Contraflow traffic engineering towards Jakarta implemented on Japek Toll Road

Vice President Corporate Secretary & Legal of PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol, Ria Marlinda Paallo, stated in Karawang, West Java, on Monday that the contraflow (traffic arrangement that alters the normal direction of vehicle flow) was implemented at the discretion of the police. The contraflow traffic engineering is enforced to support smooth traffic flow during the Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah return period and to support the implementation of local one-way traffic engineering. This time, the contraflow is applied from KM 70 to KM 36 towards Jakarta on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road section at 18:19 WIB. According to her, the implementation of this traffic engineering is a joint effort to maintain smooth vehicle flow during the Lebaran return period. “This traffic engineering is implemented situationally at the discretion of the police, taking into account the traffic conditions on the ground,” she said. During this Lebaran return season, PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol, together with the police, continues to monitor to ensure the smoothness and safety of road users. PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol urges all Trans Java toll road users to always prioritise safety, plan travel time well, and ensure vehicles are in prime condition and roadworthy. In addition, road users are expected to ensure sufficient fuel, electronic money balance, and the physical condition of the driver before travelling.
