        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 The Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps\n(Korlantas Polri) has implemented traffic engineering measures,\nincluding one-way systems and contraflow, on several major toll road\nsections. This is aimed at smoothing vehicle movement during the 2026\nEid al-Fitr return flow. The policy has received positive responses from\nreturning holidaymakers. One of them, Ical, a driver from Majalengka\nheading back to Jakarta, assessed that the one-way implementation\ngreatly aids journey smoothness, especially compared to previous years.\n\u201cI think this is a very good policy because, looking back at previous\nyears, the one-way policy has indeed greatly helped holidaymakers to\nreach home smoothly. I believe the one-way policy implemented during Eid\nis very helpful for road users,\u201d said Ical. In addition, Ical also\nappreciated the presence of police officers in the field, who he deemed\nquick in maintaining traffic order, particularly in disciplining\nvehicles stopping on the roadside. \u201cI saw several times police officers\npossibly warning drivers stopping on the roadside, and I think that\u2019s\nvery good, because some road users stopping on the roadside is indeed\nvery dangerous,\u201d added Ical. Not only that, the existence of additional\nservice posts and rest areas was also deemed effective in reducing\ndensity. Ical admitted to utilising an emergency rest area for a brief\nbreak. \u201cThe policy is very good,\u201d Ical emphasised. Similar sentiments\nwere expressed by Bayu, a driver from Pangalengan, Bandung, heading to\nDepok. He revealed that his journey proceeded smoothly without\nobstacles, including when passing the contraflow point in Cikampek. \u201cOur\njourney from Pangalengan, Bandung, at 11:00, alhamdulillah, went\nsmoothly without any stuck traffic. When entering the Cikampek merge,\nthere was contraflow, everything was smooth. It\u2019s quite helpful because\nin terms of time, it felt like a normal journey, no problems,\u201d said\nBayu. Bayu also assessed the active role of police officers in the field\nas very helpful in maintaining traffic flow smoothness, especially in\ndispersing vehicles stopping on the roadside. \u201cThat helps because first,\nto regulate traffic flow, from the side of fatigued drivers who stop on\nthe roadside, it disrupts, from the police\u2019s activity, they better\nregulate the traffic flow to remain smooth,\u201d added Bayu.<\/p>",
