JAKARTA - The Head of the Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) of the National Police, Inspector General Agus Suryo Nugroho, explained the strategy that will be implemented when securing the 2025 Eid Homecoming flow. Restrictions on three-axis vehicles, contraflow, to one way are ways to prevent congestion.

For restrictions on three-axis vehicles, it is stated that there will be a ban on large trucks crossing the toll road from March 24 to April 8, 2025.

"The three-axis vehicles began to be banned from 24 to 8th, but this is not absolute, for the transportation of basic necessities and so on, they can still run, including the goods transported with the 2nd axis. This means that it is not absolute, there is still an alternative to transporting logistics goods. Except in Trans Java, the 2nd axis is prohibited, specifically carrying stones and sand, this has been determined in the SKB," Agus said in his statement, Thursday, March 20.

Then there is also the odd-even application which will take effect on March 23. This scheme is considered to be able to decompose or regulate the departure time of the travelers.

"Including being related to odd-even, it is also informed that starting on the 23rd it has started. Therefore, with these 3 policies, including the relaxation of the holiday, the backflow is also a series of backflows that have also decomposed," he said.

The next scheme is contraflow traffic engineering. It is said that its implementation will depend on the development of conditions in the field or an increase in the ratio of vehicles.

"If at a later time the homecoming flow is quite high, the homecoming flow is quite high, we have to do contraflow later. This is the National Police Chief, when we do contraflow, this is not a prediction, the Traffic Corps police cannot predict," he said.

For its implementation, when the vehicle ratio reaches 6,200 per hour, the national one way scheme will be implemented. One way will be implemented again from Km 70 to Km 414.

"When should it be done? When the Cikatama Toll Road is 6,200 per hour. If it is not done one way, of course the toll capacity will not be able to carry out a fairly strong current," added Kakorlantas.

However, Agus revealed that this one way will be different from the previous year. This is because currently several toll roads have been opened, including in Cisandau and Ciperna.

Next related to the functional toll road. For example, the functional toll road will be at the Cipularang toll crossing and the Trans Java toll road.

This functional toll road will later go to the Deltamas area so that it can prevent a buildup at the Cipularang Toll and Trans Java Toll Road meetings.

"Last year it has not been related to the Japek 3 functional toll road. Japek 3 from Bandung was crossed at Km 66, now from Bandung in Sadang there is already a functional toll road going to Deltamas. So the crossing from TransJava that met at 66 is the same from Bandung, this year we did not meet, immediately cut it in Japek 3 to Deltamas later there will be an arterial along 3 km, this is quite representative," said Kakorlantas.

Other functional toll roads, he continued, will also be implemented in Solo and Jogja. He called this functional toll road to avoid buildup in Jogja.

"Including the functional toll roads in Solo and Jogja. Solo-Jogja has an exit toll gate on Klaten, then until Prambanan, reaches Martali Park, this is a problem at the end, if the weekend is full, this is if at the end it is not managed, later on the exit toll road that enters Jogja will be crowded, so that in Jogja it will be engineered or maybe when the exit of the Prambanan toll road is issued it can be turned into a delay system, it can be put in the direction of Sleman, so we can reduce it to Jogja so that there is no density," said Agus.
