Indonesia's Traffic Corps estimates just 15 percent of Lebaran 2026 return vehicles remain outside Jakarta as of Saturday night. The peak return flow has passed, with traffic managed through measures like one-way systems and contraflows.

CIKAMPEK — Indonesia's Traffic Corps estimates 15 percent of Lebaran 2026 return vehicles remain outside Jakarta as of Saturday (28/3/2026) night, down from 22 percent in the morning. Traffic Corps Chief Irjen Pol Agus Suryonugroho stated this at Rest Area KM 62 on the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road.

"If calculated, this morning it was still 22 percent, tonight it's likely down to 15 percent," Agus said. He noted the remaining flow mainly from West Java and the Trans Java corridor.

Traffic conditions are under control, with one-way local stage II from KM 263 to KM 70 ongoing, and a one-lane contraflow from KM 70-55. Plans to withdraw the measures were canceled as flow from Central Java remains flat, per reports from Kalikangkung Toll Gate.

National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo confirmed the peak return has passed, with 13.07 percent or 385,262 vehicles left based on PT Jasa Marga data. "Overall, we see that the peak return flow has been passed," Sigit said.

Agus highlighted concerns over unpredictable southern routes, as well as dense but managed Pantura and South Coast roads. Bakauheni-Merak flow is smooth following joint monitoring with the Police Chief. The Corps continues regulating three-axle vehicles and is prepared to extend measures if needed.
