JAKARTA - Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo revealed that 1,213,388 vehicles have left Jakarta during the Lebaran 2026 homecoming flow. This figure is recorded based on vehicle movements passing through toll roads up to the current period of Operation Ketupat 2026. “The estimate for now of vehicles exiting Jakarta is 1,213,388. These are the ones passing through tolls,” said Sigit at Polda Metro Jaya, Jakarta, on Wednesday (18/3/2026). He stated that this number has increased by 20.89% compared to normal daily traffic volume. The Police Chief revealed that several congestion points occurred on the homecoming routes. One of them was in the Gilimanuk area, although traffic conditions are now gradually easing. Additionally, congestion was also monitored on toll roads, particularly at the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate (Cikatama). Sigit said that the National Police have also prepared various strategies and services for homecomers to anticipate the surge in vehicles. “Both on toll roads and arterial roads, we have prepared, especially on toll roads at rest areas and similarly on arterial roads. Within them, there are security posts, service posts, and integrated posts so that the public who want to rest there are provided with facilities for resting and health check facilities,” he explained. Not only that, the National Police also provide information related to food and fuel refilling for homecomers. In addition, the National Police provide emergency services through the 110 number, which can be contacted by the public if they encounter problems during the homecoming journey. The Police Chief hopes that the entire series of Lebaran 2026 homecoming and return flows can run smoothly. “Our hope is that this year’s homecoming organisation can truly benefit the entire community, and we are certainly ready to receive input and evaluations regarding things that may still be found in the field that we need to improve,” he said.
