Korlantas Polri, under the leadership of Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, reported that as of tonight, 44% of the projected 2.2 million vehicles expected to enter Jakarta during the 2025 post-Eid al-Fitr exodus have already arrived. This information was conveyed by Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho to the press on Saturday, April 5, 2025, alongside Police Chief General Listyo Sigit, who inspected the readiness of facilities such as rest areas, stations, and traffic engineering, including local one-way systems implemented by the Central Java Regional Police.
Measures Taken and Field Inspections
-
Traffic Control: Despite the already high influx, law enforcement has been redirecting and managing traffic flow, particularly towards Jakarta, through gradual local one-way implementations by the Central Java Regional Police.
-
Field Inspections: Police Chief General Listyo Sigit personally visited Rest Area 456 to assess the one-way system and station operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly to support the return exodus.
Focus on Safety and Increased Personnel
-
Safety Emphasis: The evaluation of the Eid al-Fitr “mudik” (hometown exodus) and return exodus includes directives to optimize security measures for a safe and enjoyable journey.
-
Personnel Deployment: Recognizing the shorter duration of the return exodus, a heightened presence of personnel, including on non-toll roads, arterial roads, and tourist spots, is being maintained to secure the routes and provide assistance to travelers, as per the instructions of Police Chief General Listyo Sigit.
Adaptation to Traffic Conditions
- Constant Monitoring: With the significant surge in traffic, law enforcement agencies are closely monitoring real-time traffic data, such as the traffic counting updates in Semarang, to adjust their strategies promptly.
The focus remains on ensuring the safety, smoothness, and comfort of both outbound and inbound travelers during this period, with an aim to create a joyous and secure travel experience for all families.
