JAKARTA - Large-capacity freight transport vehicles on certain toll roads and arterial roads will be limited during the Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 (Nataru) periods. This step was taken so that the flow of vehicle traffic remained smooth during that period.
Acting Director General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation, Ahmad Yani, said that the traffic restrictions on goods transport vehicles have been socialized with entrepreneurs. In fact, employers' associations also agree with the restrictions.
"During our last coordination meeting, we invited all of us, all associations, at the last point they finally agreed (restriction decisions)," he said at the Ministry of Transportation, Jakarta, written Friday, December 13.
Yani explained that there were several considerations that underlie the restrictions on the transportation of goods vehicles. This pertimbqanan was obtained from a simulation conducted by the Ministry of Transportation together with the National Police and PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk on the flow of vehicles on toll roads.
Based on the simulation, Yani said there was a slowdown in vehicle speed when large freight transport entered the toll road at certain times. This is because three-axis goods transportation or more tends to run at low speed.

"Moreover, for example, an old truck, only 30 km/hour of the road has hampered it. If you look at the rules on the 60-hour toll road. If it's 60 km/hour, it can't be done, it means that he (vehicle) has hindered it," he explained.
Therefore, said Yani, the choice of limiting large vehicles is an absolute step to take. With this restriction, it is hoped that the flow of vehicles during the 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year holidays can be smoother.
"So like it or not, like it or not, it must be done for the sake of smoothness and keeping it from stagnant," he said.
