One-Way System on the Road to Jakarta Ends, Traffic Returning to Normal

Currently, at 5:00 PM, the two-way traffic system has been fully implemented, following the earlier one-way system directing traffic from Puncak towards Jakarta, which began at 12:30 PM.

According to observations, traffic on the Puncak highway is now flowing normally in both directions. Vehicles previously stopped in front of the Gadog gas station are now able to proceed. However, traffic towards Puncak remains heavy at the Gadog intersection, with congestion also observed at the Pasir Muncang intersection. A number of police officers are present at the location, working to regulate traffic flow and ensure a smooth passage.

Afif stated that the number of vehicles heading to the Puncak tourist area via the Jagorawi toll road has reached 29,000 as of this afternoon. However, the number of vehicles heading towards Jakarta has reached 22,000, an increase of 22% compared to the same time yesterday.

“Currently, we report that 29,000 vehicles have passed through the Ciawi toll gate heading towards Puncak, which is a decrease compared to yesterday. However, today, the number of vehicles heading down or from Puncak towards Jakarta has reached 22,000, an increase of 22% compared to yesterday,” said Afif.

“In essence, the people who visited Puncak yesterday and stayed overnight are now gradually returning,” he added.

Afif further stated that 120 personnel have been deployed to the Puncak route in Bogor to anticipate a surge in vehicle volume until tonight. Traffic management measures will be implemented if congestion occurs, and information will be disseminated through social media.

“We anticipate that there will be no surge in traffic tonight. However, if there is, we have prepared traffic management measures by the Bogor Police Traffic Unit. Therefore, we urge people who want to visit Puncak to monitor our social media channels on TMC Sat Lantas,” he added.

Previously, the Bogor Police Traffic Unit began implementing a one-way system towards Jakarta on the Puncak highway in Bogor, West Java. Traffic to Puncak was temporarily halted.

“This afternoon, compared to yesterday, there has been a decrease in traffic. In addition, there is also a flow of tourists who have finished their visits and are returning to Jakarta. Therefore, at 12:30 PM, we implemented the one-way system directing traffic towards Jakarta,” said the Head of the Bogor Police Traffic Unit, AKP Afif Widhi Ananto, at the Gadog intersection on Friday, May 15, 2026.
