The National Police Traffic Corps predicts that the volume of vehicles leaving Jakarta during the 2025 Christmas and New Year (Nataru) 2026 holidays will reach 2.9 million vehicles. Anticipating this, Korlantas will implement a one-way system or one-way in a number of toll roads and arteries.

The projection was conveyed by the National Police Headquarters to Commission III of the DPR in a working meeting with all ranks of the Traffic Police throughout Indonesia who discussed a number of crucial issues, one of which was preparation for traffic security during the Nataru holiday. The meeting was held at the Paleman Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, November 27.

"We report on the projected volume of traffic leaving Nataru. The projection is 2,915,318 vehicles. If Nataru's prediction is only an increase of 12.2 percent (255,669 vehicles) to normal. Up 0.9 percent (26,328) to 2024. If the ketupat can reach 90 percent. We can still control whether later the parameters must be contra flow or one way, of course later the command center at KM 29 will assess the conditions at that time," said the Head of Traffic Police Inspector General Pol Agus Suryonugroho in the Commission III meeting room of the DPR RI.

"So the prediction is yes, but if there is a one way if we have to do it, we will do it one way because we are on standby at the common center. Including the possible Gadog area, there will be a one way," he continued.

Meanwhile, for the current of Mengkreng in Batu, Malang, East Java including Canggu in Bali, Agus said that the traffic directors were very strong.

Then, continued Agus, from the projection of 2,915,000 vehicles ahead of Nataru, leading to Cikupa-Merak, it is predicted that there will be around 888,000 vehicles heading to Trans Java of around 960,000, and those leading to Bandung are around 672,000.

"Including those to Ciawi, Cikupa, Cikampek, it is 1.363 million," he said.

Agus explained that traffic accounting greatly determines the condition of traffic flow on toll roads, including loads on the arterial. "When a one way is carried out between toll roads and arteries must be balanced, so the way of acting must be calculated with the parameters," he said.

As for the preparation of Korlantas Polri in the context of Nataru operations and wax operations, including related to operational transformation, Kakorlantas ordered Dirlantas not to be in the room for the Saturday-Sunday period.

"We have to (there) be on the road. We are operational, because we have to be safety heroes on the road. Because today and even today there is an accident on the road. Therefore, we must continue to operate in terms of activities, patrols, and so on," explained Agus.

Then, in terms of transforming public services. "This is very important, how we become public servants so that we must be close to the community and we transform into digital," he said.

"How can we eliminate the interaction between officers and the community but make it easier to serve the community with our slogan is the police greeting. So at this time we as cakorlantas are not proud to enforce the law, but we are proud that we are close to the community. We have proven this with the traffic police program. , "explained Agus.

Terkahir is supervision. Agus said that Kakorlantas is responsible for all functions in the traffic sector. "Both at the end of the border until we are in the city of Jakarta, we are responsible," he concluded.
