This increase in vehicle volume was higher\ncompared to the same period the previous day. Sustainability Management\n&amp; Corporate Communications Dept. Head of Astra Tol Cipali, Ardam\nRafif Trisilo, stated that based on data from 00:00 WIB to 09:00 WIB,\none-way traffic towards Jakarta was monitored as busy but still smooth.\nDuring that time frame, around 36,000 vehicles had crossed the Cipali\ntoll road towards Jakarta from early morning until morning. \u201cThe number\nof vehicles passing towards Jakarta is 167 percent higher than the same\nperiod the previous day,\u201d said Ardam Rafif in his statement on Tuesday\n(24\/3). Overall, traffic volume in both directions, both towards Jakarta\nand towards Cirebon, also experienced an increase. The total number of\nvehicles recorded rose by 36 percent compared to the same period the\nprevious day. Facing this surge in return traffic, Astra Tol Cipali\nadvised road users to continue prioritising safety. Drivers were asked\nto maintain safe distances, comply with signs and instructions from\nofficers during traffic engineering implementations. In addition, road\nusers were reminded not to change lanes when the one-way system is in\neffect. \u201cChanging lanes during one-way is very dangerous. We also advise\nagainst stopping on the roadside except in emergencies,\u201d he said.\nDrivers were advised to utilise the available rest areas for breaks. If\nparking capacity is full, road users can exit the toll road and rest\nnear the nearest toll gate without incurring additional fees, as the\ntoll system is still calculated based on distance travelled. Along the\nCipali toll road, several rest areas are available, including KM 86, KM\n102, KM 130A, and KM 166 for the direction to Cirebon. Meanwhile, for\nthe direction to Jakarta, rest areas are located at KM 164, KM 130B, KM\n101, and a functional rest area at KM 77.<\/p>",
