JAKARTA - The National Police predicts that the peak of the Eid al-Fitr or Lebaran 2024 homecoming flow will occur on April 5. The traffic engineering scheme has been prepared to unravel congestion. "Yes, we have conveyed (the peak of the homecoming flow) around April 5, 2024," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, to reporters, Wednesday, March 6. However, regarding the prediction of the peak of the homecoming flow, it still needs to be analyzed together with other related parties.

Meanwhile, the one way scheme will be registered from KM 72 Cipali Toll Road to KM 414 Kalikangkung Toll Road. "(Traffic engineering scheme) Of course this is based on the results of last year's analysis and evaluation," said Trunoyudo.
