        "summary": "Indonesia's National Police Traffic Corps Chief, Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, reported that traffic conditions remain controlled following the implementation of one-way traffic engineering during the peak of the annual homecoming exodus on 19 March. Approximately 270,000 vehicles were recorded, a 4.26% increase from the previous year, with contraflow measures extended along the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road to manage the surge, including temporary closure of the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed elevated toll for about 1.5 hours. Notably, traffic accidents decreased by 2.8%, and fatalities dropped by 40%, highlighting the effectiveness of these public safety initiatives during the high-volume travel period.",
        "content": "<p>The Head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) Polri,\nInspector General of Police Agus Suryonugroho, stated that traffic\nconditions after the implementation of the national one-way traffic\nengineering for the homecoming flow are monitored and under control.\nKakorlantas explained that the national one-way system is still in\neffect to anticipate the high volume of vehicles. \u201cWe are currently\nunder the MBZ on the toll road, stating that the traffic conditions\nafter we implemented the national one-way homecoming flow yesterday on\nthe 18th, up to now, we are still enforcing the national one-way. As for\nthe traffic conditions, especially on the toll road, we are also looking\nat the impact on the arterial roads. Up to now, it is quite controlled,\u201d\nhe said at the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road on Thursday (19\/3). Based on\ndata on Thursday (19\/3), the number of vehicles at the peak of the\nhomecoming flow reached around 270,000 vehicles. This figure increased\nby about 4.26 percent compared to the same period last year, which\nrecorded 258,000 vehicles. \u201cTherefore, the traffic engineering mechanism\nfrom kilometre 36 has implemented contraflow of 1 lane up to km 47.\nAfter another increase, from km 47 we extended it to km 48, that\u2019s 2\nlanes. From km 48, we created another contraflow of 3 lanes up to km 70.\nUp to km 70, of course, towards Trans Java, alhamdulillah, it is smooth\nbecause we have implemented the national one-way. That is the updated\ncondition today,\u201d he said. Agus stated that the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed\n(MBZ) elevated toll road was temporarily closed for approximately one\nand a half hours to support the implementation of contraflow. After the\nengineering was completed, the lane was reopened, and traffic gradually\nflowed smoothly. \u201c(The) MBZ was closed earlier for almost one and a half\nhours. Because the contraflow steps have been completed, of course, we\nopened it again, and alhamdulillah, now it is smooth. It is smooth now,\u201d\nhe added. The number of traffic accidents recorded a significant\ndecrease of 2.8 percent. Meanwhile, the fatality rate of deaths dropped\nsignificantly by up to 40 percent compared to the previous year. \u201cWe\nconvey that traffic accident incidents have also decreased by 2.8\npercent as of today, but the fatality of victims who died has dropped by\n40 percent. So it\u2019s still good, hopefully until the end of Operation\nKetupat, we can maintain it,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we hope that fellow\nhomecomers must be careful and patient. The peak flow has been passed,\njust a few percent left for us to secure,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
