TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Ministry of Transportation and the Indonesian National Police are preparing various strategies to manage the flow of Eid al-Fitr 2025 homecoming traffic. The government is implementing several traffic systems, including contraflow and one-way systems on toll roads experiencing high congestion.
Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi said that the Indonesian Traffic Police Corps (Korlantas Polri) has put in place both local and national one-way traffic management, adjusted to the specific conditions where congestion occurs.
"The one-way policy is then regularly evaluated based on the current situation," he said in the ministry's official statement on Friday night, March 28, 2025.
According to information from the Indonesian Traffic Police Corps, the national one-way policy on the Cikampek-Kalikangkung Toll Road began on March 28, 2025, at 09:00 AM WIB. The Ministry of Transportation is coordinating with bus terminal operators to ensure adequate fleet availability and passenger comfort. The Ministry is also monitoring ticket fares and bus transport safety standards to provide optimal service.
Dudy noted an increase in vehicle volume in the days leading up to Eid. He, along with the Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Affairs, Luhut B. Pandjaitan, monitored the peak of the land homecoming traffic through the Jasa Marga Toll-road Command Center (JMTC) in Jatiasih, Bekasi, the previous night.
The total traffic volume leaving Jakarta through the four main toll gates (10 to 4 days before Eid) reached 1.2 million vehicles, a 20.3 percent increase compared to normal conditions. Of this number, the majority of traffic, 609,000 vehicles, was heading east, representing a 48.3 percent increase from normal daily traffic.
Dudy urged the public to use rest areas responsibly. "Rest when tired or sleepy, but also limit your time in rest areas to prevent congestion," he advised. The 2025 Eid al-Fitr Transportation Central Post is operating 24 hours a day for 22 days, from March 21 to April 11.
