Banten - The Banten Police have prepared a security scheme and traffic engineering to anticipate the surge in the 2026 Lebaran homecoming flow at the Merak Port, Ciwandan, and Bakau Jaya Port (BBJ) Bojonegoro.
Banten Police Chief Inspector General Hengki said the main step taken was to ensure the readiness of infrastructure, human resources, and traffic control systems based on green, yellow, and red conditions.
"The implementation system for the homecoming flow is regulated in such a way with the green, yellow, and red conditions scheme," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 25.
He explained that when bad weather, waves or high waves based on BMKG information occur, his party will enforce the delaying system pattern.
"In this condition, a delaying system will be implemented, which means that vehicles will be put into parking lots at kilometer 43, kilometer 68, PT Wilmar, Indah Kiat, and PT Indonesia Merit in Bojonegara," he said.
In addition, parking bags on the southern ring road will also be used to disperse the density if there is a weather disturbance.
For normal conditions, the regulation refers to the Joint Decree (SKB) across ministries and the National Police Headquarters which is valid from March 13-29, 2026.
"With the implementation of the SKB, the crossing arrangement will be carried out specifically for two-wheeled vehicles. On H-7, motorcycles and vehicles in groups 5 and 6B will be directed to Ciwandan Port," he said.
Then, vehicles of groups 7, 8, and 9 are directed to the BBJ Bojonegara Port. Meanwhile, pedestrians, buses, and private vehicles still pass through the Merak Port.
Hengki added that in contingency situations such as floods or high waves on March 19-22, 2026, coordination will be carried out with KSOP and ASDP for diversion of currents.
"Especially for vehicles in groups 5 and 6B and two-wheelers, if there is a contingency, it will be diverted to Merak," he said.
Apel titled the Ketupat Operation troops scheduled for March 13, 2026. Hengki emphasized that homecoming security was a humanitarian operation with a focus on service and the safety of travelers.
