The National Police Traffic Corps has prepared additional road capacity to deal with homecoming flow and backflow of Eid Al-Fitr 2023 by imposing one way and contraflow on a number of roads. "This year we will increase road capacity in the form of contraflow, one way, divert flow and open and close," said Director of Law Enforcement (Dirgakkum) Korlantas Polri Brigadier General Aan Suhanan in a public discussion 'Food Affordability, Preparedness of Facilities and Public Transportation Infrastructure Ahead of the 2023 Eid Homecoming' in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, March 28. Aan explained that contraflow is carried out situationally to anticipate traffic congestion around the rest area and disturbances occur in certain parts of the route. "Contraflow is to be carried out from KM 47 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to KM 72 of the Cipali Toll Road," he said. Meanwhile, one way is carried out from KM 72 Cipali Toll Road to KM 414 Kalikangkung Toll Gate (GT), then at KM 422 to KM 442 Semarang-Bawen Toll Road. Then to divert the flow and open and close it is carried out on the Cisumdawu functional toll road if the flow is congested at GT Cimalaka, the vehicle will be closed or diverted through the Sumedang exit. If the Sumedang exit is still crowded, it will be closed and diverted through the Recovery exit. Regarding the smooth flow of homecoming and the return of Lebaran 2023, said Aan, all Dirlantas Polda whose areas are traversed by travelers have made several traffic engineering to ensure smooth flow for the community. The one-star general said that the implementation of one way and contraflow had a schedule been made together with the Ministry of Transportation, PT Jasamarga and relevant stakeholders (stakeholders). The return flow contraflow schedule from KM 47 to KM 72 is carried out from April 18 from 14.00 WIB to 24.00 WIB. Followed by 19 19 20 and 21 April from 08.00 WIB to 24.00 WIB. As for one way the homecoming flow from KM 72 to KM 414 is carried out simultaneously with the contra flow. Likewise for the backflow, the contraflow and one way schedules are divided into two waves. For the first wave of contra flow from KM 72-47, it is held on April 24 from 14.00 WIB to 24.00 WIB, then on April 25 and 26 they both start at 08.00 WIB.
