        "summary": "The Cirebon City Police have modified traffic light timings at the Palimanan intersection to alleviate congestion on the North Coast route during the 2026 Lebaran return traffic. Green light durations from the Bandung direction have been extended from 30 seconds to one minute, while the overall cycle has increased to 3.5 minutes to prioritise main flows and manage the influx of vehicles from Central Java to Jakarta. This measure addresses the surge in traffic volume caused by returning holidaymakers mixing with local vehicles, with police officers manually directing flow to prevent total gridlock.",
