Traffic congestion has begun to emerge on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll\nroad on Saturday (14 March 2026) afternoon as travellers prepare for the\nLebaran holiday marking Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah. Vehicle flow from\nJakarta towards Cikampek has steadily increased as the holiday exodus\ncommences.<\/p>\n
To mitigate mounting congestion, the Traffic Police Corps (Korlantas\nPolri) and PT Jasa Marga have activated a traffic management scheme\ninvolving a one-lane contraflow system towards Cikampek.<\/p>\n
Rising Volume of Holiday Travellers<\/p>\n
Thousands of vehicles, predominantly private cars, have congested the\ntoll route from Jakarta towards Cikampek. The density has resulted in\nall four lanes of the toll road and the hard shoulder being occupied by\nholiday travellers.<\/p>\n
This congested traffic situation has been observed around kilometre\n55 in the Klari district, Karawang Regency, West Java.<\/p>\n
Given the high vehicle volume, lengthy queues of vehicles have\nformed, particularly approaching the rest area at kilometre 57.<\/p>\n
Contraflow System Activated<\/p>\n
To ease traffic congestion, Korlantas Polri and Jasa Marga have\nimplemented a one-lane contraflow system.<\/p>\n
The traffic management measure is scheduled to operate from kilometre\n55 to kilometre 65 on the Cikampek-bound carriageway.<\/p>\n
Police authorities anticipate that vehicle volumes traversing the\ntoll road will continue to rise in the coming days, particularly as the\nLebaran holiday exodus reaches its peak.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/exodus-traffic-intensifies-on-jakarta-cikampek-toll-road-contraflow-system-prepared-from-km-55-1773471351", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
