However, if the V\/C Ratio figures show a\ndecrease, the traffic will be returned to normal mode,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Ministry of Transportation will continue to monitor\nvehicle movements passing through the Trans Java Toll, while\ncontinuously coordinating with the Police and Jasa Marga.
