JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo stated that the homecoming flow for the D-3 Lebaran 2022 from Jakarta to the Cikampek Utama (Cikatama) KM 72 Toll Gate is in smooth condition.

This was based on aerial monitoring using helicopters on Friday, April 29.

"Based on information from Jasa Marga, Cirebon to Kalikangkung has been monitored smoothly," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo in a written statement.

Even though the traffic flow is relatively smooth, Dedi said that based on the data on the flow of vehicles at the Jasa Marga command center, the flow of vehicles is still quite high. The figure reaches 5 thousand vehicles per hour.

In fact, from the results of the analysis, it was found that the time for the increase in the flow of vehicles on the traffic section was between 20.00 WIB to 07.00 WIB.

"From the data, the number of vehicles that are still in Jakarta is more than 211 thousand within 3 days who will carry out homecoming," he said.

Therefore, the National Police's Coordinator of Traffic has also prepared a traffic flow scheme to prevent congestion. Moreover, today is predicted to be the peak of the homecoming flow.

"So it was decided to implement one way and contraflow," said Dedi.
