The Head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) Polri,\nInspector General Agus Suryonugroho, has urged drivers not to rest on\nroad shoulders. He reminded of the predicted high volume of Eid return\ntraffic that will begin tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe phenomenon of parking on toll road shoulders and resting on toll\nroads must not occur. However, it still happens frequently, especially\nbefore breaking the fast yesterday, and during pre-dawn meals at certain\nhours, with some still parking on road shoulders,\u201d said Inspector\nGeneral Agus to reporters on Monday (23\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
Inspector General Agus stated that several traffic policies have been\nprepared to handle the Eid return traffic. However, he also called on\ndrivers to drive orderly so that traffic congestion does not occur.<\/p>\n
He urged drivers not to stop to rest on toll road shoulders or force\ntheir way into full rest areas, leading to vehicle build-ups at the\nlocations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that road users will respectfully plan their journeys well,\nwhere they must rest\u2014perhaps exiting the toll road for a short\nrelaxation or dining on county roads, then re-entering the toll road.\nThis way, it does not disrupt the journeys of our fellow travellers,\nespecially when there will be a significant surge,\u201d stated Inspector\nGeneral Agus.<\/p>\n
National One-Way Return Traffic to Commence on 24 March at 2:00 PM\nWIB<\/p>\n
Kakorlantas stated that the national one-way return traffic will\nstart tomorrow at 2:00 PM WIB. The one-directional traffic engineering\nsystem will run from Km 414 of the Kalikangkung Toll to Km 70 of the\nCikampek Utama Toll.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe priority for high traffic is the national one-way return\ntraffic, which will be implemented on the 24th tomorrow at 2:00 PM, with\nthe flag-off directly led by the National Police Chief and several\nattending Ministers,\u201d said Inspector General Agus.<\/p>\n
Inspector General Agus said the national one-way return traffic\npolicy could be extended until Thursday (26\/3) if the flow of vehicles\ntowards Jakarta is classified as high. He hopes the public can manage\ntheir return times to avoid vehicle pile-ups.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if the one-way return traffic on the 24th is dense, on the 25th\nwe will extend it and conduct another one-way. So there will be one-way\non the 24th, 25th, up to the 26th, as long as there is still traffic\ngeneration, we will open it again,\u201d said Kakorlantas.<\/p>\n
Inspector General Agus assured that the Polri Traffic Corps is ready\nto handle the Eid return traffic with several traffic engineering\nsystems. However, he also advised mudik participants not to force\nthemselves to return to Jakarta tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe suggest to our brothers and sisters who are currently mudik not\nto depart on the 24th. It can be on the 26th or 27th; there is work from\nanywhere, the country provides flexibility to choose journeys so that\ndense pile-ups do not occur,\u201d concluded Inspector General Agus.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/eid-return-traffic-traffic-corps-chief-urges-drivers-not-to-rest-on-road-shoulders-1774259475", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
