JAKARTA - PT Hutama Karya (Persero) or HK will soon impose a tariff on the Pekanbaru-Padang Section Bangkinang-XIII Koto Kampar Toll Road in the near future after the toll road is operated without tariffs for more than a month.

Executive Vice President (EVP) Corporate Secretary Hutama Karya Adjib Al Hakim said HK has provided massive socialization on various aspects, ranging from good and correct driving procedures on toll roads, use of electronic money cards, to profiles and facilities, as well as benefits and strategic roles of toll roads, which are carried out through various communication channels, including social media, conventional media, radio, and outdoor media such as VMS, banners, and billboards.

"Education related to the importance of safety is the main thing, the appeal is to drive toll road users so that good habits can be formed. Especially regarding the use of electronic money cards to prevent queues from occurring," said Adjib in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, July 17.

Furthermore, Adjib said, the enthusiasm of toll road users who passed during operation without tariffs since the end of May 2024 is quite high, as can be seen from the total accumulation of vehicle traffic of 112,000 passing vehicles.

"The presence of the Bangkinang - XIII Koto Kampar Toll Road provides great benefits for mobilization and logistics distribution channels, can cut travel time from Bangkinang to Koto Kampar from 3 hours to 1-1.5 hours," he said.

Dengan akan segera dilakukan penetapan tarif tersebut, HK mengimbau kepada seluruh pengguna jalan untuk berkendar sesuai dengan tata antara dan ketentuan yang berlaku di jalan tol.

Driving at a minimum speed of 60 km/hour and a maximum of 100 km/hour and not using the shoulder of the road except in an emergency.

Road users are asked to immediately rest at the nearest resting place if they feel sleepy, and if there are complaints or see a crime on the toll road, they should immediately report to the Pekanbaru - Padang Toll Call Center (Pekanbaru- XIII Koto Kampar).
