REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, CIKAMPEK \u2013 The Chief of the National Traffic Corps\nof the Indonesian National Police, Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho,\nhas once again requested that owners and drivers of three-axle trucks\ncomply with the operational restrictions regulated in the Joint Decree\n(SKB) during the Lebaran 2026 return flow period. This appeal was made\namid police efforts to maintain smooth vehicle flow towards Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Agus stated that compliance with the three-axle restrictions is an\nimportant part of traffic management during the peak return flow.\nAccording to him, the policy is necessary to prevent arterial routes and\ntoll roads from becoming even more burdened when private vehicles and\npassenger transport move simultaneously towards the western region.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again, I humbly request that this SKB be truly adhered to for\nthe benefit of our fellow citizens returning home,\u201d said the Traffic\nCorps Chief at the Rest Area KM 62 on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road,\nSaturday (28\/3\/2026) night WIB.<\/p>\n
Agus assessed that, so far, the regulation of three-axle vehicles has\nbeen carried out intensively by officers in the field. However, there\nare still some violations detected. Therefore, enforcement leading to\ntraffic violation tickets becomes a solution option.<\/p>\n
He continued that the action against three-axle vehicles is not\nmerely law enforcement, but also part of the strategy to maintain space\nfor holiday returnees\u2019 vehicles. The restrictions, he said, help reduce\nthe potential for slowdowns at congestion-prone points during the return\nflow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you also to all members who last night did not rest to\nmonitor, enforce, and strengthen, especially for three-axle vehicles,\u201d\nsaid Agus.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the Traffic Corps is still maintaining the second\nstage of local one-way on the toll road from KM 263 to KM 70. A one-lane\ncontraflow engineering from KM 70 to KM 55 towards Jakarta is also still\nin effect because the flow of vehicles to the Capital is still quite\ndense until night.<\/p>\n
Agus said that arterial routes remain the main focus because vehicle\nmovement from southern regions and supporting areas is still high.\nTherefore, compliance with the three-axle rules is considered important\nto keep traffic distribution outside toll roads maintained.<\/p>\n
\u201cArterials are indeed quite dense, but we have managed them well,\u201d\nsaid the two-star general.<\/p>\n
Agus added that the return flow conditions from Bakauheni to Merak\nare also under control without significant build-up. This monitoring\nresult shifts the security focus to arterial corridors, including\narrangements on the Pantura route, southern route, and connectivity to\nmain toll roads.<\/p>\n
Amid this management, the Traffic Corps is also preparing additional\nintervention options if on Sunday (29\/3\/2026) there is a surge in\nvehicle flow from the east or south. The police even open the\npossibility of implementing the third stage of local one-way if vehicle\nvolume increases significantly.<\/p>\n
Agus emphasised that traffic arrangements during the return flow will\ncontinue to be adjusted to developments in the field. The regulation of\nthree-axle trucks, arterial oversight, and engineering on toll roads are\nmaintained to ensure the journey of returnees to Jakarta remains smooth\nand safe.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/traffic-corps-requests-three-axle-trucks-to-comply-with-restrictions-during-return-flow-1774770677", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
