Cisumdawu Toll Road Ready to Serve Eid Holiday Traffic
The operator of the Cisumdawu toll road, PT Citra Karya Jabar Tol (CKJT), has confirmed readiness to serve the Eid holiday traffic flow. The toll road operator has thoroughly prepared various aspects, ranging from standard operating procedures, monitoring equipment, to traffic surveillance systems via CCTV.
Sumedang Regent Dony Ahmad Munir has directly witnessed CKJT’s preparations for the Eid holiday traffic surge. CKJT has been assessed as fully prepared to manage the vehicle flow that will traverse the Cisumdawu toll road.
“CKJT is very well prepared with its operating procedures, equipment, and systems, including the CCTV system that monitors all road users. We are coordinating to ensure that road users passing through the Cisumdawu toll road, God willing, experience smooth, safe, and comfortable passage,” he added.
He stated that a number of supporting facilities for travellers at the Cisumdawu toll road rest areas have begun preparation, with some already operational.
“The rest area is already functional, with some facilities operational. It includes prayer rooms, fuel stations, toilets, and small businesses will be present to serve the needs of holiday travellers,” he added.
Meanwhile, CKJT’s Chief Executive, Agustinus, affirmed the company’s readiness to receive holiday travellers returning to their hometowns via the Cisumdawu toll road.
“We urge road users to remain vigilant because several incidents frequently occurring on this stretch are rear-end collisions due to insufficient caution,” he explained.
He also warned of the potential danger of aquaplaning during rainy conditions. “Aquaplaning occurs when vehicles pass through accumulated water, causing tyres to lose grip and the vehicle to become unstable. We therefore urge drivers to reduce speed during rain.”
Additionally, road users are advised to be careful regarding solid road markings that can become slippery when wet. “Solid uninterrupted markings along the roadside have a glass bead coating that can become slippery when wet. We hope drivers will exercise greater caution to prevent vehicles from skidding or swerving.”
Agustinus expressed that the Cisumdawu toll road offers beautiful natural scenery of Sumedang, which is hoped to become a holiday route that is not only safe but also enjoyable for travellers.
“We hope the Cisumdawu toll road can become a holiday route that is safe, smooth and comfortable while introducing the beauty of Sumedang Regency to road users,” he said.
