Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road Implements Contraflow Towards Jakarta

Karawang (ANTARA) - Traffic flow on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road was quite congested during the return from the long Easter holiday on Sunday, leading PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol (JTT) and police officers to implement contraflow traffic engineering on that toll road section.

Vice President of Corporate Secretary & Legal at PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol, Ria Marlinda Paallo, stated in Karawang, West Java, on Sunday that the contraflow traffic engineering was applied at the discretion of the police.

Contraflow is one of the traffic engineering systems aimed at breaking up congestion by using part of the lanes from the opposite direction for vehicles from the denser direction.

She stated that the contraflow traffic engineering was applied from KM 55 to KM 47 towards Jakarta on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road starting at 16:36 WIB.

Ria Marlinda said that the implementation of contraflow is a strategic step in maintaining smooth vehicle flow amid the increased traffic volume during the long Good Friday holiday period.

It was mentioned that JTT, together with the police, continues to monitor traffic conditions in real-time and takes anticipatory measures to ensure vehicle flow remains smooth, safe, and controlled.

Road users are also urged to always obey traffic signs and instructions from officers on the ground.
