Homebound Travellers Entering Purwomartani Toll Road Cannot Exit at Prambanan Gate
The Jogja-Solo toll road section between Purwomartani and Prambanan in Sleman Regency will be operated toll-free during the Lebaran 2026 exodus period. Vehicles entering from Purwomartani will only be permitted to exit at Klaten toll gate.
Deputy Head of Traffic Law Enforcement at Yogyakarta Regional Police, AKBP Widya Mustikaningrum, stated that the toll section will be operational from 16 to 29 March 2026. The 12.25-kilometre stretch will only be open to Class I vehicles or light vehicles.
“Entry to Purwomartani toll is free, but at the subsequent toll gates tariffs will still apply,” said Widya following an inspection of the Purwomartani Toll Gate readiness on Tuesday (10 March 2026).
Widya explained that the Purwomartani-Prambanan toll section will be operational specifically for vehicles travelling from Yogyakarta towards Klaten, Solo, and surrounding areas.
“The Purwomartani-Prambanan toll section will be operational for approximately 12.25 kilometres specifically from Yogyakarta direction towards Klaten, Solo and beyond from 06:00 to 18:00 WIB,” he explained.
He emphasised that vehicles entering through Purwomartani toll gate cannot exit at Prambanan gate, meaning vehicles heading towards Klaten can only exit at Klaten toll gate. Consequently, Widya urged road users to ensure their electronic toll card balance is sufficient.
“Therefore, we urge toll road users to always check their electronic toll card balance, because vehicles that have entered from Purwomartani toll cannot exit at Prambanan, but must continue to Klaten toll gate or beyond,” he said.
Meanwhile, homebound travellers heading towards Yogyakarta Special Region from Central Java can utilise the exit access through Prambanan toll exit or several other toll exits in the Klaten area. From these exit points, travellers can continue their journey towards Yogyakarta and surrounding areas via arterial routes that have been prepared.
During both the Lebaran exodus and return periods, Yogyakarta Regional Police will also implement various traffic management measures to facilitate vehicle mobility. One measure includes closing several U-turn points on certain road sections.
Additionally, on several roads within Yogyakarta city and coastal tourism areas in Gunungkidul Regency, one-way systems will be implemented to reduce traffic congestion.
“We hope all road users will always comply with traffic regulations and follow instructions from field officers and additional traffic signs that have been installed to facilitate traffic flow,” he concluded.
