SEMARANG - Police Headquarters Inspector General Firman Shantyabudi appealed to residents who were going home to return to Jakarta earlier to avoid traffic congestion.

"Because on the 6th, 7th and 8th there will be a fairly high peak of backflow," said Firman in a written statement in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, May 3.

Firman estimates that the peak of backflow after the Eid holiday will occur on May 6-8 2022 so that the volume of vehicles will be high.

Firman said that residents who return to the capital before May 6 will be more comfortable on the trip than having to be stuck in traffic because they are concentrated on returning home on the same day.

"If you have enough time off, you can go home after the 9th. Once again for the convenience of all of us," said Firman.

However, Firman ensured readiness to face the backflow of Lebaran 2022 and asked the public to follow the policies and rules of the National Police Traffic Corps.

Firman added that the Korlantas Polri together with other stakeholders made a traffic engineering policy during the homecoming and return flow of Lebaran 2022, in order to handle the traffic density of vehicles.

"What we are doing is to help all parties," said the two-star police general.
