Traffic restrictions for Idul Fitri<\/p>\n
SEMARANG, Central Java: Certain kinds of trucks will not be
\nallowed to operate along the north coast highway of Java during
\nthe four days preceding Idul Fitri, so that holiday revelers may
\nreach their hometowns untroubled, a senior official said.<\/p>\n
Head of the Central Java Traffic and Land Transportation
\nOffice Srihono said on Monday that the restriction would be
\neffective from Dec. 2-6 for all articulated vehicles hauling more
\nthan one trailer.<\/p>\n
Trucks carrying fuel, cattle, staple foods, milk, fertilizers,
\nand postal goods are exempted, he added.<\/p>\n
Srihono said that on Dec. 2 at 12 p.m., the East-West lane of
\nthe north coast highway will only be accessible to public
\ntransportation. Srihono has also recommended that travelers using
\nprivate cars take alternative routes to their destinations,
\n\"...to avoid traffic congestion because there will be 2.7 million
\npeople trying to get home,\" he said.<\/p>\n
He predicted that the number of people using land, sea, and
\nair transportation would increase to between 10 and 15 percent
\nduring the Idul Fitri, Christmas, and New Year holidays. --Antara<\/p>",
