Dishub Evaluation of Flow Changes
BANYUWANGI – Trial of changes in traffic flow on Jalan PB. Sudirman is starting to be evaluated. Evaluation result, there are several roads that have changed settings. Evaluation conducted by the Road Transport Traffic Forum (LLAJ) focused on two points that are prone to traffic jams and accidents. The two points are the intersection of Gedung Juang and the Surati intersection on Jalan Sayuwiwit. Head of the Department of Transportation, Telecommunication, and Informatics (Dishubkominfo) Nur Agus Suharto through the Head of Land Transportation Hendra Les where said, in order to overcome the trouble at these two points, the flow of vehicles must be changed.
The flow of vehicles from Simpang Lima that passes through Jalan dr. Soetomo is currently directly passing through Jalan dr. Wa hidin Sudirohusodo. Previously, vehicles from the direction of Jalan dr. Soetomo (in front of Telkom office) can pass through Jalan Diponegoro or in front of Gesibu. At the moment, Diponegoro Street in front of Gesibu can only be passed by vehicles from Jalan Susuit Tuban and Jalan Vetaran "Vehicles from Jalan dr.. Soetomo can't turn left anymore and has to go straight to Jalan dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo,"explained Hendra.
The change in the flow of vehicles is due to traffic chaos at the Juang Building intersection. Vehicles coming from the south often collide with vehicles coming from Jalan Susut Tubun. With that fox, Hendra said, then the second vulnerable point (Simpang Surati) can be decomposed. Because, Vehicles coming from the Perliman direction no longer pass through Jalan Diponegoro, but through Jalan Ban Bright. “This route change can break down the congestion that often occurs at Simpang Surati,” he said.
In general, Hendra said, PB Jalan Road flow change trial. Sudirman was quite successful because since it was tested 3 April 2013 no accident. “After the change of current, no accident reports from the police. Smooth traffic flow,He said. The LLAJ Forum will continue to evaluate changes in the flow of vehicles on Jalan PB. Sudirman.
