JAKARTA - Korlantas Polri predicts that the peak flow of the New Year holidays will occur on Sunday afternoon. There are at least three locations, it is said that there will be a build-up of vehicles bound for Jakarta.

"Predictions for the peak of the return flow today," said the Head of Traffic Police, Inspector General Istiono, to VOI, Sunday, December 3.

Three points that are predicted to have congestion include the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road KM 50 and 62, as well as the Gadog toll gate. One of the causes of the accumulation of vehicles is the queues at the toll booths.

"The critical points for vehicle slowdown at KM 62, KM 50 of the Cikampek toll road and Bogor are in the queue at the gate," said Istiono.

Istiono said, to overcome the buildup at KM 50 and 62, his party would implement a contra flow system. However, this system will be implemented if the situation on the ground is deemed necessary.

"Contra flow from km 62 to 50 (direction Jakarta). Situational yes," he said.
