JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya predicts an increase in the number of vehicles on toll roads during the 2022 Eid homecoming. The increase will reach 10 to 15 percent.

"It's an increase of 10-15 percent compared to going home in 2019," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Monday, April 18.

With that prediction, a number of attempts were made. One of them by holding a homecoming together.

This method is considered to be able to suppress the use of private vehicles so that the number of vehicles decreases.

"We are also preparing several locations for homecoming together which are carried out by the private sector and state-owned enterprises in government agencies," he said.

With the increase, Sambodo said the Korlantas Polri would implement an odd-even and one-way scheme on toll roads. However, for Jalan Arteti there is no implementation of any scheme.

However, on the arterial road there will be special restrictions on trucks. Under the scheme, trucks are not allowed to pass 7 days before Eid.

"But the restrictions for trucks, heavy trucks transporting axles 3 and above are not allowed to pass. They are not allowed to pass on the 7th day of Eid according to the circular letter from the Ministry of Transportation and all of them stop. Except for those carrying basic necessities and fuel," said Sambodo.
