26,000 Vehicles Leave Puncak Bogor

After having applied a one-way system from Puncak to Jakarta for about four hours, the Puncak Bogor tourist route tonight, Wednesday (26/4/2023), implemented a normal two-way policy.

Kasatlantas Bogor Police AKP Dicky Anggi Pranata revealed that around 26,000 cars have returned to Jakarta today, this number is far lower than one day yesterday which reached 50,000 vehicles.

As observed in drone footage in the Simpang Gadog area, Wednesday night, traffic from Puncak to Jakarta and before that has returned to normal. Two lanes of vehicles can now go because the police have returned to normalize the flow of vehicles since 17.30 this evening.

Dicky revealed, since this morning until this evening at least 26,000 four-wheeled vehicles have returned to Jakarta after enjoying holidays in various areas in Puncak.

“Today it is observed that the return flow is dominated, already 26,000 vehicles heading to Jakarta,” said Dicky Wednesday night.

Even though the two-way traffic went smoothly, Dicky revealed that there were still congestion points, such as the Pasir Muncang, Pasir Angin, and Megamendung intersections, which were caused by the narrowing of the lanes.

“We hope that road users will be patient and stay in line so that the flow can run smoothly,” he continued.

It is estimated that the traffic density of tourist vehicles heading to Puncak will occur again on the upcoming holiday weekend.

“Weekends are expected to increase again because school children are still on holiday,” he continued.
