Authorities are urging the public to plan trips carefully and utilise available policies for smoother travel, while enhancing monitoring through CCTV, real-time traffic counting, and inter-agency coordination with the Ministry of Transportation and toll operators. To ensure safety and order, situational traffic engineering measures, including contraflow and one-way systems, will be implemented, alongside free access to alternative toll routes.",

We urge the public to plan their\njourneys well and take advantage of existing policies so that travel can\nbe conducted in stages,\u201d Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian National\nPolice (Polri) stated that the return flow from the Eid al-Fitr holiday\nis beginning to show a gradual increase towards Jakarta. Spokesperson\nfor the Public Relations Task Force of Operation Ketupat 2026,\nCommissioner of Police Marupa Sagala, predicted that the peak return\nflow will occur in two phases, namely on 24 March 2026 and 28-29 March\n2026. \u201cThe return flow is already visible with a gradual increase in\nvehicle volume. We urge the public to plan their journeys well and take\nadvantage of existing policies so that travel can be conducted in\nstages,\u201d said Commissioner Pol. Marupa in a statement in Jakarta on\nMonday. Based on traffic volume data on Sunday (22\/3) from 06.00 WIB to\n22.00 WIB, vehicles entering Jakarta were recorded at 122,994, down 3.66\npercent compared to normal conditions, but up 3.73 percent compared to\nthe previous year\u2019s Eid period. Meanwhile, the number of vehicles\nexiting Jakarta through the four main toll gates reached 168,159, up\n65.79 percent compared to normal volume and increasing 2.06 percent\ncompared to Eid in 2025. To support the smooth flow of holiday travel\nand returns, Polri is optimising monitoring through CCTV, real-time\ntraffic counting, and cross-sector coordination with the Ministry of\nTransportation, Jasa Marga, and Jasa Raharja. Marupa emphasised that\nsecurity and services will continue to be optimised to ensure the\nimplementation of the holiday flow and return runs safely, orderly, and\nsmoothly. He stated that traffic flow is now monitored as starting to\nease and has returned to normal in both directions, following the\ncessation of the one-way traffic engineering system based on real-time\nfield evaluations. As a precautionary measure, Polri along with relevant\nstakeholders will implement situational traffic engineering, including\ncontraflow and one-way systems locally and nationally. \u201cThe plan for\nimplementing the national one-way system is scheduled to start on 24\nMarch 2026 from KM 414 to KM 70,\u201d he said. In addition, he mentioned\nthat the public can also utilise alternative routes through the\nJakarta-Cikampek II South Toll Road to avoid congestion on the main\nroute, which in certain segments can be used for free during Operation\nKetupat 2026.<\/p>",
