Homecomers can drive to the KM 379A rest area on the Semarang-Batang toll road if they are confused about the location of the Eid prayer or Eid al-Fitr 1444 Hijri when crossing the homecoming route.

The Sabibul Istiqomah Mosque in the rest area of KM 379A Toll Road in Batang Regency held Eid prayers on Saturday, April 22.

"For travelers who are still on their way during Eid al-Fitr, they can perform Eid prayers in this rest area," said Head of the Security Post for the KM 379A rest area of the Semarang-Batang Toll Road, Iptu Slamet Riyanto, in Batang, Central Java, Tuesday, April 18, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, this year is the first time Eid prayers have been held at the resting place. Travelers are allowed to attend the prayer before continuing their journey.

"This section is a point of fatigue for toll users," said Slamet.

He said the increase in visitors to the resting place at KM 479A had begun to be felt. According to him, congestion usually occurs when travelers will perform prayers.

In addition, he said, at this rest area there are also gas stations that are widely used by toll users.

The resting place, which is also equipped with gas stations, he said, is in the Cirebon area if the travelers depart from Jakarta.

Furthermore, he said the KM 379A rest area was able to accommodate vehicles of around 500 to 600 units.

Until D-4 Lebaran, according to him, the rest area had not yet been closed due to the large number of visitors.

"Until now, it has not been closed due to exceeding capacity, nor has a prominent incident been found," he said.
