JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) through the Directorate General of Land Transportation limits the operation of freight transportation during the long holiday commemorating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in 2025. This step was taken in anticipation of a surge in community mobility.
The Director General of Land Transportation, Aan Suhanan, said that his party together with the Directorate General of Highways of the Ministry of PUPR and Korlantas Polri had prepared a traffic management strategy.
This traffic regulation is contained in the Joint Decree Number KP-DRJD 3760, Kep/143/VIII/2025, 62/KPTS/Db/2025 concerning Traffic Regulations During the Long Holiday Period Commemorating the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday in 2025.
Aan explained that traffic regulation during the long holiday of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday was carried out on the transportation of goods and implemented a traffic engineering system.
"We have established a number of traffic control strategies regulated in the SKB, including through operational restrictions on freight transport and the tidal flow system or non-contra flow," said Aan in an official statement, Tuesday, August 26.
Aan said that the regulation of operational restrictions on the transportation of goods was carried out on goods cars with three or more axes, goods cars with attached trains and with a car.
"As well as goods cars that transport excavated products (land, sand, and/or stone), mining products, and building materials," he said.
The arrangement is carried out on a number of toll roads on both directions, namely the JORR 1 toll road, the Jakarta-Cikampek-Palimanan-Kanci-Pejagan-Pemalang-Batang-Semarang toll road, and the Cikampek-Purwakarta-Padalarang-Cileunyi toll road.
"Then on toll roads in the Semarang area, namely Krapyak-Jatingaleh, Jatingaleh-Srondol, Jatingaleh-Muktiharjo, and Semarang-Solo toll roads," he said.
As for the day and time of traffic regulation in the form of operational restrictions on goods transportation, it is enforced starting:
1. Thursday, September 4, 2025 at 15.00 to 24.00 local time;
2. Friday, September 5, 2025 at 06.00 to 18.00 local time;
3. Sunday, September 7, 2025 at 06.00 to 22.00 local time.
Aan said that the operational restrictions on the transportation of goods do not apply to the transportation of fuel transport goods, the delivery of money, disaster management needs, livestock, animal feed, fertilizers.
Not only that, continued Aan, restrictions also do not apply to the transportation of food goods or basic necessities (rice, flour, corn, sugar, vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, poultry meat, cooking oil and butter, milk, eggs, soybeans, onions, and chilies).
"The transportation of goods allowed to pass must still comply with the provisions for security and safety on the road. Not using vehicles more dimensions and more cargo, this must be proven by the documents of the agreement between the owner of the goods and the transportation entrepreneur," he said.
In addition, continued Aan, vehicles must also be equipped with a cargo letter issued by the owner of the transported goods, a cargo certificate containing information on the type of goods transported; the purpose of the delivery of goods; and the name and address of the owner of the goods.
"As well as affixed to the left windshield of the freight transport," he said.
Aan said the government would also implement a traffic engineering system in the form of a tidal flow system or non-contra flow which would be applied to two toll roads with the following details:
1. Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road
a. Cikampek direction from KM 47 to KM 70, valid from Friday, September 5, 2025, 06.00 to 15.00 local time;
b. direction Jakarta from KM 70 to KM 47, valid from Sunday, September 7, 2025, from 15.00 to 24.00 local time

2. Jakarta-Bogor-Ciawi Toll Road, direction Jakarta starting from KM 21 to KM 8, with the implementation time:
a. Saturday, September 6, 2025 at 12.00 to 19.00 local time;

The operational restrictions on the transportation of goods and traffic engineering on toll roads during the long holiday commemorating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad can be evaluated when it is implemented. Adjustments can be made by the police by looking at traffic congestion conditions on each toll road section," he concluded.
