Rancakmedia.com – The opening of the Pangandaran Recreational Object, West Java, during the New Year holiday season makes the Tasikmalaya area a special route for visitors from the big cities of Bandung and Jakarta.

The Tasikmalaya Police Traffic Unit (Satlantas) wrote that there are 5 accident risk points along the Gentong "skull" lane, Tasikmalaya. The Gentong lane itself is known to have winding lanes with steep climbs and descents along with a ravine to the left of the road.

"We asked several drivers to be alert when passing through the Gentong lane. "There are 5 risk points for accidents along this route, namely Simpang 3 Pamoyanan, Gentong Bawah, Gentong Atas, Leter U Strawberry-Kadipaten and Trowek-Kadipaten Bridge," explained the Head of the Tasikmalaya Police Traffic Unit, AKP Bayu Tri Nugraha, to reporters, Monday (28/ 12/2020).

According to Bayu, when the New Year holiday season entered during the Corona outbreak, there was no significant flow of vehicles. However, according to information at the Pangandaran Recreation Center, all accommodation facilities are full and visitors are starting to increase.

So, it is believed that the arrival of visitors from several big cities does not increase all at once and generally do not arrive in groups.

However, when the flow returns, some visitors returning to several big cities will generally be together and it is predicted that there will be congestion in the Gentong area, Tasikmalaya.

"We predict that the return flow in the future will actually be dense, because generally they will return at the same time as returning to several big cities. What's more, so far it's only Pangandaran, the place tour "popular in West Java where it was opened and visited by several tourists," added Bayu.

He asked all drivers to be more alert when traveling on the Gentong-Tasikmalaya route. What's more, so far the area has special access to Pangandaran for travelers from several big cities.

Prepare your vehicle and physical driving and continue to be alert in risky areas and don't be too strong on a motorbike or car. "Prepare everything starting from the vehicle and physically after going on holiday when traveling through accident-risk routes. We provide rest positions for motorists in the Letter U Gentong area. "So, if you are tired, don't force it, rest first in the rest area that has been prepared," he said.
