This Is Korlantas Polri's Strategy To Face Homecoming Mobility At Christmas And New Year

JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the National Police said that there are three main routes that will be used by the public outside Jakarta at the moment of Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025. Therefore, a security scheme and strategy has been prepared.

"Korlantas focuses on the three main routes out of Jakarta, namely the Cikampek, Cipularang, and Jagorawi toll roads, as well as the Merak crossing route," said Dirgakkum Korlantas Polri, Brigadier General Raden Slamet Santoso in his statement, Monday, December 23.

One of the schemes prepared is traffic engineering in the form of one way and contraflow.

Slamet detailed the implementation of a one way system, such as it will be implemented on the Puncak route to Gadog and Jakarta. Meanwhile, contraflow on the Cikampek Toll Road at a point with a significant increase in vehicle volume.

"We continue to monitor arterial routes, including the Sukabumi route, which to date shows safe conditions with a vehicle volume of around 4,000 units per hour," he said.

To support smooth running, two functional toll roads in Klaten-Prambanan and Probolinggo have been prepared. The police will ensure maximum security until the evening on this route.

Then, the toll exit in Prambanan has also been coordinated with the Yogyakarta Regional Police so that the distribution of vehicles to surrounding areas, including Gunung Kidul, runs smoothly.

For the crossing route, a billing system will be applied. The goal is to regulate vehicles in the event of a buildup at the dock.

In addition, intensive surveys have been conducted on various modes of transportation, including ships, trains, and aircraft. This step aims to ensure that every operational aspect goes according to plan.

The National Police also carry out analysis and evaluation (anev) every night to monitor developments in the situation in the field. If a shortage is found, such as street lighting or vehicle buildup, immediately coordinate with related parties for quick repairs.

"We hope that with the cooperation of all parties, Operation Candle 2024 can proceed safely, smoothly, and in accordance with the planned scheme," said Slamet.
