Official One Way and Odd-Even Mudik Traffic Schedule for Lebaran 2026: Mark the Dates

Government through the Ministry of Transportation together with the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing and Korlantas Polri officially issued a Joint Decree (SKB) related to traffic management and crossings during the Mudik and balik (return) period of Lebaran 2026. According to the State Secretariat of the Republic of Indonesia, this policy is contained in SKB Number: KP-DRJD 854 Year 2026, HK.201/1/21/DJPL/2026, Kep/43/II/2026, and 20/KPTS/Db/2026.

Every motorcycle rider must hold a Category C driving licence (SIM C) as proof of legality and competence in operating a vehicle on the road. Ownership of SIM C also serves as a primary requirement to avoid fines and ensure road safety.

Mudik Lebaran 2026 is predicted to differ from previous years. While usually the peak traffic occurs only once at departure and once at return, the Indonesian National Police anticipate the movement will be split into two waves this year. The reason is that the Idul Fitri 1447 Hijriah holiday coincides with the Nyepi celebrations.

For those waiting for the free mudik programme, registration for Mudik Bareng Pertamina 2026 officially opened today, Tuesday (3/3/2026). The programme can be used to travel home without cost, including return facilities to Jakarta. The programme, organised by PT Pertamina (Persero), returns as a demonstration of the company’s commitment to supporting smooth mobility ahead of Idulfitri 1447 H.

Amid rising prices of classic two-stroke motorcycles, one Yamaha 125ZR unit at YR2Stroke Garage has attracted attention. Not merely a restoration, the bike has been built with a full upgrade concept and now holds status as one of the most expensive and rare in Indonesia.
