JAKARTA - Wakapolri Komjen Gatot Eddy Pramono said the traffic flow on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road will increase by 89 percent on the H-5 of Eid 2022.

The statement was made by the Deputy Chief of Police when reviewing the homecoming flow at KM 29 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road.

"Earlier today, there has been an 89 percent increase in the number of vehicles compared to yesterday," said Gatot to reporters, Wednesday, April 27.

With the increase in the number of vehicles, Gatot said his party would maximize the traffic flow scheme that was prepared. Starting from one way, odd-even, and contraflow.

"This of course continues to increase and of course we must prepare optimal security," he said.

Meanwhile, Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yugo said an increase in the number of vehicles had also occurred in several toll roads. It is noted that the toll gates (GT) of Cikupa, Kalimata, Cikatama have increased.

"The Kalitama Toll Gate is relatively the same at 29 thousand but compared to normal, it rose 11.4 percent, Cikupa yesterday 2,000 vehicles has increased 9 percent compared to normal," he said.

"There was a significant increase at the Cikatama toll gate on Monday, 43 thousand vehicles, Tuesday 53 thousand, up 25 percent compared to yesterday or up 89 percent compared to the normal daily average," continued Sambodo.

Previously reported, around 600 thousand vehicles were observed leaving Jakarta for the last four days. The estimate is based on the number of vehicles passing at the four toll gates (GT).

"During Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, for those 4 days, nearly 600 thousand (vehicles, ed) left Jakarta," said Sambodo, Tuesday, April 26.

The four GTs that are the basis for calculating the number of vehicles are the Cikampek Utama GT for Central Java, the Kalihurip Utama GT for Bandung, the Ciawi GT, and the Cikupa GT for Merak.
