"Until 21.30 WIB, there were 23,000 private four-wheeled vehicles that passed through Jalan Ahmad Yani artery, while approximately 29,000 units were monitored for two-wheeled vehicles," Hengki said at the West Bekasi Mudik Mudik Pospam 2022, quoted from Antara, Saturday, April 30.

Overcrowding occurs at the Sumber Artha Intersection which borders East Jakarta and at the BCP Intersection at Jalan Ahmad Yani, West Bekasi as an alternative route to the Pantura.

Hengki added that a number of arterial roads in Bekasi City had been prepared to accommodate the overflow of vehicles from the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road when the odd-even traffic engineering was implemented.

For vehicle registration numbers that do not match the date of travel, they will be diverted via Jalan Ahmad Yani and Cut Meutia, Bekasi City.
