JAKARTA - Astra Tol Cipali (PT Lintas Marga Sedaya) conducted a trial of implementing contraflow on the KM 152-KM 157 section in Majalengka, West Java. As for what the Cikopo-Palimanan Toll Manager did, this was an anticipatory step to unravel the volume spike of vehicles during the Lebaran 2024 homecoming flow. We anticipate an increase in traffic flow on the toll road, said Traffic & Security Management Department Head of Cipali Toll Road, Prayogi Setyo Pratomo quoting Antara. He said the contraflow simulation involved regional police officers, in order to ensure the preparations that need to be applied with actual traffic conditions on the toll road. According to him, KM 152 to KM 157 became the meeting point for the number of vehicles passing from the Cisumdawu Toll Road to the Cipali Toll Road.' So that the location was chosen for contraflow simulations. We also anticipate how fast there is a buildup of vehicles at KM 166. It is also considered that Cisumdawu does not yet have an adequate rest area with fuel filling," he said.Prayogi conveyed this trial aimed at finalizing preparations and strengthening the synergy of the Cipali Toll Road with the police ranks, in particular in the face of the homecoming period this year.' When realization will be possible to see the situation in the field from KM 147 to KM 169. With this simulation we can find out how fast the duration of installing infrastructure facilities in the field and how quickly it is cleaned up,' he said. As for the implementation of traffic engineering in the form of a one way system on the Cipali Toll Toll, his party will follow the decision from the Korlantas Polri. He guarantees Astra Tol Cipali as part of the Toll Business Entity Agency (BUJT) as well as the local police as the regulator, he will provide the best service to the drivers so that they can make homecoming trips safely and safely.

"People can access the latest information about the implementation of traffic engineering during Eid 2024, through outdoor communication media in the form of banners and Variable Message Signs (VMS) and our social media," he said. Previously, the Head of the Traffic Engineering Substance Group of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation Iswandi Putra said around 11.10 million people from the Jabodetabek area, would use the Trans Java Toll Road to return to their hometown towards Central Java. He added the reason Jabodetabek travelers chose the Trans Java Route to return home, namely because economic conditions improved, increased ownership of motorized vehicles, absence of homecoming bans, as well as infrastructure improvements that facilitate their mobility.
