Irjen Agus Suryonugroho, the head of the Indonesian Traffic Police, has stated that the annual post-Eid al-Fitr exodus on the Trans-Java Toll Road is currently under control. Various measures have been taken to ensure the safe and comfortable return of travelers after the Eid holidays. Traffic management strategies, including local one-way traffic systems, have been implemented to handle the influx of vehicles heading towards Jakarta.
Key Points:
-
Peak Exodus Predicted: The peak of the return flow is expected to occur on Sunday (April 6).
-
Current Assessment: As of Saturday (April 5), officials, including the Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi, and the President Director of the national insurance company Jasa Raharja, Rivan Purwantono, assessed the traffic situation at the Banyumanik Toll Gate in Central Java. They reported to the media that the traffic was relatively controlled.
-
Strategic Actions: To manage the increased traffic volume, strategic measures have been taken. These include implementing one-way traffic from kilometer 70 to 36 and opening the second lane for one-way traffic in Cikampek.
-
Upcoming Plans: Tomorrow, the national one-way traffic flow from 414 Kalikangkung towards Jakarta will be enforced, following the directives of the Minister of Transportation and the Chief of Police. The authorities aim to further alleviate traffic congestion with this initiative.
Minister Dudy Purwagandhi expressed satisfaction with the current traffic flow and hopes that the planned national one-way system will effectively disperse the traffic towards Jakarta. The authorities continue to monitor and adjust their strategies to ensure a smooth return journey for holidaymakers.
