The fame of the Canggu area affects the traffic there. Tourists who go there will feel that the traffic jams are getting worse.

The Canggu area and its surroundings are increasingly jammed, with peak hours experiencing standstill traffic and significant delays, a condition residents and tourists widely complain about.

The growing tourism activities in the Berawa and Canggu areas inevitably contribute to the congestion, a fact that all residents and tourists should be aware of.

Traffic congestion was common on the Canggu shortcut on Tuesday, July 16, 2024. This scene resonates with many of us, having experienced it at some point.

In a video shared by the account @mega_sriantari via @punapibali, the queue of vehicles snakes very long, both from the left and right.

It even looks like the traffic jam has trapped several motorists who cannot move along the shortcut road.

But amid the traffic jam, a male tourist riding a motorcycle was seen casually lying on the motorbike.

The foreign tourist allegedly did this because he was bored of being stuck in a traffic jam.

But when there is movement, the tourist rushes down and rides his motorbike to get through the severe traffic jam in the Canggu shortcut.

In addition to using a motorcycle, you can also try to walk to avoid traffic jams. In addition, by walking, you can more easily find exciting tourist attractions in Canggu.

If you want to try a more relaxed approach, you can take an online motorcycle taxi. Online motorcycles are easy to find in Canggu, and the price is quite affordable.

Besides using motorized vehicles, you can also choose to take public transportation.

Although it is rather difficult to find buses that go directly to tourist attractions in Canggu, you can still take advantage of this public transportation to avoid congestion on the road.

To avoid traffic jams in Canggu, you should avoid busy times such as after work or during long holidays.

You can also look for alternative routes that do not pass through congested main roads. That way, you can still enjoy your vacation in Canggu without worrying about getting stuck in traffic.

Additionally, consider using traffic apps to monitor road conditions and plan your route accordingly.
