PT Jasa Marga Tbk (Persero) recorded 494,091 vehicles leaving the Jabotabek area on D-7 to D-5 Idulfitri 1444 Hijri/Lebaran 2023 on Saturday-Sunday (15-17 April 2023).

This figure is the cumulative traffic flow (traffic) of the four Barrier / Main Toll Gates (GT), namely GT Cikupa (direction to Merak), GT Ciawi (direction to Puncak), GT Cikampek Utama (direction to Trans Java) and GT Kalihurip Utama (direction to Bandung).

The total volume of traffic leaving the Jabotabek area increased by 21.84% when compared to normal traffic from 405,518 vehicles. When compared to the Lebaran 2022 period, the total traffic volume was 2.3% lower (out of 505,814 vehicles).

When compared with the prediction of the 2023 Eid traffic volume in the same period, the total traffic volume is 6.3% lower than 527,094 vehicles.

Meanwhile, the distribution of traffic leaving Jabotabek towards all three directions is the majority of 260,077 vehicles (52.6%) heading East (Trans Java and Bandung), 136,252 vehicles (27.6%) heading West (Merak), and 97,762 vehicles (19.8%) heading South (Puncak).

To anticipate the surge in vehicles on toll roads, Jasa Marga will implement a contra flow scheme at kilometer 47 West Karawang to kilometer 72 Cikatama. The scheme will be implemented starting at 14.00 WIB on Tuesday 18 April.

In addition, the one way scheme will also be implemented at kilometer 72 Cikatama to kilometer 414 Kalihurip Utama. This policy is expected to reduce the volume of vehicles if there is a vehicle density from the Jabotabek direction.
