JAKARTA \u2014 National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo\nannounced that the government is preparing traffic engineering measures\ncomprising one-way systems, contraflow, and odd-even schemes throughout\nthe Eid 2026 holiday exodus and return periods. These policies are being\nimplemented to regulate public mobility, which is projected to reach\nhundreds of millions of people.<\/p>\n
The traffic management arrangements are formalised in a joint\ndecision regarding road traffic regulation and crossing management\nduring the Eid 2026 transportation exodus and return periods. The policy\nis designed to anticipate vehicle congestion and ensure smooth travel\nfor the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe joint decision covers restrictions on cargo transportation\noperations, implementation of one-way systems, contraflow, and odd-even\nschemes, delay of construction projects, regulation of sea crossings,\nand temporary repurposing of vehicle weighing stations as rest areas for\nroad users,\u201d Sigit said whilst leading the Operation Ketupat 2026\ndeployment at the National Monument in Jakarta on Thursday (12 March\n2026).<\/p>\n
These policies are being implemented given the high potential for\npublic mobility during this year\u2019s Eid period. Based on a survey by the\nMinistry of Transportation, projected population movement during Eid\n2026 is estimated at 143.9 million people.<\/p>\n
This figure is somewhat lower compared to the previous year, which\nreached 146.4 million people. The decline of approximately 1.75 per\ncent, equivalent to 2.5 million people, still requires thorough security\npreparation and traffic management arrangements.<\/p>\n
\u201cNevertheless, we still need to anticipate if there is an increase in\nactual movement realisation,\u201d Sigit said.<\/p>\n
To support smooth travel for those heading home, the National Police,\nalongside the Indonesian Military and various stakeholders, are\nconducting Operation Ketupat 2026. This operation runs for 13 days from\n13 to 25 March 2026.<\/p>\n
A total of 161,243 combined personnel have been deployed in this\noperation. Personnel are distributed across various main exodus routes\nto maintain security and ensure smooth traffic flow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe National Police, supported by the Indonesian Military and\nrelevant stakeholders, are conducting a centralised operation under the\ncodename Ketupat 2026 for 13 days from 13 to 25 March 2026, involving\n161,243 combined personnel,\u201d Sigit said.<\/p>\n
Security is further strengthened through the provision of 2,746 posts\ncomprising 1,624 security posts, 779 service posts, and 343 integrated\nposts. These posts function as information and service centres for the\npublic travelling during the exodus period.<\/p>\n
