Jakarta (B2B) - Sejumlah titik jalan yang masih digenangi air di Jakarta membuat arus lalulintas tersendat, bahkan hingga macet total. Untuk mengurai kemacetan, sebanyak 5 ribu personel kepolisian dari Polda Metro Jaya dikerahkan mengatur kesemrawutan lalulintas yang diakibatkan banjir.
"Setiap harinya kita kerahkan 5 ribu personel Polantas untuk mengatur lalulintas saat musim banjir ini," ujar Kombes Pol Nurhadi Yuwono, Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya, Selasa (21/1).
Nurhadi menyebutkan, beberapa jalan yang menjadi prioritas diurai kemacetannya karena adanya genangan antara lain daerah Pancoran, kawasan Semanggi, Jl HR Rasuna Said, Jl Jenderal Gatot Subroto, Jl Jenderal Sudirman, dan pintu keluar masuk tol dalam kota.
Menurutnya, banyak pengendara yang melintas ke jalur alternatif saat jalan utama terendam air. Di jalur tersebut diketahui banyak persimpangan sehingga terkadang tak terpantau oleh petugas. Oleh karena itu, pihaknya terus berkoordinasi dengan Traffic Management Center (TMC) Polda Metro Jaya.
"Kami selalu berusaha meng-update informasi baru di lapangan. Saya harap masyarakat juga demikian, kalau memang warga harus melalui jalur alternatif ya harus diperhitungkan. Jika genangan tidak terlalu dalam dan memungkinkan dilewati maka kendaraan dapat berjalan pelan-pelan. Kalau memang tidak terlalu penting, warga diharapkan tidak keluar rumah," imbaunya.
Jakarta (B2B) - The never ending inundations on city streets are making traffic in many areas congested until gridlocked. To parse the congestion, Jakarta Police deploy 5,000 personnel to regulate the chaotic traffic caused by flood.
“Every day we deploy 5,000 traffic police officers to regulate the traffic in this flood season,” stated Jakarta Police Traffic Directorate Chief, Sr. Comr. Nurhadi Yuwono, Tuesday (1/21).
According to Yuwono, some priority locations where traffic congestion needs to be parsed are Pancoran, Semanggi, Jl. HR Rasuna Said, Jl. Jenderal Gatot Subroto, Jl. Jenderal Sudirman, and entrance-exit city toll gates.
Moreover, his party is also coordinating with Jakarta Police Traffic Management Center (TMC) to monitor the traffic. This is because many motorists are going through alternative routes since the main roads are inundated. And in those routes, there are a lot of intersections which cannot be monitored by his personnel.
“We’re always trying to update new information in the field. I hope the residents can do so as well, because calculation is need before going through alternative routes. If the inundations not too deep and possible to go through, walk slowly. If there is no urgent matter, the residents are expected not to go outside their houses,” finished Yuwono.
