        "content": "<p>PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk has projected that the peak outbound\ntraffic during the 2026 Eid holiday exodus will occur on 18 March,\nwhilst the peak return traffic is expected on 24 March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn estimated 3.5 million vehicles are expected, with the peak\noutbound exodus occurring on 18 March. However, we anticipate traffic\nwill begin building from this coming Friday,\u201d said Jasa Marga Chief\nExecutive Officer Rivan A. Purwantono during a media briefing in\nJatiasih, Bekasi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>With an extended holiday period providing an ideal travel window,\nroad users will attempt to time their journeys for comfort both during\nthe outbound and return journeys. The peak return traffic is anticipated\non 24 March, as travellers seek to balance family visits with\ncommitments back in Jakarta.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rivan, traffic distribution will vary across different\nroutes: 28 per cent is expected to head towards Merak, 50 per cent\ntowards the eastern routes including Cipularang, and approximately 20\nper cent towards Bogor. The eastern route requires particular attention,\nwith traffic further dividing into 57 per cent heading towards Trans\nJawa and 42 per cent towards Cipularang. Notably, congestion at\nkilometre 66 typically occurs due to higher vehicle volumes \u2014\napproximately 50 per cent \u2014 heading towards the Trans Jawa route.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi stated that the\nheaviest outbound congestion is projected for 16-18 March based on\ntraffic movement simulations. The government has proposed implementing a\nwork-from-anywhere (WFA) policy to help mitigate holiday season\ncongestion, which has received presidential approval.<\/p>\n<p>The government plans to implement the WFA policy for five days during\nthe Eid holiday period to distribute public movement and prevent traffic\nconcentrations on specific dates.<\/p>",
