Mudik travellers can monitor traffic conditions on the Jakarta–Cikampek toll road in real time through a CCTV service provided by the government during the 2026 Lebaran mudik exodus.

This service is important amid congestion occurring on several key toll segments along the Jakarta-Cikampek route during the 2026 Lebaran season.

On Wednesday, 18 March 2026, morning traffic, severe congestion occurred on the Jakarta–Cikampek toll road specifically between kilometres 15 and 24, including access to the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ) elevated road.

Based on monitoring at 08.30 WIB, traffic flow was sluggish and tended towards stagnation when entering kilometre 15.

To travel one kilometre, vehicles required up to 15 minutes. Under normal conditions, this distance can be covered in approximately one minute.

Congestion extended to kilometre 24, with private vehicles and buses heading towards mudik routes predominating.

Through the online portal, the public can view traffic conditions from hundreds of monitoring points distributed across various toll road and arterial road segments.

The following are some CCTV access points that can be used to monitor traffic on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road:

Altogether, approximately 1,351 CCTV cameras are accessible for monitoring traffic conditions directly.

Beyond CCTV footage, the portal also provides mudik route maps and weather information, including rainfall maps, to help travellers plan their journeys.

The peak return traffic flow is predicted to occur on 24–25 March and 28–29 March 2026.

The government estimates total public mobility during the Lebaran period will reach 143.9 million trips. Approximately 52 per cent of these are predicted to use private vehicles.

This increase has the potential to trigger congestion on several major road segments, particularly toll routes connecting the Jabodetabek region with various areas across Java.
