        "summary": "West Java Regional Police are deploying personnel at key points on arterial roads to manage potential traffic congestion during the 2026 Lebaran return flow, exacerbated by one-way traffic systems diverting vehicles from Jakarta to eastern Java. Specific hotspots include Simpang Jomin in Karawang and the Sukra bridge in Indramayu, where local traditions like coin-tossing may cause delays, with diversions planned through urban areas like Lohbener to Cirebon. Additionally, restrictions on three-axle vehicles are being enforced to prevent further density, alongside localised one-way schemes on toll roads such as Cipali and Cikampek.",
        "content": "<p>Karawang (ANTARA) - West Java Regional Police (Polda Jawa Barat) are\nmobilising personnel at several potential congestion or traffic jam\npoints on arterial routes during the 2026 Lebaran return flow.<\/p>\n<p>West Java Police Chief Irjen Pol Rudi Setiawan stated that the\nimplementation of the one-way traffic engineering system is diverting\nvehicles from west to east, or from Jakarta to Java regions, onto\narterial routes, increasing the risk of density.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why Polda Jabar personnel have been deployed at points prone\nto intersections and crossings to avoid congestion,\u201d said Irjen Pol Rudi\nduring a media briefing at the Jasamarga Cikampek Main Toll Gate Office\nin Karawang, West Java, on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Irjen Pol Rudi highlighted potential congestion points on Karawang\u2019s\narterial routes, such as Simpang Jomin and the bridge in Sukra,\nIndramayu, where the tradition of throwing coins is often practised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have designated that if congestion occurs in Lohbener, we will\ndivert traffic into the city, exiting again at Cirebon City. This serves\nas a solution for diverting flow on arterial routes,\u201d Rudi\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Polda Jawa Barat continues to monitor three-axle\nvehicles during the 2026 Lebaran return flow period to anticipate\ndensity on arterial routes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn accordance with the Joint Decree, we are still enforcing the ban\non three-axle vehicles. Over the past several days, enforcement actions\nhave been taken to prevent additional congestion on arterial routes,\u201d\nsaid Irjen Pol Rudi.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, on Friday (26\/3), the National Traffic Police Corps\nimplemented the local Precision one-way system, with the first stage\nfrom Km 132 of the Cipali Toll to Km 70 of the Cikampek Main Toll. The\nsecond stage of the Precision one-way is from Km 263 of the Pejagan Toll\nto Km 70.<\/p>",
