Thousands of vehicles traversed the functionally opened\nYogyakarta-Solo toll road segment Prambanan-Purwomartani to support the\n2026 Eid exodus period beginning Monday, 16 April morning, marking H-6\n(six days before Eid) 2026.<\/p>\n
Based on calculations by the Back Office Smart Province DIY on the\nfirst operational day of this segment, the number of vehicles entering\nthe Purwomartani Toll Gate (GT) from 06:00 to 15:00 Western Indonesian\nTime (WIB) recorded 2,808 units.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the highest traffic period occurred between\n14:00-15:00 WIB, recording 566 units.<\/p>\n
An officer at the Purwomartani GT monitoring post, Iptu Nicolas Kus\nIndra Nugroho, stated that based on observations, the situation of\nvehicles entering the Prambanan-Purwomartani segment remained relatively\nsparse.<\/p>\n
He noted that vehicle counts per 30-minute interval averaged only\napproximately 20-25 units. \u201cIt\u2019s not particularly busy for those leaving\nYogyakarta (DIY),\u201d said Nico when interviewed at his post.<\/p>\n
According to Nico, only towards evening was there a noticeable\nincrease in vehicle volume, predominantly originating from the DIY\nregion or greater Solo area based on vehicle plate identification.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the plates are still new, marked AB and AD, these are likely\njust intercity vehicles,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
A significant increase in vehicle volume is predicted to occur only\naround H-1 or H-2 before Eid.<\/p>\n
For information, this 12.25-kilometre toll segment is scheduled to\noperate for the next 14 days, or until 29 March 2026, to support the Eid\nreturn traffic this year.<\/p>\n
Operational hours run from 06:00 to 18:00 WIB, and it should be noted\nthat the segment is functionalised exclusively for vehicles travelling\nfrom the DIY direction towards Klaten, Solo, and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
Although currently toll-free, drivers wishing to traverse the\nPurwomartani Toll to exit DIY are reminded to check their electronic\npayment balance, as they will directly proceed to the Klaten Toll Gate,\nwhich is a paid exit.<\/p>\n
Vehicles entering from Purwomartani Toll cannot exit at Prambanan,\nbut must proceed directly to the Klaten Toll Gate or beyond.<\/p>\n
The segment opened to support Eid exodus traffic is exclusively\ndesignated for Class I vehicles, which include light vehicles such as\nsedans, jeeps, minibuses, pick-up trucks or small lorries, and\nbuses.<\/p>\n
Vehicles using the route are limited to a maximum speed of 40\nkilometres per hour.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, exodus travellers heading to the DIY region from Central\nJava can utilise the exit access via Prambanan Toll Exit or several\nother toll exit gates located in the Klaten area.<\/p>\n
From these exit points, travellers can continue their journey towards\nthe Yogyakarta region and surrounding areas via the arterial routes that\nhave been prepared.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/exodus-traffic-light-on-functional-prambanan-toll-remains-sparse-1773665765", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
