Traffic Engineering Measures Applied on Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road to Manage Congestion During Lebaran

In anticipation of the Lebaran holiday, traffic congestion has been a concern for those traveling on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road. To manage the flow of vehicles, contraflow traffic engineering measures have been implemented in the Karawang district of West Java.

According to Ria Marlinda Paallo, the VP Corporate Secretary and Legal of PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol, the contraflow measures were put in place to manage the buildup of vehicles near the KM 57 rest area of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road. "Contraflow from KM 55 to KM 61 on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road in the direction of Cikampek is carried out at the discretion of the police," she said.

To improve the efficiency of toll transactions, PT Jasamarga Transjawa Tol (JTT) has increased the number of toll booths at the Cikampek Utama toll gate from 13 to 18, and an additional 17 mobile readers have been deployed to increase transaction capacity.

JTT also advises travelers to prepare themselves before entering the toll road by ensuring their vehicles are in good condition, that they have sufficient electronic money balances, and that they have adequate fuel before setting out on their journey. Additionally, travelers should bring provisions to avoid crowds or congestion at rest areas.

As of Saturday afternoon, traffic was heavily congested with private vehicles dominating the flow of traffic. The congestion was caused by the buildup of vehicles around rest areas, leading to queues of vehicles trying to enter the areas and "spilling over" onto the toll road.

In contrast, traffic flow was relatively smooth on Saturday morning and afternoon, with congestion only occurring later in the day. By implementing traffic engineering measures such as contraflow, JTT hopes to manage the flow of traffic and improve the overall travel experience for travelers on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road during the Lebaran holiday.
