        "summary": "The Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) has outlined comprehensive strategies to manage post-Lebaran traffic surges, focusing on return flows from long-distance travel and local mobility in urban agglomerations such as Jabodetabek, Solo Raya, and Bali. Drawing from mudik traffic data showing 66% of vehicles heading to Trans Java, measures include deploying security posts, service points, and integrated checkpoints, alongside traffic engineering like contraflow and the full activation of the Japek II South Toll Road to alleviate congestion. These preparations aim to ensure smoother traffic flow and road safety amid heightened activity at tourist sites and ports, building on lessons from previous years.",
        "content": "<p>The Head of Korlantas Polri, Inspector General of Police Agus\nSuryonugroho, has outlined traffic anticipation measures following\nLebaran, particularly to address the surge in return flows and movements\nin various urban agglomerations. He noted that potential congestion\nstems not only from long-distance return traffic but also from local\ninter-regional mobility in areas such as Jabodetabek, Solo Raya,\nSemarang Raya, Malang Raya, and Bali. All police units have been\nmobilised through security posts, service posts, and integrated posts.\n\u201cRegarding anticipation after H+1 Lebaran, agglomerations from Solo\nRaya, Semarang Raya, including Jabodetabek, Bali, and Malang Raya, have\nbeen anticipated through security posts, service posts, and integrated\nposts in each Polda,\u201d Agus said at the Korlantas Polri Command Centre in\nCikampek on Saturday (21\/3\/2026). He explained that the return flow\nstrategy was formulated based on traffic counting data during the mudik\nperiod. Vehicle movements towards Trans Java dominate at around 66 per\ncent, while those towards West Java account for about 33 per cent. This\ndistribution, Agus clarified, forms the basis for traffic engineering\narrangements during the peak return flow. Traffic management is focused\non critical points prone to high congestion. \u201cFrom the traffic counting\npercentage, those heading to Trans Java are approximately 66 per cent,\nwhile to West Java around 33 per cent. This will be managed during the\nreturn flow,\u201d he stated. To ease congestion from West Java, Korlantas\nhas prepared the utilisation of the Japek II South Toll Road. This route\nhas been tested and will be fully operational during the peak return\nflow. Agus conveyed that the presence of this alternative route is\nexpected to reduce the burden on main roads, especially at narrowing\npoints that have previously been congestion bottlenecks. \u201cAlhamdulillah,\nfor vehicles from West Java, the solution is quite strategic because\nJapek II South has already been tested. During the peak return flow, it\nwill be fully opened from Sadang to Setu,\u201d said the two-star general.\nSecurity is also focused on tourist areas and ports expected to see\nincreased activity. Arrangements for entry flows, parking pockets, and\nvehicle movements have been prepared involving various parties. Agus\nassessed that managing tourist sites is a crucial part of maintaining\ntraffic smoothness. Experiences from previous years serve as the basis\nfor refining security schemes. \u201cIllegal parking has actually been\nanticipated from the start through coordination meetings. Even the\nGovernor of West Java has paid attention to this,\u201d he said. He added\nthat agglomeration movements are a primary concern on H+1 Lebaran and\nsubsequent days. Short-distance inter-regional mobility is expected to\nincrease with community silaturahmi activities. All personnel are urged\nto remain vigilant in monitoring these dynamics, both on toll roads and\narterial routes. \u201cThat\u2019s what is called agglomeration, from Jabodetabek,\nSolo Raya, to Malang Raya and Bali. This has been anticipated and is\nexpected to be congested starting tomorrow,\u201d Agus said. The evaluation\nof the mudik flow serves as the basis for the return flow strategy.\nVehicle volume at the peak of the mudik reached an increase from 258,000\nto 270,000, so traffic engineering scenarios have been prepared more\nthoroughly. Korlantas has designed the implementation of local one-way\nsystems up to contraflow in stages following field developments. This\nstep aims to maintain the smooth flow of vehicles returning to Jakarta.\nThe return flow will be managed through traffic counting and gradual\nengineering according to on-site conditions. This scheme is expected to\nalleviate congestion while ensuring the safety of road users.<\/p>",
