Vice President Corporate Secretary & Legal of PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol, Ria Marlinda Paallo, in her statement in Karawang, West Java, on Friday, conveyed that the implementation of counterflow is one step to reduce vehicle density on the toll road section.

Amid the high traffic flow, Jasamarga urges all Trans Java toll road users to continue prioritising safety in driving by ensuring the driver’s and vehicle’s conditions are in prime condition before starting the journey.
