        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2014 The Directorate of Traffic at Jakarta Metro Police\nHeadquarters has urged homecoming travellers using two-wheeled vehicles\nto refrain from carrying excessive personal baggage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge everyone to pay attention first to the cargo they are\ncarrying and the family members they are transporting, not to overload,\nand to comply with regulatory provisions,\u201d said Kombes Pol Komarudin,\nhead of the Traffic Directorate at Jakarta Metro Police, when met in\nJakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Komarudin also noted that should overloaded two-wheeled travellers be\ndiscovered on the road, field personnel would take action against\nthem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur checkpoints will monitor all public activity, ranging from\nservice posts, security posts, integrated posts, and observation posts,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n<p>He also encouraged the public using two-wheeled vehicles for\nhomecoming travel to make use of the scattered security and service\nposts to take brief rest stops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVarious parties have been conducting free homecoming programmes,\nwhich the public can utilise. This includes PT KAI, which is planning to\ntransport two-wheeled vehicles by train. This would certainly be more\ncomfortable and safer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Komarudin suggested that rather than forcing the journey over\nconsiderable distances on two-wheeled vehicles, free travel programmes\nmerit reconsideration. This is particularly relevant given current\nweather conditions which pose significant risks, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Traffic Directorate outlined several key security priorities for\nOperation Ketupat Jaya 2026, scheduled for 13 to 25 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Kombes Pol Komarudin noted that the first phase predicts the peak of\nthe homecoming exodus will occur around 16 to 18 March.<\/p>",
