Kepala Korps Lalu Lintas (Kakorlantas) Irjen Agus Suryonugroho, accompanied by Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi and President Director of Jasa Raharja Rivan Purwantono, inspected the traffic flow on the Trans Java toll road to monitor the “mudik” (returning home) exodus after Eid al-Fitr. The officials ensured that efforts were in place to maintain a controlled and safe journey for travelers heading back to major cities, especially Jakarta.
Key Points:
-
Current Traffic Condition: As of now, the traffic flow was reported to be under control, with anticipatory measures in effect.
-
Strategic Actions Taken:
-
Local One-Way Traffic: Local one-way traffic systems were implemented to manage the influx of vehicles heading towards Jakarta. Specific one-way regulations were enforced from kilometer 70 to 36, with lane 2 at Cikampek opened for one-way traffic in the evening.
-
Upcoming National One-Way: The Minister of Transportation and the Chief of Police would establish a national one-way traffic policy from 414 Kalikangkung towards Jakarta on the following day to further ease traffic congestion.
-
Anticipated Peak Period: The peak of the return flow was predicted to occur on Sunday. Continuous monitoring and coordinated efforts aimed to prevent overcrowding and ensure a smooth travel experience.
-
Minister’s Observations: Minister Dudy Purwagandhi noted that the traffic situation remained stable until the evening, expressing hope that the planned national one-way traffic would effectively disperse the traffic towards Jakarta.
