To Anticipate Vehicle Surge, Kalikangkung Toll Gate Implements Local One-Way System
Police are implementing a traffic engineering measure in the form of a local one-way system from kilometre marker 414 at Kalikangkung Toll Gate on the Batang-Semarang toll road section to kilometre marker 442 at Bawen Toll Gate on the Semarang-Solo toll road section on Wednesday (18/3) starting at 4:35 PM Western Indonesia Time.
This local one-way engineering is being applied to smooth the flow of vehicles heading towards Bawen, Solo, and Surabaya during the 2026 Lebaran homecoming traffic period.
“The implementation of this local one-way system is a strategic step in alleviating traffic density on the main homecoming route towards Central Java and East Java,” said Vice President Corporate Secretary & Legal of PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol, Ria Marlinda Paallo, in her statement.
Ria stated that Jasa Marga has prepared personnel as well as facilities and infrastructure to support the implementation of this local one-way system.
“JTT has mobilised operational staff and ensured the readiness of facilities and infrastructure to support the smooth execution of this traffic engineering,” she said.
Previously, a national one-way traffic engineering had also been enforced from kilometre marker 70 of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road to kilometre marker 421 of the Semarang-Solo toll road.
The implementation of the national one-way was marked by a flag-off ceremony conducted by Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi, attended by West Java Police Chief Inspector General Rudi Setiawan and Director of Traffic Enforcement at the National Police Headquarters Brigadier General Faizal.
Dudy stated that the application of this one-way scheme is one form of the state’s presence in providing services to the public undertaking homecoming journeys.
“One of them is carrying out traffic engineering initiated by the National Police, in this case the Traffic Directorate General and also several regional police commands in West Java, Central Java, and East Java, to ensure smoothness and comfort for the public,” said Dudy to reporters on Wednesday (18/3).
