60 Rest Stops to be Set Up in West Java During Eid al-Fitr Homecoming

Sixty Eid al-Fitr 2026 rest stops will be set up in several areas in West Java. These rest stops can be used as places to rest, have a drink, or use the toilet during the 2026 Eid al-Fitr homecoming. In addition, travelers can also get important information about homecoming routes, disaster-prone routes, and alternative routes to avoid traffic jams. The Head of the West Java Bina Marga and Spatial Planning Department (DBMPR), Agung Wahyudi, explained that the 60 Eid al-Fitr 2026 rest stops are spread across 6 UPTDs. In addition, to ensure a smooth homecoming, the West Java DBMPR is also preparing 19 Disaster Relief Units (DRU) to anticipate disasters. “The DRU will be guarded by the Bima Sakti Rapid Reaction Unit (URC) team, which is tasked with anticipating damage to provincial roads in urban areas and heavy traffic, accident-prone locations, disaster-prone locations, and locations based on urgent public input,” he said. The team is equipped with various equipment, namely 20 mini excavators, 56 dump trucks, 6 Bailey bridges, 40 pick-up trucks, 6 wheel loaders, and 81 compactors. “The 19 DRU points are spread across the Bogor Regency/City, Bekasi Regency/City, Cianjur, Sukabumi Regency/City, Purwakarta, Subang, Garut, Bandung City, Indramayu, Cirebon, Majalengka, Kuningan, and Tasikmalaya,” he said. According to Agung, with these preparations, the impact of disasters during the homecoming trip can be minimized. The West Java DBMPR has also prepared road conditions for Eid al-Fitr homecoming. “The percentage of provincial roads in good condition is 91.68 percent or 2,362,183 kilometers. Repairs to roads with potholes are being carried out. I guarantee that there will be no more potholes during the Eid al-Fitr homecoming,” he said. Meanwhile, the West Java Police Chief, Inspector General Rudi Setiawan, together with the Director General of PT Jasa Marga, conducted a direct inspection of the readiness of the KM 57 and KM 62 Rest Areas on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road. The inspection was carried out as part of the preparations for the 2026 Eid al-Fitr homecoming. The KM 57 Rest Area on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road is one of the favorite spots for travelers to rest and refuel. Its strategic location, as the first rest area encountered by vehicles from Jakarta after passing the MBZ Toll Road, makes this area often crowded. This year’s homecoming season is predicted to see thousands of vehicles stopping at the rest area. The high number of vehicles has the potential to impact the smoothness of traffic flow on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, as in previous years, with queues of vehicles wanting to enter the rest area often spilling onto the toll road and causing long traffic jams. “We are conducting a comprehensive mapping of the rest area, starting from the placement of homecoming monitoring posts, the readiness of traffic congestion handling teams, to the arrangement of parking locations. In addition, the police will also implement restrictions on rest time for vehicles entering the rest area so that there is a regular turnover,” he explained. According to the Police Chief, his party will also install vehicle counters entering the rest area. With this system, officers can monitor the number of vehicles in real time while also monitoring the duration of rest time for travelers. (H-4) Heavy rain in the city of Sibolga from Monday (November 24) to Tuesday (November 25) triggered a series of landslides that caused thousands of residents to be displaced. The General Chairman of the Central Executive Board of GP Ansor, H. Addin Jauharudin, said that the Guarding Aspirations, Guarding Indonesia Post is Ansor’s commitment to overseeing public aspirations in order to maintain Indonesia. The Chief of the Metro Jaya Police, Inspector General Karyoto, inspected the readiness of the homecoming security post at the KM 39A Rest Area on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road on Saturday (March 22). In an effort to check the use of pumps in the agricultural sector in the country during this year’s dry season, the Ministry of Agriculture has opened a monitoring post. The Klaten BPBD has prepared a post in the Disaster-Prone Area (KRB) III of Mount Merapi, as well as evacuation shelters in three sub-districts. Copyright @ 2026 Media Group - mediaindonesia.
