JAKARTA - The surge in the 2026 Lebaran return flow began to be felt on the Cikopo-Palimanan Toll Road (Cipali), Tuesday, March 24. The volume of vehicles recorded a significant increase, even reaching more than 100 percent compared to the same period the day before.
Astra Tol Cipali recorded an increase in vehicle traffic on March 24, 2026 as the community's mobility remained high during the Lebaran holiday, both for the return trip and for tourism.
As of 12.00 WIB, around 47,000 vehicles have crossed the Cikopo Toll Road towards Jakarta.
Sustainability Management & Corporate Communications Dept. Head Astra Tol Cipali Ardam Rafif Trisilo said the number increased by 126.9 percent compared to the same period the previous day.
"Around 47,000 vehicles have crossed Cikopo towards Jakarta, 126.9 percent higher than the same period yesterday," he said.
Cumulatively in both directions, the total traffic volume on the Cipali Toll Road also increased by more than 15 percent.
"Cumulatively in both directions, the total traffic volume on the Cipali Toll Road this afternoon was observed to be 16.1 percent higher than the same period the previous day," said Ardam.
To disperse the density, the one-way system traffic engineering is still in effect on the toll road.
Road users are urged to prioritize safety, maintain a safe distance, and comply with the instructions of officers during the implementation of traffic engineering.
In addition, drivers are asked not to switch lanes or use u-turns during the one-way system. If you need to change lanes, road users are advised to exit through the nearest toll gate and re-enter without being charged additional tariffs.
Drivers are also encouraged to rest at the nearest rest area or use the rest area outside the toll gate if the parking capacity is full, with the toll rate still calculated based on the distance traveled.
"We also appeal that they do not stop on the shoulder of the road unless in an emergency," said Ardam.
