        "summary": "The Badung Regency Transportation Agency has made the traffic management scheme in the Pecatu-Uluwatu area permanent following a successful one-month trial that eased congestion in the South Kuta tourist zone. The decision, endorsed by multiple agencies, includes a new permanent entry ban from Jalan Raya Uluwatu to Gang Batu Nunggul. While the policy is binding, police will only issue fines after the regent's official decree is published.",
        "content": "<p>The Badung Regency Transportation Agency (Dishub), together with the\nTraffic and Road Transport Forum (LLAJ), has permanently implemented\ntraffic engineering in the Pecatu-Uluwatu area starting Thursday\n(2\/7\/2026). The move follows a month-long trial deemed effective in\nunravelling congestion points leading to the tourist area in South Kuta.\n\u201cThe decision to maintain this scheme is because it is considered\neffective and there is no change in the operational formation on the\nground. There is only the addition of one \u2018no entry\u2019 sign from Jalan\nRaya Uluwatu towards Gang Batu Nunggul without the imposition of\noperational hours,\u201d said Head of the Badung Transportation Agency, Anak\nAgung Gede Rahmadi. The permanent status was agreed upon through a\ncross-agency evaluation meeting involving the Bali Class II Land\nTransportation Management Centre (BPTD), the police, sub-district\nofficials, and local village authorities. Although the policy is now\nbinding, the imposition of fines for violators will only be enforced by\nthe police after the Badung Regent\u2019s Decree (SK) is officially issued.\n\u201cThe majority of residents responded positively because the flow of\nvehicles now feels smoother and travel is comfortable,\u201d Rahmadi\nexplained. The focus of the traffic flow arrangement targets six crucial\nintersections, with the main priority on the Jalan Toya Ning II-Jalan\nRaya Uluwatu intersection and the Jalan Baler Setra-Jalan Blimbing Sari\nintersection. Under the new rules, vehicles from Jalan Raya Uluwatu are\nprohibited from turning directly onto Jalan Toya Ning II. Meanwhile, the\nopposite flow from Jalan Toya Ning II is only allowed to turn left\ntowards Pecatu and is strictly prohibited from turning right towards\nUngasan from 17.00 to 22.00 WITA. \u201cThe current road capacity is indeed\nthe only main access to the Uluwatu area, so in the short term this\nengineering must be carried out because tourists keep arriving. For the\nlong term, the Regent has actually planned the construction of a ring\nroad as a permanent solution to facilitate access,\u201d Rahmadi revealed. In\naddition to restrictions in the Toya Ning area, arrangements also apply\nto vehicles from the Jalan Baler Setra-Jalan Blimbing Sari intersection,\nwhich are prohibited from turning west towards Jalan Raya Uluwatu. The\nban on turning west at the intersection applies to all types of\nvehicles, except motorcycles. \u201cTo be effective, this arrangement will\nsee joint inter-agency officers remain on standby at their respective\nposts throughout the afternoon to evening operational hours. Periodic\nguarding is carried out from the Pecatu Village Office junction, Simpang\nToya Ning, Simpang Nirmala, to the Bali State Polytechnic Junction in\ncollaboration with community protection units (Linmas), the police, and\nthe Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP),\u201d Rahmadi concluded.<\/p>",
