Mudik Traffic Eases, National One-Way Scheme Officially Halted

VIVA – Indonesian Traffic Corps (Korlantas Polri) has officially halted the one-way traffic engineering scheme, or national one-way, which began at KM 70 of the Cikampek Main Toll Gate in West Java and extended to KM 414 at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate in Semarang, Central Java.

“With the permission of the National Police Chief General Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo, for the mudik flow or national one-way, we temporarily declare it closed at 13:22 WIB earlier,” said the Head of the Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) Inspector General of Police Agus Suryonugroho at the Command Centre Post KM 29 Cikampek Toll, West Java, on Friday, 20 March 2026.

He stated that this suspension was based on an evaluation showing that traffic conditions were sufficiently smooth and under control. “So, now traffic conditions are normal, both towards Jakarta including towards Semarang,” he said.

It is known that the national one-way was officially implemented on the Trans-Java Toll on Wednesday, 18 March 2026, starting from KM 70 at the Cikampek Main Toll Gate in West Java to KM 414 at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate in Semarang, Central Java.

Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi said that the implementation of this traffic engineering was a form of the state’s presence to ensure the best services for the public undertaking mudik.

He explained that the engineering had actually been carried out since Tuesday (17/3), but only in segments, namely from KM 70 to KM 263 on the Trans-Java Toll.

However, a further one-way implementation was applied because the volume of mudik vehicles using the Trans-Java Toll towards Central Java had already increased.
