PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol operates 17 toll substations and prepares 17 mobile readers in order to anticipate traffic congestion at the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate (GT) towards Transjawa during the 2022 Christmas holiday period.

"Jasa Marga has operated 17 toll substations from 15 substations under normal conditions and can be optimized to 21 toll booths if there is a buildup of vehicles at the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate for Trans Java," said Jasamarga Transjawa Toll Road President Director Rudi Kurniadi in a press conference quoted by Antara from Cikampek, West Java, Saturday, December 24. - Rudi Kurniadi stated that Jasa Marga has also provided 17 Mobile Readers at the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate if needed to increase the gate capacity. Jasa Marga, he continued, has also alerted the Jasa Marga Siaga Nataru team. To anticipate the surge in traffic density, Jasa Marga monitors the movement of vehicles leaving Jakarta. "If there is a density, over the discretion of the Police, Jasa Marga will carry out traffic engineering by one of them imposing counter-stream or contra flow at several points to break down the density. In addition Jasa Marga has alerted additional personnel for traffic services and transaction services," said Rudi.

On this occasion, Rudi also said that there were 22,258 vehicles leaving Jakarta via the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate (Trans Java Arrah), up 78.75 percent for normal traffic of 12,452 vehicles. Meanwhile, the H-7 to H-2 (18 - 23/12) count was recorded as 238,077 vehicles leaving Jakarta. The total volume of vehicles leaving the Jakarta area via the Cikampek Utama Toll Gate (GT) increased by 38.69 percent when compared to normal traffic of 171,656 vehicles. Previously, the Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi said, the Jakarta, Cikampek to Semarang Toll Road, became one of the crucial points for the occurrence of density during the Christmas and New Year holidays. To anticipate traffic congestion, traffic engineering management such as one way (one direction) or contra flow (inverse direction) has been prepared. The Minister also appealed to the public to be aware of the potential for extreme weather predicted by BMKG to occur at the end of the year in conjunction with the Christmas 2022 and New Year 2023 holidays.
