Irjen Agus Suryonugroho from the Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) has stated that the annual post-Eid al-Fitr exodus on the Trans Java toll road is currently under control. Various measures have been implemented to ensure the safety and comfort of travelers returning after the Eid festivities.
Key Points:
-
Current Situation: Agus mentioned that the traffic flow is relatively manageable, with traffic engineering efforts, such as local one-way traffic systems, being in place to address the vehicle density towards Jakarta. The peak of the return exodus is expected on Sunday (April 6th).
-
Official Supervision: Agus, along with the Minister of Transportation, Dudy Purwagandhi, and the President Director of the state-owned insurance company PT Jasa Raharja, Rivan Purwantono, conducted inspections in Central Java. They reported the traffic updates to the Minister of Transportation.
-
Strategic Actions: Agus outlined the strategic steps taken by Korlantas, including specific scenarios to regulate the flow of vehicles. This includes implementing one-way traffic on certain sections, such as from kilometer 70 to 36, as well as opening lane 2 for one-way traffic at Cikampek.
-
Upcoming Plans: Tomorrow, the national one-way traffic plan will be enforced from kilometer 414 (Kalikangkung) towards Jakarta, led by the Minister of Transportation and the Chief of Police. The authorities aim to further ease the traffic congestion using this initiative.
Minister Dudy Purwagandhi expressed satisfaction that the return exodus was still running smoothly until the evening. He hoped that tomorrow’s implementation of the national one-way traffic system would help alleviate the traffic towards Jakarta.
