National Police Traffic Corps Prepares National One-Way System for Peak Return Flow

On 24 March, when the predicted return flow aligns with traffic counts at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate, we will implement the national one-way return flow,” said the Head of the Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps, Inspector General of Police Agus Suryonugroho, at the Command Centre Post KM 29 of the Cikampek Toll Road in West Java on Friday. He stated that if vehicle volumes increase on 24 March, a partial one-way system will first be applied starting from KM 414 in Kalikangkung, Semarang, Central Java. “It is likely that we will implement the first phase of the partial one-way from KM 414 up to the Pejagan Toll Road,” he said. However, according to him, if vehicle volumes remain high, this traffic engineering will be extended to KM 70 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road. With the government’s work-from-anywhere (WFA) policy in place, the Director General of Land Transportation at the Ministry of Transportation, Aan Suhanan, has urged the public to adjust their return timings to their homes. “You can return on the 25th, 26th, 27th up to the 29th so that this peak flow can be spread across each day,” he said. This arrangement, he added, is solely to provide convenience and comfort for all members of the public returning to their respective homes.
