Kakorlantas Memastikan Kondisi Lalu Lintas Tol Trans Jawa Terkendali saat Arus Balik

Irjen Agus Suryonugroho, the head of the Indonesian Traffic Police (Kakorlantas), has stated that the post-Eid al-Fitr homecoming traffic flow on the Trans Java Toll Road is currently under control. Various measures have been implemented to ensure the safety and convenience of travelers returning after Eid al-Fitr. Traffic management, including localized one-way traffic arrangements, has been put in place to address the congestion towards Jakarta. The peak of the return traffic is predicted to occur on Sunday (April 6th).

Agus, accompanied by the Minister of Transportation, Dudy Purwagandhi, and the President Director of the state-owned insurance company Jasa Raharja, Rivan Purwantono, provided updates during an inspection at the Banyumanik Toll Gate in Central Java on Saturday (April 5th). They reported to the media on the current traffic conditions as they monitored the situation.

Agus mentioned that strategic measures have been taken to manage the increased volume of vehicles, such as implementing traffic dispersal scenarios. These include localized one-way traffic from kilometer 70 to 36, and on Saturday night, a second lane one-way arrangement was opened at Cikampek. Additionally, a long series of localized one-way traffic will be enforced from kilometer 414 (Kalikangkung) towards Jakarta on Sunday, led by the Minister of Transportation and the National Police Chief. The authorities hope that these measures will help control this year’s return traffic.

Minister Dudy Purwagandhi expressed satisfaction with the smooth flow of traffic as of Saturday night and anticipated that the upcoming national one-way traffic plan would further ease congestion towards Jakarta. He emphasized the importance of these coordinated efforts to ensure the safety and convenience of all travelers.
