Nagreg \u2013 A partial one-way traffic strategy is being deployed as the\nmain measure by officers in the field to manage congestion during the\nmudik exodus at Nagreg.<\/p>\n
West Java Police Chief Inspector General Polisi Rudi Setiawan stated\nthat the scheme, which differs from the permanent one-way system, is\nbeing applied situationally based on the length of vehicle queues at\ncongestion-prone points such as Limbangan and Nagreg.<\/p>\n
According to him, the scheme has proven effective in clearing traffic\ncongestion within minutes. Coordination with the West Java Police\nTraffic Directorate is also being conducted to ensure that the tail of\ncongestion does not block vehicle movement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is quite effective \u2013 within a relatively short time, it can clear\nthe traffic flow. This has been proven, just 10 minutes ago, it was\nsaid, and traffic at Limbangan was already flowing smoothly again,\u201d he\nstated on Monday, 16 March 2026.<\/p>\n
He noted that in addition to managing traffic on toll roads,\npersonnel have also been concentrated to maintain smooth flow on\narterial routes from Nagreg to the Central Java border.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday we are also focused on arterial routes. Over the past two days\nwe have been managing traffic on toll road sections. Today we are\nfocusing from Karawang towards the East Priangan area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Based on field observations, he stated that vehicle flow on the sixth\nday before Eid recorded an increase of up to 100 per cent compared to\nnormal days. Despite the increase in vehicle volume, he assured that the\nmovement of returnees towards the East Priangan region remained\nrelatively smooth and controlled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlhamdulillah, there was an increase of 100 per cent, but as we can\nsee together, traffic is quite smooth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The police force predicts that the mudik wave in their area will be\ndivided into two phases. After stable increases today, the second peak\nof mudik traffic is expected to occur on 19-20 March.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems this first increase is relatively still stable. Perhaps the\nsecond peak of mudik traffic is expected on the 19th-20th when there\nwill be an increase in traffic flow. But we, all ranks, are ready,\u201d Rudi\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, data from the Bandung District Transportation Office shows\nthat vehicle volume on the Nagreg route is quite high. Head of Transport\nDevelopment at the Bandung District Transportation Office Eric Alam\nPrabowo stated that by Sunday evening, approximately 43,000 vehicles had\npassed through.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-police-chief-reveals-strategy-to-clear-nagreg-mudik-traffic-congestion-in-just-10-minutes-1773629701", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
