JAKARTA - The peak of the 2026 Lebaran reverse flow has begun to show a significant spike. The National Police recorded as many as 225,293 vehicles entering the Jakarta area during the period Monday, March 23 at 18.00 WIB to Tuesday, March 24 at 06.00 WIB. This figure increased by 73.71 percent compared to normal conditions.
On the other hand, there are still 167,939 vehicles that are recorded as leaving Jakarta in the same period. This data indicates that the movement of vehicles returning to the city has begun to dominate.
"This shows that the Lebaran flow has started to increase," said the spokesperson for the 2026 Ketupat Operation, Kombes Pol Jansen Avitus Panjaitan, Tuesday, March 24.
To anticipate the surge in vehicle volume, the National Police implemented traffic engineering in the form of a national one-way starting at 14.00 WIB. This policy is applied from kilometer 414 Kalikangkung to kilometer 70 towards Jakarta to disperse the density.
The National Police also appealed to the public to plan their trips carefully, including taking advantage of the work from anywhere (WFA) policy to avoid vehicle congestion at the same time.
"We urge the public to arrange their travel time well, take advantage of the WFA policy, and not force themselves if they are tired. Safety must be the top priority," said Jansen.
In addition, the public is also reminded to take advantage of the toll rate discount on March 26-27, 2026. This policy is expected to distribute vehicle traffic so that there is no peak density at one time.
"We also remind the public to take advantage of the toll rate discount on March 26 to 27, 2026 so that travel is more flexible and does not accumulate at one time," he concluded.
