Jasa Marga supports the Police's policy by implementing counter-directional traffic engineering or contraflow on the Jagorawi Toll Road towards Puncak, starting from KM 44+400 to KM 46+400. This step was taken to anticipate a surge in vehicle volume during the long holiday of Vesak 2569 BE.

"In response to the increase in traffic flow during the long Vesak holiday, Jasa Marga has imposed a contraflow on the Jagorawi Toll Road towards Puncak, starting at 06.20 WIB, on the discretion of the Police," said Alvin Andituhat Singarimbun, Senior Manager Representative Office 1 Jasamarga Metropolitan Tollroad Regional Division, in Jakarta, Sunday.

To maximize traffic engineering, road users are asked to plan trips wisely and pay attention to road conditions. They are also advised to ensure that the balance of electronic cards is sufficient before leaving, in order to avoid queues when making transactions at toll gates. Always obey traffic signs and follow directions from officers in the field.

Vesak Day, which is celebrated by Buddhists around the world, including Indonesia, is an important moment for spiritual reflection of the life journey ofUS Gautama. In Indonesia, today is set as a national holiday, which is also accompanied by collective leave, providing an opportunity for Buddhists to celebrate with their families and communities. This holiday is also a valuable opportunity for other religious communities to rest or gather with their families.
