JAKARTA - The National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, mentioned the reason behind the postponement of the one-way implementation point so that people heading to Jakarta can cross the toll road.

The point of application of the one-way scheme was decided to be pushed back from KM 47 to the Toll Gate (GT) Cikampek Utama (Cikata) KM 70.

"So that currents from East Java, Central Java, West Java that lead to DKI Jakarta can pass", said the National Police Chief to reporters, Friday, April 29.

With the withdrawal of this one-way point, the contraflow scheme is applied instead at KM 47 to GT Cikatama KM 70.

This is done in anticipation of a surge in the number of vehicles from Jakarta to the east.

"Currently we are doing contraflow starting from KM 47 and KM 70", he said.

The former Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit also ensures that the engineering efforts continue to be evaluated. The goal, if later there will be a traffic jam will be parsed immediately. So, people are comfortable and safe in driving.

"Engineering efforts will continue to be evaluated to unravel congestion", said Police Chief.
