He stated that three-axle or articulated vehicles are\nnot permitted to pass in accordance with government policy during\nOperation Ketupat 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting from the 13th, three-axle vehicles have not been permitted\nto pass because there is already a ministerial joint decree,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they do pass, we will stop them at the border post, then we will\nescort them into the parking area at the type-A terminal in Banjar\nCity,\u201d said Didi.<\/p>\n<p>The restriction policy was also emphasised by the Ministry of\nTransport through a Joint Decree (SKB) regulating operational\nrestrictions on cargo transport vehicles during the Eid transport\nperiod.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the SKB, trucks with three or more axles are prohibited\nfrom passing on toll and non-toll roads during the Eid transport period,\nnamely from 13 March 2026 at 12.00 local time until 29 March 2026 at\n24.00 local time,\u201d said Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi when\ninspecting the north coast route in West Java on Sunday early morning\n(15\/3).<\/p>\n<p>The restriction is implemented to ensure smooth traffic flow whilst\nreducing the potential for traffic accidents on the main routes as\ncitizens travel to their hometowns.<\/p>",
