Traffic Corps Chief Urges Commuters Not to Force Return on 24 March, Utilise WFA

The Head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) Polri, Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, has urged holidaymakers not to force their return to Jakarta tomorrow. Inspector General Agus stated that the one-way national system for the return flow could be extended. “We urge the public, with the existence of work from anywhere (WFA), not to pile up (returning) on 24 March,” said Inspector General Agus to reporters on Monday (23/3/2026). The Polri Traffic Corps is known to implement the national one-way return flow tomorrow at 2:00 PM WIB. The traffic engineering system will start from Km 414 Kalikangkung Toll to Km 70 Cikampek Utama Toll. Inspector General Agus said the one-way national return flow policy could also be extended until Thursday (26/3) if the flow of vehicles to Jakarta is considered high. He hopes the public can schedule their return times to avoid vehicle build-up. “If the one-way national return flow on the 24th is crowded and on the 25th we will extend it, we will implement one-way again. So there will be one-way on the 24th, 25th, up to the 26th as long as there is still traffic generation, we will open it again,” stated the Traffic Corps Chief. Inspector General Agus assured that the Polri Traffic Corps is ready to face the Eid return flow with several traffic engineering systems. However, he also urged holidaymakers not to force themselves to return to Jakarta tomorrow. “We suggest to our brothers and sisters who are currently on holiday that they do not have to depart on the 24th. It can be on the 26th, 27th, there is work from anywhere, the state provides flexibility to choose travel so that dense build-up does not occur,” concluded Inspector General Agus.
