Deputy Transportation Minister Bambang Susantono states, the path along the five kilometers in circumference Nagreg, which connects with the Garut district of Bandung Regency is ready to use public transportation during Lebaran 2010 (1431 H) of this.
However, Bambang asked to Affair in West Java to complete with traffic signs at various points and corners. While the users are requested to remain cautious, especially on the ramp after a railroad, because the uphill road conditions with a fairly steep angle.
Vice Minister Bambang Susantono who accompanied the Ministry of Transportation Directorate General of Land Perhungan Suroyo Alimoeso and Head of Department of Transportation Dicky Saromi Porpinsi West Java, Saturday (04/09) conduct inspections to Nagreg ring road. The purpose and goal is to see directly the readiness of the line is well tested path.
”In principle, this path is ready for use as a point in the flow or reverse flow back and forth on this Lebaran 2010. However, there are currents in the fix and is equipped, especially the traffic signs whose numbers are still very minimal,”Bambang said after trying that route.
After trying to own the new lines, new paving Wamenhub said that although a single layer, but the road is flat and does not cause shock. ”I have asked the Transportation Department in west Java to immediately install traffic signs to others, especially in a number of fairly sharp corners,”said an immediate Wamenhub affordable Jabar Head of Department of Transportation.
Not rapihnya curb form cliffs and the red soil is also a concern Wamenhub. Possibility of landslides on the left and right walls should also be given special attention, considering expected during Lebaran transport of high rainfall will be enough. Which must in order to try is always a dry road. Because if the streets were inundated while still very low lighting conditions, it is very dangerous to road users.
Besides the lack of traffic signs that are available, Wamenhub also reminded to immediately add roadway lighting. Under the new monitoring currently available www.dephub.go.id two warning light that is placed about 200 meters from the bridge and around the bridge Citiis Ciherang.
While lighting is installed with a new solar cell technology in the five points are in areas considered vulnerable, and require adequate lighting. ”This amount is not sufficient for new areas in the open. I have also asked the Head of Department of Transportation to add back Jabar roadway lighting,”said Bambang.
Solar Cell Technology is perceived as the right technology for today, remember this point there is no electricity. Understandably this new path Nagreg circumference was once a hill by local people planted cassava, beans and corn. Because of the lack of electricity also, later on the left and right side will be mounted spotlight with using diesel power. Spotlight is very necessary because there are some parts of the left or right side of a ravine. When not given the spotlight is very dangerous to motorists who drove his vehicle in this lane at night.
Floodlights will also be prepared at the post near the ramp, to illuminate the road around the hill. Aside from being a torch as well as markers that are no posts in the area officer who is ready to assist road users.
One of the things that need to get the attention of road users on the path to it is the slope angle is still fairly steep slope that is 14%. This slope was still lower than those in jalaur Nagreg ie with a slope of 18%. But considering this line are new, particularly motorists who are old cars or car transport truck with a weight should beware.
Narrowness of this point to make motorists should not drive their vehicles quickly. Yes safest around 40-60 kilometers per hour.
In the trial yesterday there was one vehicle, the Mitsubishi Colt T 120 SS with a police number 8373 TD D carrying rice from the direction of Garut could not climb and stopped. Similarly, one forced Jimny cars were underpinned by the officers to get past the steep incline.
Director General of Land Transportation Suroyo Alimoeso say, this area is quite prone to older vehicles or vehicles with heavy loads. For that he reminds motorists to use a tooth gears. ”If late pass from the bottom, I fear these vehicles can not climb past it,”said Suroyo saying will melengapi with billboards warning “Use your teeth first”
This 14-degree incline by Suroyo will be back in trim after the feedback ended. After Lebaran, this track will be back in tuup and ascent is still 14 degrees this position will be broken down again and changed to 8 degrees.
Anticipate the occurrence of congestion as a result of the stalled car on the ramp, Wamenhub ask that in these locations prepare a car in tow and service the car, in anticipation of a vehicle when there is a problem. In addition, should also be placed officers who can move fast or Timm response is always standby in those locations. (BRD / Team)
