JAKARTA - The homecoming ban has been implemented for five days. Thousands of vehicles have been forced to return to Jakarta. Later, people who avoided the officers' inspection looked for an alternative route or mouse route.
Polda Metro Jaya Traffic Directorate Director Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said, in the scheme of implementing the rules for the prohibition of going home, the supervision of alternative routes is carried out by officers at the police station level. Because, they better understand which routes are often used by the community.
"The route for homecoming is supervised by the Polda, namely toll roads. Then, by the Police on non-toll arterial roads, the last one is supervision by the Police on alternative roads," Sambodo said in Jakarta, Wednesday, April 29.
Even though the insulation had been carried out, said Sambodo, not all of the travelers were intercepted by the officers. This is due to several factors and reasons, as well as considerations.
"We have tried to block all the routes for us, both by the Polda, Polres, and Polsek. But it is impossible for us to block them all 100 percent," said Sambodo.
Regarding the results of the prosecution on the fifth day as of Tuesday, April 28, as many as 886 vehicles were forced to make a U-turn from the West Cikarang toll checkpoint, Bitung toll road, and several arterial roads.
Based on these data, there is an increase in the number of two-wheeled vehicles. A total of 102 motorbikes were forced not to continue their journey when they were going to Karawang, West Java.
"Indeed, there has been an increase in the number of motorbikes that are turning around. Most of them have occurred in Kedung Waringin," said Sambodo.
Head of Korlantas (Kakorlantas) Polri, Inspector General Istiono, added that the prosecution of motorists using alternative routes was mostly carried out in West Java and Central Java. They were also asked to make a U-turn towards Jakarta.
However, the number of vehicles used for homecoming from DKI Jakarta has gradually decreased since the ban came into effect, on Friday, April 24.
"There are (who go home via the mouse route), but the percentage is small. Many have turned around at the West Java-Central Java border," said Istiono.
