Take Note: Contraflow and One-Way Traffic Schedules for Lebaran 2026 Homecoming
The government has established traffic management schemes for the Lebaran 2026 homecoming period. These measures range from contraflow and one-way systems to odd-even number plate restrictions.
The regulations are set out in a Joint Decree on Road Traffic Management and Ferry Crossings During the Lebaran 2026/1447 H Homecoming and Return Period, issued by the Ministry of Transportation, the National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas Polri), and the Ministry of Public Works to anticipate vehicle congestion during the Lebaran 2026 travel period.
“These traffic arrangements are nothing new. They need to be implemented to ease congestion and ensure smooth traffic flow so that all travellers can enjoy comfort and safety, with road safety as the top priority,” said Director General of Land Transportation Aan Suhanan in a statement on Monday (16 February 2026).
One-Way System
Homecoming Flow: Km 70 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to Km 421 of the Semarang-Solo Toll Road, effective from 17 March 2026 at 12.00 WIB until 20 March 2026 at 24.00 WIB.
Return Flow: Km 421 of the Semarang-Solo Toll Road to Km 70 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, effective from 23 March 2026 at 12.00 WIB until 29 March 2026 at 24.00 WIB.
Aan explained that during the homecoming one-way system, all toll gate entries heading towards Jakarta will be closed. Conversely, during the return flow, toll gates heading towards Semarang will be closed.
“Meanwhile, on the Cipali Toll Road, vehicles from the Cisumdawu Toll Road heading towards Jakarta during the homecoming period or towards Semarang during the return period may exit at the Cimalaka and Cisumdawu Jaya toll gates,” Aan explained.
During the homecoming flow, closure of entry points and clearing of lanes and rest areas from Km 421 of the Semarang-Solo Toll Road to Km 70 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road will take place on 17 March 2026 from 10.00 to 12.00 WIB. For the return flow, the same process will be carried out from Km 70 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to Km 421 of the Semarang-Solo Toll Road on 23 March 2026 from 10.00 to 12.00 WIB.
“During the homecoming period, normalisation of traffic conditions and reopening of entry points from Km 421 B to Km 70 will take place on 21 March 2026 from 00.00 to 02.00 local time. During the return period, normalisation and reopening of entry points from Km 70 to Km 421 will take place on 30 March 2026 from 00.00 to 02.00 local time,” Aan said.
