Traffic Diversions Planned Around Malioboro During Demonstrations
Several demonstrations are scheduled to take place today, focusing on the Malioboro area and its surroundings. Police have prepared traffic arrangements to ease congestion during the demonstrations. The details are as follows.
“In connection with an activity to convey public aspirations in Yogyakarta, the Yogyakarta Police Traffic Unit is implementing traffic diversions, to be enforced on a situational basis if congestion occurs,” the Yogyakarta Regional Police said on its official Instagram account, @poldajogja, on Wednesday (28 October 2026).
The diversions will depend on conditions on the ground and are broadly intended to restrict vehicles heading towards Malioboro and the city’s Kilometer Zero area.
From the north, traffic will be diverted at the Malioboro Teteg post, sending vehicles that would enter Malioboro Street towards Pasar Kembang Street. If congestion persists, traffic will be diverted at the Legend junction towards Abu Bakar Ali Street.
On the eastern side, vehicles will be diverted at the Melia four-way junction, which directs westbound traffic towards Suryatmajan Street or the Kepatihan Office.
For diversions around Kilometer Zero, traffic will be redirected eastwards at the PKU T-junction, southwards at the Ngejaman junction, and away from the eastbound approach to KH Ahmad Dahlan Street at the Ngabean four-way junction.
On the western side, traffic at the Kilometer Zero junction heading east towards Senopati Street will be diverted west towards KH Ahmad Dahlan Street. At the Sriwedani T-junction, southbound traffic on Senopati Street will be redirected east towards Limaran Street.
At the Permata T-junction, westbound traffic on Sultan Agung Street will be redirected north towards Gajah Mada Street. At the Jokteng Timur four-way junction, northbound traffic on Brigjend Katamso Street will be redirected to Mayjend Sutoyo Street and Kolonel Sugiyono Street.
Finally, on the southern side, northbound traffic on Brigjend Katamso Street at the Ibu Ruswo T-junction will be diverted west towards Ibu Ruswo Street. Traffic from the Ibu Ruswo junction heading west towards the North Square will instead be diverted north at the Gondomanan junction.
At the Pangurakan T-junction, southbound traffic towards the North Square will be redirected towards Senopati Street and KH Ahmad Dahlan Street. At the Kauman four-way junction, eastbound traffic heading towards the North Square will be diverted towards H. Agus Salim Street.
