Irjen Agus Suryonugroho, the Chief of Traffic Police, stated that the reverse flow of Eid al-Fitr (Lebaran) travelers on the Trans Java toll road is under control. Various measures have been taken to ensure the safety and convenience of travelers returning after the holiday. Traffic engineering, such as local one-way lanes, has been implemented to manage the vehicle density heading towards Jakarta. The peak of the return flow is predicted to occur on Sunday (April 6th).
