traffic, or ‘ganjil-genap’ (odd-even) policy, to ease traffic flow during the busy Christmas period.
The regulation, which began today, allows vehicles with odd and even registration numbers to use the roads on alternating days. This strategy has been successful in the past in managing heavy traffic, particularly during long holidays.
"We understand the frustration of motorists stuck in traffic. We urge everyone to cooperate with the traffic plan and stay patient," said a local police spokesperson. "We’re doing our best to ensure everyone reaches their destinations safely and smoothly."
Road users are advised to check the schedule and plan their trips accordingly. The police reminder comes as a timely precaution to prevent gridlock and accidents, ensuring a pleasant journey for all.
