T
he authorities opened 16 payment booths on Sunday at the Palimanan toll gate in Cirebon, West Java, to accommodate long lines of vehicles heading toward Central Java for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
“We opened the booths so that the queues would not be too long,” Cirebon Police chief, AKB Risto Samodra, said as reported by tempo.co.
For the lane heading to Jakarta, only four booths were opened because there was little traffic. The booths in Palimanan will be opened depending on the volume of traffic going to Central Java or Jakarta.
Risto said the traffic on the Cipali toll road and other non-toll roads such as the northern coastal highway (Pantura) was heavy but running smoothly this holiday season.
“However, on the northern coastal highway heading to Cirebon, there is a slight increase in vehicles at certain hours,” Risto said. (ami/ahw)
