THE GOVERNMENT, through a Joint Decree (SKB), has officially issued a traffic management scheme to safeguard the flow of Mudik and balik (homecoming) traffic for Eid al-Fitr 2026 (1447 H). The regulation aims to ensure smooth passage for millions of vehicles crossing the Trans-Java Toll Road.

  1. One-Way Schedule for Mudik 2026

The One-Way system will be implemented fully at the peak of the homecoming period to prioritise vehicles from the direction of Jakarta towards the east (Semarang/Solo).

  1. Mudik 2026 Odd-Even System

The Odd-Even rule applies to private vehicles to limit volume on the main toll road.

Main segment: Karawang Barat Toll (KM 47) to Kalikangkung Toll Plaza (KM 414).

Additional segment: Tangerang-Merak Toll Road (KM 31 - KM 98).

Homecoming period: 17 March (14:00 WIB) to 20 March (24:00 WIB).

Return period: 23 March (00:00 WIB) to 29 March (24:00 WIB).

Important: Lane sterilisation occurs 2 hours before One Way begins. Vehicles from the opposite direction will be directed off the tolled road via arterial roads.

  1. Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Contraflow Schedule

Contraflow is applied to increase the number of lanes at bottlenecks without completely closing traffic from the opposite direction.

Location: KM 47 (Karawang Barat) to KM 70 (Cikampek).

Peak Mudik: 17–20 March 2026 (24 hours).

Additional periods: 21 March (12:00–20:00 WIB) and 22 March (09:00–18:00 WIB).

Road Safety Guidelines for One Way

Although the One Way lane provides more space, travellers are advised to stay vigilant:

Lane changes gradually: If approaching a rest area, begin moving to the leftmost or rightmost lane (depending on rest area location) at least 2 km in advance.

Do not stop on the shoulder: The shoulder is for emergencies only. Stopping haphazardly can trigger multi-vehicle pile-ups.

Monitor Electronic Toll Balance: Ensure your toll card balance is sufficient to cover the furthest toll to avoid delaying queues at toll gates.
