Serang Regent Inspects Mudik Post, Ensures Optimal Service
Serang Regent Ratu Rachmatuzakiyah directly inspected the readiness of the Mudik Eid post at Alun-alun Kramatwatu District, Serang Regency, on Monday, 16 March 2026. The inspection was conducted to ensure all facilities and personnel deployed were truly ready to provide optimal service to the migrating masses.
During the visit, Zakiyah ensured that the mudik post prepared by the Serang Regency Government had been equipped with supporting facilities and personnel from various agencies. She emphasised that the post’s existence was a crucial component in supporting the smooth and safe travel of communities during the Eid holiday migration period.
According to her, Serang Regency has prepared 15 mudik posts distributed across several strategic points, both in the Western and Eastern Serang areas. The posts began operating from 13 March, involving various sectors, including the Armed Forces, National Police, Transport Department, Civil Order Agency, Health Department, and volunteers.
“Since 13 March we have been on guard together with the Armed Forces, National Police, Transport Department, Civil Order Agency, Health Department, and volunteers. There are approximately 15 posts scattered across the Western and Eastern Serang areas,” she said.
She explained that hundreds of personnel had been mobilised to serve travellers with a rotating shift system across two shifts daily. The Transport Department recorded approximately 142 personnel, whilst the Health Department reached 360 personnel, supplemented by support from the Armed Forces and National Police.
“On any given day there are approximately 17 to 20 personnel on duty at each post with a two-shift system,” she explained.
Zakiyah also urged travellers to always prioritise safety during their journeys. She emphasised the importance of resting if feeling tired or drowsy, and utilising the security posts and service stations that have been provided along the mudik routes.
“If you feel drowsy it is best to stop first. Do not force it because we do not know what conditions lie ahead,” she said.
Meanwhile, Serang Regency Transport Department Head Benny Yuarsa reported that traffic flow conditions in Serang Regency remained in freely flowing congestion.
According to him, several main routes such as Serang–Jakarta, Serang–Cilegon, and Serang–Pandeglang remained under normal conditions and had not experienced a significant surge in vehicle volume.
“Traffic flow on several main routes remains relatively normal with no significant increases. Conditions are still like any ordinary day,” he said.
Benny estimated that the peak of mudik traffic in Serang Regency would occur on the second to first day before Eid. Nevertheless, his office had prepared personnel at each post to anticipate increased vehicle flow and ensure smooth traffic.
“The peak is likely to occur on the second or first day before Eid. However, we have already prepared personnel at each post to anticipate increased vehicle flow,” he concluded.
