Inaugurates National One-Way System, Police Chief Urges Public to Utilise WFA and Return Gradually

JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has urged the public not to undertake return journeys for the 2026 Eid al-Fitr en masse. He stated that the public can take advantage of the work-from-anywhere (WFA) policy by returning gradually starting tomorrow, from 25 to 27 March 2026. This was conveyed by Sigit during the inauguration of the national one-way traffic engineering at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate (GT) in Central Java on Tuesday (24/3/2026). “So if there are members of the public who wish to return, they can take advantage starting tomorrow on the 25th, 26th, 27th; I already mentioned this earlier and I’m reiterating it now so that the peak of the homecoming flow can be dispersed,” said Sigit in his statement on Tuesday. In addition, the National Police together with relevant stakeholders have prepared various other anticipatory measures, including the implementation of the national one-way system. “We are dividing it so that bottlenecks do not occur when arriving in the direction of Jakarta. Therefore, there will certainly be the use of functional toll roads, followed by traffic engineering that will be carried out,” he said. Homecomers are asked to utilise the provided facilities, such as rest areas, service posts, and integrated posts. “So that homecomers who are tired can hopefully rest and not force themselves,” he explained.
