JAKARTA - Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General Karyoto directly observed the traffic flow on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road on the first day of the 2023 Eid backflow. From the existing data, traffic is still normal.
Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Latif Usman said the number of vehicles passing was still at 3,000 vehicles per hour. Traffic leading to the Inner City Toll Road and JORR Toll Road is still under control.
"Those who enter the city are still under control, entering Tanjung Priok, North JORR is also still under control, entering the South JORR towards Pondok Indah is also very under control," Latif said in his official statement, Tuesday, April 25.
Latif said, based on police officers' observations, there was no congestion on the toll road to Jakarta. The police also continue to urge people who are tired not to stop on the shoulder of the road. Because, he said, this often causes traffic jams.
"Don't let there be the slightest obstacle. For example, what we anticipate is parking on the shoulder of the road, because we are tired of stopping, this must go to the rest area. If there is an accident, we have to finish it as soon as possible, so there is no buildup," he said.
Nevertheless, Latif said the police would remain on standby if at any time there was a surge in the volume of vehicles trying to enter Jakarta. He ensured that the traffic flow ran smoothly without a hitch.
"If we receive a large flow, we are ready, namely we have prepared all toll gates for monitoring. After exiting the toll gate in the arteries, we arranged it in such a way, the guard was tightened, so there were no obstacles at all on this toll road," he said.
If necessary, Latif continued, contra flow traffic engineering will be implemented on the Inner City Toll Road to anticipate a surge in the volume of existing vehicles.
If there is a buildup on the Inner City Toll Road, the vehicle will be directed to Tanjung Priok or Pondok Indah first.
"We distribute the average if the density occurs in the city, it will be thrown into Tanjung Priok or towards Pondok Indah. Of course, there will be problems at the toll gate. We will add toll roads and toll gate officers," explained Latif.
"After that, we will maximize the arterial route. Exiting the toll road is strengthened from Cibatu, Cibitung, Cikarang, West Cikarang, to West Bekasi, East Bekasi, and exit toll roads throughout Jakarta will be strengthened by personnel assisted from Sabhara and Brimob to properly facilitate the flow that will exit this toll road," he concluded.
