JAKARTA - The Head of the Patrol Control Control Unit (Rajawali) of the Bekasi Metro Police, AKP Ganda Siburian, said that the homecoming flow on the Kalimalang-Bekasi City route had not yet experienced congestion on the D-6 Eid 2022.

"For the time being, based on our monitoring, it is still safe," said Ganda at the Mega Bekasi Hyper Mall Police Station, Bekasi, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, April 26.

Ganda said the density of travelers crossing the Kalimalang-Bekasi route is usually seen at night. However, as of Monday night there has not been a significant increase in homecomers like the previous three years or before the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to him, there are 36 CCTV monitoring points that are always monitored. If there is visible congestion, the staff will carry out various decomposition schemes such as implementing a one-way system (Oneway) on one road segment.

"At night, there is identification of travelers. It can be seen from the items above, but not many, including two-wheelers already. So far, our experience is that we (depart) after breaking the fast. After breaking the fast, they will walk," he said. .

He predicts that the density of homecomers crossing the Kalimalang-Bekasi route will start to occur on D-5 or on 27, 28, to 29 April. According to him, Jalan Kalimalang is a vulnerable point for travelers to cross because it includes arterial access to various areas in West Java.

Ganda asks travelers to rest if they feel tired or sleepy. All police posts and service posts can be used to rest and unwind.

"We also appeal to motorcyclists, please obey the signs, don't because of traffic jams and then take the right lane. Taking the right lane will go against the direction so that it closes the reverse flow, then there will be congestion if that is the case," he said.

Previously, the Korlantas Polri prepared a traffic engineering scheme, namely contraflow, one-way (one-way system) and odd-even, which will take effect on Thursday (28/4) to provide a smooth flow of homecoming on toll roads.

The three traffic engineering schemes are situational depending on traffic conditions. However, the contraflow scheme will be implemented from Jakarta to the east of Java Island.

On Thursday (28/4), the one-way and odd-even system applies from 17.00 WIB to 24.00 WIB at KM 47 (Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road) to KM 414 (Kalikangkung Toll Gate). Then on Friday (29/4) it takes effect from 07.00 WIB - 24.00 WIB from KM 47 to KM 414.

On Saturday (30/4) it is valid from 07.00 WIB-24.00 WIB from KM 47 to KM 414 and on Sunday (1/5) it applies from KM 47 to KM 414.
