Backflow For Eid 2023, Ajibarang-Brebes Section Is Crowded Smoothly

JATENG - The flow of vehicles on the Ajibarang-Brebes section during the backflow of D+3 Lebaran is busy and smoothly.

Based on observations, the point that connects the central route and the southern route of Central Java with the Central Java northern coast route was observed to be crowded.

According to a report by the Lebaran 2023 Security Post at the Ajibarang Gas Station intersection, Banyumas, Central Java, Wednesday afternoon, April 26, the flow of vehicles coming from Purwokerto and a number of other cities on the Central Java route to the Ajibarang-Brebes road is also relatively smooth.

The flow of vehicles passing on the Ajibarang-Brebes road is dominated by motorcyclists with license plates number B, F and A.

Meanwhile, from the opposite direction, traffic flow is dominated by residents' vehicles who have just carried out local homecoming activities or traveled in a number of tourist attractions located in the Paguyangan and Bumiayu areas, Brebes Regency.

Head of the 2023 Lebaran Pospam Simpang SPBU Ajibarang Iptu Wahyu Shofha said the flow of vehicles passing through the Ajibarang-Brebes section during the backflow period of D+3 Lebaran was relatively sloping.

According to him, this condition is different from the backflow atmosphere on D+1 Lebaran and D+2 Lebaran which increased mainly on Tuesday, April 25 evening.

"Last night it was very crowded, maybe it was the peak of backflow," he said.

However, he said if it did not rule out the possibility that there would still be a second backflow peak on April 29-30, 2023, because based on data collection, travelers leaving the Banyumas area through Ajibarang only reached around 50 percent.

Previously, the Head of Banyumas Police, Kombes Pol. Edy Suranta Sitepu, appealed to the evictions from the southern route of Central Java who were about to return to Jakarta and its surroundings to take advantage of the route to the Pemalang Toll Road via the Sokaraja-Purbalingga-Belik road.

If you use the Ajibarang route to the Brebes Toll Road, he continued, it is feared that there will be a long traffic density because on the Ajibarang-Brebes road there is a bottleneck alias narrowing of the lane.
