Lebaran Return Traffic Remains High, 53,000 Vehicles Enter Jakarta via MBZ
Return traffic on H+5 Lebaran remains high. A total of more than 53,000 vehicles are heading towards Jakarta via the Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ) toll road section.
Based on information received from Jasa Marga on Friday (27/3/2026), this figure was recorded on Thursday (26/3) or H+5 Lebaran. Jasa Marga recorded 53,976 vehicles heading to Jakarta via the MBZ Toll, an increase of 147.26% compared to normal traffic of around 21,830 vehicles.
Meanwhile, in the direction leaving Jakarta, the vehicle volume was recorded at 28,437 vehicles. This number increased by 20.56% compared to normal traffic of 23,588 vehicles.
The vehicle volume in both directions indicates that traffic flow on the MBZ Toll is still dominated by vehicles heading to Jakarta. Compared to the traffic volume on H+4 Lebaran, vehicles heading to Jakarta increased from 53,189 to 53,976 vehicles, or up by about 1.48%.
Jasa Marga also noted a downward trend in vehicles leaving Jakarta via MBZ. On H+5 Lebaran, there were 29,502 vehicles exiting Jakarta, down by about 3.61%.
One Way Km 263-70
Return traffic to Jakarta is still ongoing at the end of the Lebaran holiday. The National Police Traffic Corps has implemented the second phase of one-way operations from Km 263 on the Pejagan Toll to Km 70 on the Cikampek Utara Toll today.
National Police Traffic Corps Chief Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho stated that traffic conditions on the Cikopo-Palimanan (Cipali) Toll are now gradually smooth following the implementation of one-way.
“Regarding the traffic conditions on Cipali, they are now very smooth because we have opened the one-way in precise segments for the first and second phases,” said Inspector General Agus after inspecting the functional Japek II Selatan Toll in West Java on Friday (27/3/2026).
Inspector General Agus mentioned that overall, today’s return traffic remains under control. An evaluation of the one-way implementation for return traffic will be conducted tomorrow.
“For today’s return traffic, it is sufficiently controlled, and tomorrow we will evaluate again whether to extend the one-way return traffic or possibly pull it back to Km 414,” he explained.
Inspector General Agus explained that traffic engineering from Km 70 to Km 55 on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll has also been implemented. Contraflow will be applied if the flow of vehicles heading to Jakarta increases.
“The contraflow from kilometre 70 to 55 has been enforced due to the generation of flow from this morning to afternoon and anticipation for later evening,” he stated.
