JAKARTA - The National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo said his party had anticipated the peak of traffic congestion for Lebaran 2022. The National Police would implement a one-way, contra-flow and odd-even scheme on the routes that travelers would cross when returning home.

"We have to work hard and prepare all kinds of strategies, from contra flow to one way," said the National Police Chief in a written statement, Thursday, April 14.

The National Police Chief said that his party had predicted that the peak of congestion would occur at the start of the 2022 Eid al-Fitr joint leave. According to him, the tendency for overcrowding began on D-4 to D-2 of Eid 2022. However, on D-1 the density was not the same as on April 29 and 30.

"And later when the backflow [density] will start on H+3 and will reach its peak at H+4 and H+5," he said.

Separately, the Head of the Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) Police Inspector General Pol Firman Shantyabudi said that the one-way scheme will be implemented starting Thursday, April 28, 2022 or the last day people go to work. This is because the government has set March 29 Eid leave.

The one-way implementation will be in effect for three days, 28-30 April. Firman appealed to the public to look again at the license plates of the vehicles used for going home according to the date.

"From the number of vehicles that are predicted to also go home, we will complete one way with odd-even. We have to do this again and we will inform the public so that people can prepare themselves before leaving for the vehicle which will be used with what number plate and when it can be used," he said. .

Inspector General Firman added that later there would be officers who would guide the field. These officers will direct people to enter toll gates in their respective areas.
