In June, a 5km journey in Canggu, Bali, that normally takes 10-15 minutes is taking over an hour due to severe traffic congestion.
Balinese officials have stated there are limited options to ease the congestion.
The Badung Transportation Agency head, AA Ngurah Gde Rahmadi, said that the narrow roads in Canggu are heavily trafficked, making traffic engineering measures like one-way systems difficult.
A once-popular backstreet shortcut between Jalan Raya Canggu and Jalan Pantai Berawa is also frequently congested.
Officials are reviewing options with stakeholders but note that long-term solutions require cooperation between multiple agencies and enforcement by police.
During the peak tourist season, drivers are advised to allow extra travel time.
