JAKARTA, KOMPAS.COM — Cargo transport operations restrictions on toll roads and non-toll roads will be imposed across Indonesia, including West Java. The policy forms part of security measures to ensure the smooth flow of mudik and return traffic for Lebaran 2026. The rules take effect from 13 March to 29 March 2026, aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving road safety during the long holiday period. The Head of West Java Department of Transportation, Dhani Gumelar, said the policy aims to maintain smooth passenger vehicle flow and enhance road safety during periods of high mobility. According to Dhani, the policy targets heavy cargo vehicles that could impede the progress of private cars and buses on the mudik routes. ‘Cargo transport restrictions apply to trucks with three or more axles, vehicles with trailers or tow trailers, and vehicles transporting stock from quarries, mines, and building materials,’ Dhani said, quoting Kompas.com, Thursday (4/3/2026). He added that the policy is designed to alleviate traffic congestion and ensure journeys are safe and comfortable. In West Java, cargo transport restrictions apply on a number of strategic toll roads that form the main mudik and logistics distribution corridors for Lebaran 2026. The following corridors are affected: 1. Jakarta – West Java corridor; 2. West Java region; 3. West Java – Central Java corridor.
