Smooth Lebaran Homecoming Journey, Polri Traffic Corps Chief Expresses Gratitude to Various Parties

The implementation of security and services for the 2026 Lebaran homecoming traffic flow proceeded in general safely, orderly, smoothly, and under control. This was the result of synergy among all involved stakeholders, as well as the comprehensive application of Kamseltibcarlantas strategies across all homecoming routes, including toll roads, arterial roads, and ferry ports. From a security perspective, the public security and traffic situation during the homecoming and return flows was monitored as conducive. Combined personnel were deployed at various congestion-prone points, accident risks, and crowded centres such as rest areas, terminals, stations, airports, and ports. The presence of security posts and service posts also provided a sense of safety and comfort for the public undertaking homecoming journeys. From a safety perspective, various preventive efforts successfully reduced the potential for traffic accidents, including through road safety socialisation, calls for drivers to rest, vehicle roadworthiness checks, and speed monitoring on toll and arterial roads. Field officers were also active in issuing warnings and education to drivers, particularly motorcyclists on long-distance trips. From an order perspective, traffic violations were suppressed through law enforcement both electronically and manually. The regulation of unroadworthy vehicles, over-dimension and overloaded vehicles, as well as the control of illegal parking in rest areas and road shoulders, contributed to creating traffic order during the Lebaran homecoming period. Meanwhile, from a traffic flow perspective, the application of traffic engineering such as contraflow, one-way, odd-even, open-close routes, as well as vehicle flow management to ports through buffer zone and delay systems proved effective in dispersing vehicle density, especially during peak homecoming and return flows. Traffic flow on the Trans Java toll route, Pantura route, Southern route, and access to ferry ports was generally well-managed. Overall, the implementation of Kamseltibcarlantas in the 2026 Operasi Ketupat Lebaran not only focused on traffic security and management but also prioritised a human-centred approach through services to the public.
