Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi appealed to travelers to return to their workplaces after Lebaran on April 26 to 29, 2023, to avoid overcrowding during peak times.
"The peak of backflow is expected to occur in two waves, April 24 and 25, as well as April 30 and May 1," said Budi Karya when checking the Kalikangkung Semarang toll gate, Central Java, Friday, April 21.
According to him, this is to anticipate overcrowding, especially travelers who use the toll road to the west or Jakarta area.
From the results of the evaluation of the homecoming flow, he said, the peak occurred on D-3 with the number of vehicles entering Central Java through the Kalikangkung gate reaching 71 thousand vehicles.
However, he continued, it turned out that the current was still relatively high on D-2 Lebaran with the number of vehicles passing through Kalikangkung reaching 67 thousand units.
He said there was an anomaly during the homecoming flow because vehicles entering the Trans Java toll road from a number of areas on the coast of Pantura, Java, were still high.
He said that this condition may also occur when the backflow will break down the pressure on the flow of vehicles on the Cipali Toll Road.
