Direktorat Lalu Lintas (Dirlantas) of the Central Java Regional Police has implemented local one-way traffic engineering tonight. The one-way system is enforced from the Brebes Toll Road section to Kalikangkung. Here are the key details:
-
Initiation and Duration: The local one-way system was put in place on Thursday (March 27) starting at 11:00 PM local time and remains in effect.
-
Affected Area: Vehicles coming from the Semarang direction are no longer allowed to enter the Kalikangkung Toll Gate.
-
Reason: This traffic measure was taken to anticipate the spike in the homecoming flow (mudik) from west to east regions of Java.
-
Traffic Increase: Kombes (Chief Commissioner) Sonny Irawan mentioned a rise in the number of vehicles, escalating from 3,000 to 4,700 units from Thursday afternoon to night, observed between Tol Cikatama and GT Kalikangkung.
-
Decision Criteria: The one-way setup was decided based on traffic volume indicators consistently hitting around 4,000 vehicles for 3 to 4 hours, along with congestion reports at Pejagan intersections and an overall traffic surge.
-
Route and Direction: The local one-way route spans from kilometer 261 in Brebes to kilometer 414 in Kalikangkung. Lane B, typically used for east-to-west traffic, is redirected for west-to-east vehicles.
-
National One-Way: The national one-way regulations will be announced the following morning, awaiting instructions from the Traffic Corps (Korlantas). Currently, the enforcement is localized within the Central Java Police area.
This initiative aims to streamline traffic flow and enhance safety during the anticipated increase in holiday travel.
