Cianjur Prioritizes Road Signs, Streetlights on Tourist Routes for Visitor Comfort

The Transportation Agency of Cianjur Regency, West Java, is focusing on improving road infrastructure in tourist areas. The agency is prioritizing the installation of new traffic signs and public streetlights (PJU) along routes leading to popular tourist destinations.

This year, we are prioritizing the areas leading to tourist destinations, with new installations covering urban areas, the northern region, and parts of the southern region at critical points.

This effort is designed to ensure a safer and more comfortable experience for tourists visiting the region. Iqbal Safarudin, Head of the Traffic Division at the Cianjur Transportation Agency, stated that while new sign installations occur annually, the scope is limited by budget constraints. The agency is proceeding with these improvements in phases, covering urban areas, northern regions, and parts of the southern area deemed critical.

Safarudin emphasized the importance of directional, warning, and prohibitory signs as crucial guides for drivers, especially tourists unfamiliar with the area. These signs not only help visitors reach their destinations but also enhance road safety by increasing driver awareness. The agency is also working on repairing existing damaged facilities, particularly on roads leading to tourist spots, within the available budget.

The budget for adding road support facilities each year is always available but limited in value, so we are also maximizing the repair of damaged road support facilities at several points, especially leading to tourist destinations, in accordance with the budget.

To combat ongoing traffic violations, especially by public transport drivers who frequently stop in prohibited zones, the agency is intensifying persuasive and educational actions. They are urging drivers to adhere to traffic signs and encouraging general motorists to use designated parking areas to maintain smooth traffic flow within the city. The agency's officers regularly conduct these outreach efforts with drivers and vehicle owners.

Cianjur Transportation Agency officers routinely conduct persuasive and educational actions against drivers who violate, including intensifying socialization to drivers and transport owners as well as general drivers to obey the installed signs.
