JAKARTA - Traffic flow on the Cikopo-Palimanan Toll Road (Cipali) from Jakarta to Cirebon on H-3 Christmas or Monday morning to noon was observed to be smooth and tended to be normal.
Sustainability Management & Corporate Communications Dept. Head Astra Tol Cipali Ardam Rafif Trisilo said that starting from 00.00 WIB to 14.00 WIB, around 15 thousand vehicles passed through the Cipali Toll Road from Jakarta to Cirebon.
The number of vehicles passing through was much lower, about 17 percent, compared to the same hour or period the previous day. Overall, there were 29 thousand vehicles passing in both directions (through Cikopo), 6 percent lower than the same hour the previous day.
Ardam appealed that road users could ensure that vehicle conditions remained optimal before traveling.
Meanwhile, as a form of commitment to road user safety, Astra Tol Cipali officers have deployed 10 patrol units, 12 tow trucks, five ambulances, two rescue units, and have worked with six Highway Patrol (PJR) units to serve for free and actively for 24 hours.
At the momentum of the Christmas and New Year holidays, the Cipali Toll Road Manager anticipates the density of rest areas (rest areas) by implementing a closed payment system that allows toll road users to exit and re-enter without being charged additional tariffs.
ASTRA Infra Chief Technical Officer, Rinaldi, said that at the momentum of the Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 holiday season, there was an increase in traffic flow on the Cipali Toll Road.
Along with this, there is a potential for density to occur at a number of points leading to and out of the rest area, resulting in congestion on the toll road.
Astra Infra urges toll road users to consider alternative rest facilities or places outside the toll road if the rest area is full.
"Astra Infra implements a closed payment system that allows toll road users to exit and re-enter without being charged additional total rates," he said.
With the closed payment system, road users can utilize supporting facilities outside the toll road, such as Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU), Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU), and alternative rest areas, before continuing their journey.
A number of gas stations that can be visited around the Cipali Toll Road to rest include the Pertamina 34.41211 gas station, which is about 2 km from the Kalijati Toll Gate (GT).
Then Pertamina 34.41207 gas stations, which are about 2 km from GT Subang, Pertamina 34.45319 gas stations, which are about 6 km from GT Cikedung, and at Pertamina 34-45423 gas stations, which are about 3 km from GT Kertajati.
In addition, there is also a Pertamina 34-45417 gas station which is about 3 km from GT Sumberjaya and a Pertamina 34-45129 gas station which is about 1 km from GT Palimanan.
