The Cimahi Police are preparing to face potential traffic congestion\nin West Bandung District (KBB), Cimahi City, West Java, and Margaasih as\na result of the implementation of one-way traffic on the Trans Java toll\nroad during the Eid al-Fitr holiday period for the year 1447 Hijriah.\nHowever, the impact of the one-way implementation had not yet been\nobserved in the Cimahi Police\u2019s jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will certainly be impacts from the national one-way activity\nfrom Jakarta to Java. In our area we have the Padalarang, Baros 1 and 2,\nand Margaasih toll gates which may receive an overflow of vehicles due\nto the national one-way implementation,\u201d said Cimahi Police Chief AKBP\nNiko Nurallah Adi Putra at Padalarang on Tuesday (16 March 2026).<\/p>\n
However, based on police monitoring, as of four days before Eid,\nthere had been no significant increase in vehicles entering and passing\nthrough the Cimahi Police\u2019s jurisdiction. Neither through arterial roads\nfrom Purwakarta or Cianjur nor from the toll gates.<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil now, regarding the traffic situation coming into our area,\neither through arterial roads from Padalarang to Cimahi City or\nCikalongwetan or from several toll gates, it still appears relatively\nnormal. There is an increase but it is not yet significant,\u201d said\nNiko.<\/p>\n
Despite the absence of significant congestion, police working with\nrelevant stakeholders have already prepared traffic management schemes.\nTraffic engineering schemes involving partial one-way implementation\nhave been prepared to ease congestion.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course there will be engineering with partial one-way from\nnorth-south or from west to east or vice versa,\u201d said Niko.<\/p>\n
The Cimahi Police\u2019s congestion resolution team is also ready to be\ndeployed for the security of the Lodaya 2026 operation on holiday and\ntourism routes. They will be on standby to assist holiday travellers and\ntourists whilst easing traffic congestion with humanitarian service.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have directed 103 of our personnel specifically for the\ncongestion resolution team,\u201d said Niko.<\/p>\n
He stated that the resolution team would be divided across three\ndesignated zones. The northern zone includes the areas of Lembang,\nCisarua and Parongpong. In addition to alternative holiday route access,\nthese areas are also predicted to be crowded during the Eid al-Fitr 2026\nholiday.<\/p>\n
Then there is the western zone from Cipatat and Cikalongwetan to the\nPadalarang area, which is the main route for holiday travellers using\nmotorcycles in particular, and the eastern zone from Padalarang towards\nCimahi City, which is the main access route for holiday travellers\nheading towards the Bandung and East Priangan regions such as Garut,\nTasik and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe divided it into three zones that require security, namely the\nnorthern zone, then also the western zone and the eastern zone,\u201d said\nNiko.<\/p>\n
Niko continued that more than 600 police personnel would be deployed\nto escort and secure the outbound and return traffic flow during Eid\n2026 in the Cimahi Police\u2019s jurisdiction. They will serve during the\nKetupat Lodaya 2026 operation period, which runs from 13-25 March\n2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a demonstration of our readiness to receive or manage the\nEid or Hari Raya Idulfitri holiday activities for the year 1447 Hijriah.\nThe number of personnel is 667 spread out, with the operation lasting\napproximately 13 days,\u201d said Niko.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/cimahi-police-prepare-scheme-to-address-traffic-congestion-from-one-way-implementation-on-trans-java-toll-road-1773751949", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
