At Banyuwangi Market, The joint apparatus controls vehicles parked in restricted areas. Along Jalan Satsuit Tubun is a prohibited parking area, but so far the no-parking signs seem to have been ignored.
There are still many Banyuwangi Market visitors who park in the prohibited location.

Secretary of Dishubkominfo Banyuwangi, Nur Agus Suharto said, The control is a socialization of several restricted areas for vehicle parking. So far, Many motorists do not park their vehicles in an orderly manner, so that the area looks dirty and rundown. "In this outreach, We put forward the persuasive way,explained Nur Agus. Agus revealed, a few years back, Banyuwangi residents' activity on the road continues to increase. Because it keeps increasing, then the awareness of citizens in orderly on the road must be awakened.
Because, if activity on the highway continues to increase and at the same time the awareness of orderly citizens on the road decreases, it will have a negative impact. One of the effects, there is a bottleneck that is difficult to unravel in a short time. "So, Residents must be orderly parking of vehicles. Do not park in an area that has restricted parking,he said. Especially on Jalan Satsuit Tubun, Banyuwangi Market, Motorists were directed by officers to park their vehicles in front of Gedung Juang.
