KARAWANG - Jasa Marga officers and the police implemented contraflow on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road towards Jakarta, following the heavy traffic flow during the Christmas and New Year 2022 holidays.

"Contraflow on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road is implemented to reduce the density of traffic flows from the direction of Java or Bandung to the direction of Jakarta," said Karawang Police Traffic Head AKP La Ode Habibi Ade Jama, quoted by Antara, Sunday, January 2.

He said that during the Christmas and New Year's 2022 holidays, many residents were going home, so the return flow on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road today is quite congested.

During the day, contraflow is applied starting from KM 61 to KM 47 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road towards Jakarta. Furthermore, the "contraflow" in the afternoon was extended, from KM 65 to KM 47.

Habibie conveyed that the application of "contraflow" was adjusted to conditions on the ground. That is, if the flow is very dense then contraflow is carried out, but if the traffic flow returns to smooth then the "contraflow" is stopped.

Meanwhile, the Marketing and Communication Department Head of Jasamarga Transjawa Tollroad Regional Division, Corry Annelia Poundti, appealed to all road users to anticipate the trip and ensure the vehicle is in top condition.

"Jasa Marga urges motorists to ensure that there is sufficient electronic money balance, refuel before starting the trip, and bring supplies to avoid crowds or overcrowding in the 'rest area'," he said.
