PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk has recorded the highest vehicle volume\nin the history of Indonesia\u2019s Eid exodus. This record occurred during\nthe peak of the exodus on Wednesday (18\/3).<\/p>\n
Jasa Marga\u2019s President Director, Rivan A. Purwantono, stated that the\npeak mudik traffic volume served by Jasa Marga reached 270,315 vehicles.\nThis figure represents a 98.3% increase from normal conditions and a\n4.6% rise from the 2025 Eid mudik peak.<\/p>\n
The figure is the cumulative traffic flow from four toll gates:\nCikupa GT (westbound), Ciawi GT (southbound), and Cikampek GT and\nKalihurip Utama GT (eastbound).<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only exiting through the four main toll gates. We also recorded\nthe highest peak in serving traffic flow to the Trans Java Toll Road to\ndate, reaching 175,754 vehicles. This is a 6% increase compared to last\nyear\u2019s mudik peak,\u201d said Rivan in a written statement on Friday\n(20\/3).<\/p>\n
Rivan explained that although the number of vehicles passing through\nJasa Marga Group\u2019s toll roads reached a record high, traffic conditions\nwere well-controlled due to effective traffic engineering in alleviating\ncongestion.<\/p>\n
\u201cTraffic congestion was monitored on the MBZ Elevated Road and the\nlower Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road. To anticipate the surge in vehicle\nvolume, Jasa Marga, together with the Police, has implemented traffic\nengineering in the form of contraflow from one lane to three lanes, up\nto the implementation of a national one-way system from KM 70 to KM\n414,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe vehicle volume passing through both sections was recorded as the\nhighest in the history of their operation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Rivan noted that according to the prepared traffic engineering\nscenario, congestion is targeted to be maximally cleared within 1x12\nhours. On Thursday (19\/3) at 11:00 WIB, traffic conditions were reported\nto have returned to smooth with average vehicle speeds back to\nnormal.<\/p>\n
\u201cJasa Marga will continue to optimise the use of technology as a\ndecision support system that supports traffic engineering decisions\ndetermined by the Police based on the latest field conditions,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Rivan advised the public to plan their journeys even\nbetter by avoiding the peak return flow expected on 24 March 2026 (H+3\nEid).<\/p>\n
He also urged the public to take advantage of the toll fee discounts\nthat will be applied during the return flow period from 26 March 2026 at\n00:00 WIB until 27 March 2026 at 00:00 WIB.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs with the mudik flow, Jasa Marga once again urges the public to\nmanage the return departure times to support smooth traffic flow so that\nthe travel experience during the 2026 Eid mudik and return becomes safer\nand more comfortable,\u201d said Rivan.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jasa-marga-records-highest-vehicle-volume-in-mudik-history-1774011081", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
