Traffic Corps Considers Implementing National One-Way System for Lebaran Return Phase 2

The Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas Polri) is open to implementing a one-way traffic engineering system nationwide from kilometre 414 to kilometre 70 on the Trans-Java Toll Road if vehicle volumes increase during the return flow. Head of Korlantas Polri, Inspector General of Police Agus Suryonugroho, stated in West Karawang, West Java, early on Saturday that they would first monitor the number of vehicles entering Jakarta. “Whether it must be at kilometre 414 for the national one-way return phase two, or if there is no significant surge in traffic, we might shift it to phase three. It could be in Batang or Kendal,” he said. He also noted that traffic on Friday, 27 March, was observed to be steady, allowing focus on enforcing violations by three-axle vehicles breaching operational restrictions for goods transport. “In fact, tonight we are concentrating on enforcing the joint ministerial decree (SKB). On the orders of the National Police Chief, we are urging three-axle logistics business owners not to operate yet,” he stated. This enforcement aims to prioritise the returning holidaymakers to ensure their journeys are safe and smooth. On Friday, 27 March, Korlantas Polri implemented the local Precision one-way system. The first phase of Precision one-way was applied from kilometre 132 on the Cipali Toll Road to kilometre 70 on the Cikampek Utara Toll Road, effective since Friday morning. Meanwhile, the newly opened second phase of Precision one-way runs from kilometre 263 on the Pejagan Toll Road to kilometre 70.
