KARAWANG - Homecoming vehicles that violate the odd-even policy are issued at the West Karawang Toll gate, during the odd-even test on the KM 47 to KM 70 Jakarta-Cikampek toll road.

"This policy is carried out to facilitate the flow of Lebaran homecoming," said the Head of the Operations Section for the Korlantas Polri, Kombes Pol Eddy Djunaedy, in Karawang, as reported by Antara, Monday, April 25.

He said vehicles that did not comply with the odd-even regulations were issued at the nearest toll gate.

Meanwhile, during the operation, officers removed the violating vehicle through the West Karawang toll gate.

The odd-even trial on the toll road is to see its readiness and level of effectiveness.

This is done because the implementation of odd-even is expected to reduce the density that occurs on toll roads during the Eid homecoming season.

Meanwhile, the odd-even trial on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road resulted in traffic congestion on Monday afternoon.

Based on field observations, vehicles crossing the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road are dominated by private vehicles, and there are still quite a number of trucks passing by.
