Vehicle congestion dominates main routes in Cianjur, West Java, since H+3 Eid, with queues up to 18 kilometers toward Puncak-Bogor. Cianjur Police Resort implemented traffic engineering such as one-way systems and route closures to ease jams. Drivers are diverted to alternative routes Jonggol and Sukabumi.

Entering H+3 Eid on Monday, March 23, 2026, vehicle volume on Cianjur's main routes surged, dominated by homecomers returning to Jabodetabek and Banten since Sunday night. Long queues formed on Jalan Raya Bandung-Cianjur, Jalan Raya Puncak-Cianjur, and Jalan Raya Cianjur-Sukabumi from early morning to evening. Peak jams hit in the evening, with tails reaching 18 kilometers on Puncak-Bogor route due to mix of returnees and tourists heading to spots like Kebun Raya Cibodas and Taman Bunga Nusantara. Total vehicles passing reached 22,000 units that day. Cianjur Police Traffic Head AKP Aang Andi Suhandi stated, 'We implemented blockades and local one-way systems where traffic was closed for dozens of minutes alternately until the long queues eased.' Police closed the route from Tugu Lampu Gentur and enforced one-way on Puncak Pass to Bogor. Closures were situational, reopening when queues cleared, but jams persisted until 18:30 WIB. AKP Aang Andi Suhandi urged homecomers to avoid Puncak-Cianjur route due to high volume and expected increases on H+4. These measures aimed to prevent total gridlock.
