JAKARTA - One-way traffic engineering (one way) from KM 414 is from the Kalikangkung Toll Gate, Central Java to KM 72 Cikopo, West Java has been extended. This follows the density of traffic flow on the Trans Java Toll Road to Jakarta.

The one-way traffic engineering, which was originally implemented from Monday afternoon (24/4) to 24.00 WIB, will continue with the police discretion. The engineering extension of the one-way system will end on Tuesday at 24.00 WIB.

However, if within a period of three hours before the expiration schedule there is still a significant increase in traffic volume from east to Jakarta, then it is possible to reschedule the traffic engineering schedule for one way.

Along with the implementation of the one way, road users from Jakarta to the east (Trans Java) will be diverted out at the Cikampek KM 72 Toll Gate (GT) and continue their journey through the Pantura route.

Meanwhile, the route for road users from Jakarta to Bandung via the Cipularang Toll Road is still normal.

Corporate Communication and Community Development Group Head of PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk. Lisye Octaviana, in a statement received in Purwakarta, West Java, Tuesday, said that the extension of the time for the implementation of the one way system was carried out on the discretion of the police.

The extension is based on data on the volume of vehicle traffic which has increased significantly from the east (Trans Java) to Jakarta, as well as predictions of increased traffic which will continue.

PT Jasa Marga appealed to all road users to always be careful when driving, obey signs, and follow directions from officers in the field. In addition, also ensure adequate supplies, e-toll balances, and fuel oil before entering the toll road so that the trip is more comfortable.

"Prepare an e-toll balance of at least IDR 500,000 for trips from Semarang to Jakarta to avoid a lack of balance when making transactions at GT Cikampek Utama," said Lisye.

When entering GT Cikampek Utama Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, Jasa Marga urges road users to comply with signs and directions from officers because the slightest disturbance that occurs will have an impact on traffic flow and result in queues of vehicles.
