JAKARTA - The bumpy road on the Mohamed Bin Zayed (MBZ) Flyover to Jakarta from the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate, Karawang, West Java, has forced Eid travelers to maintain vehicle speed.

Based on the monitoring of the ANTARA coverage team, quoted on Saturday, March 22, when crossing the MBZ Flyover with an SUV, Saturday morning, it was found that vehicles traveling at a speed of 100-120 kilometers per hour passengers would be prone to feeling nausea or uncomfortable because the car became a limbung or sickle as a result of the impact of the bumpy road.

SUV car shocks will be minimal if they maintain speeds at a speed of 80-90 kilometers per hour.

However, with a note that the shock conditions may be different if you use a minibus or type car and other types that do have more qualified specifications, including the physical condition or habit of passengers, which of course everyone will be different.

Based on the rules, the safe speed limit for driving on toll roads is 80-100 kilometers per hour, as stipulated in one of them in Government Regulation No. 5/2005 concerning Toll Roads.

Based on observations on D-9 Lebaran 2025, it appears that toll road authorities have begun to prepare to make homecoming travelers comfortable, with traffic cones on a number of shoulder roads outside GT Cikatama and road body maintenance at KM 57 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road towards Jakarta.

In general, the conditions on the MBZ Flyover and the Trans Java Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road are in good condition with bright lights and traffic flow tends to be sluggish.

The Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road which is integrated with the MBZ Flyover is also a solution to unravel the density of vehicles so that it can restore the benefits of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road which is more efficient for users, both short distance and long distance travel.

Judging by the infrastructure, the 38-kilometer MBZ Flyover which stretches from KM 10 to KM 48 provides two lanes plus a road shoulder on both sides, both towards Jakarta and Cikampek. The Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road is managed by PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol (JTT) and the MBZ Flyover is managed by PT Jasamarga Jalanlayang Cikampek (JJC).

Based on data on the volume of vehicle traffic from picket officers at the Jasamarga Transjawa Toll Office, the number of vehicles leaving Jakarta via the Trans Java Toll Road via GT Cikatama from Friday (21/3), 21.00 to Saturday, at 00.37 WIB was recorded at 7,647 units. This number has decreased compared to the previous one, at 14.00-21.00 WIB which was 10,457 units.

Vehicles coming from the direction of Palimanan entering GT Cikatama towards Jakarta are reported to be 4,622 units. This number decreased compared to the previous one, at 14.00-21.00 WIB which was 10,152 units.

Types of inter-city inter-provincial buses (AKAP) including minibuses carrying goods with baggage on the roof have not been found much, compared to a group of goods transport vehicles weighing large class III-V passing on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road.

Especially for the MBZ Flyover Toll Road, cars and small class II trucks can only be crossed, which from the results of monitoring the condition of traffic flow is still sloping.
