Long road to Puncak

Long road to Puncak

From Merdeka

It appears that Saturday and Sunday traffic jams on the Puncak road are hard to overcome. Travelers to the mountain resort find their patience sorely tried, despite the presence of traffic officers along the route.

The same goes for visitors to Taman Safari Indonesia in Cisarua, in which traffic is congested from the toll gate right through Puncak Pass. Drivers have to resist the temptation to squeeze in front of other drivers. It doesn't bear thinking about the situation which would result if Bandung traffic to Jakarta was not diverted to Purwakarta every Saturday and Sunday.

I suggest speedy construction of an alternative road to lessen these Puncak road jams. This would lighten the burden and the long wait in traffic to Puncak.
