JAKARTA - The Traffic Police (Korlantas) of the National Police issued an appeal to people who will return from the 2023 Eid homecoming from East to West (Jakarta) to pay attention to the odd-even date.

Head of the Operations Section (Kabagops) of Korlantas Polri, Kombes Pol Eddy Djunaedi, said that the odd-even system was still implemented at the time of one way.

"Homecomers are advised to adjust the date and license plate of the vehicle," said Eddy, Monday, April 24.

The National Police anticipates the rise of vehicle volume on toll roads on the flow of Eid Al-Fitr 2023 by engineering traffic. In addition to the one-way system, the opposite direction (contraflow), and the odd-even situationally.

The odd-even system will be implemented when one way is enforced from KM 414 Kalikangkung-Semarang Toll Gate (GT) to KM 70 GT Cikampek Utama (Cikatama). Traffic engineering one way will take effect from Monday 24 April from 14.00 WIB to completion or situational.

On April 24, 2023, the one way route will be cleaned from KM 414 to KM 70 Cikampek starting at 12.00 to 14.00 WIB.

Korlantas Polri also informed that this traffic engineering could change according to the discretion of the police who saw the situation of traffic conditions on the ground.

Traffic engineering by acting odd-even has been prepared by the National Police Traffic Corps on the 2023 Lebaran homecoming flow, but it has not been implemented because traffic flow is still under control with a one-way and contraflow system.
