Bandung, W Java (Antara) - The flow of the 2014 Idul Fitri returning holidaymakers along the northern and southern highways of West Java is estimated to be highest on Sunday, according to police. "Police will be swarming throughout the roads, enforcing speed tolerance and regulating traffic as the number of holiday travelers will be high on Friday to peak on Sunday because people have to return to work the next day," West Java police spokesman Senior Commissioner Martinus Sitompul said here on Wednesday. He remarked that the flow of traffic from the east to the west of Jakarta and numerous cities in West Java had started on Wednesday and will continue to increase until Sunday. "We anticipate that the movement of traffic will not pile up in one area, and so we have been doing our best to regulate it optimally," Sitompul said, adding that traffic is expected to remain slow for the next couple of days. Therefore, he called on the drivers to take extra caution, particularly in the areas where traffic density is inevitable, and also rain has made the roads slippery. "Drivers should prepare for a slow trip home, keep left, be patient, have plenty of rest, share the driving, be conscious and considerate, because we really want people to arrive safely from their trips," he remarked.
