Thousands of cars crossed Kilometer (Km) 72 of the Cipali Toll Road, Karawang, West Java, Thursday (20/4/2023). The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) predicts that the peak of Lebaran homecoming will occur on April 19 and 20 2023.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The annual Idul Fitri holiday mudik (exodus) will peak between Wednesday to Thursday. National Police chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo said that 40-50 percent of the public will still travel through the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road to the Kalikangkung toll road. Hence, the density in traffic can be managed as best as possible.

“We have considered this because we predicted that 2-3 days [prior to Idul Fitri], there would still be a lot of traffic. I’ve observed that traffic is still quite high 2-3 days [prior to Idul Fitri], and it will decrease a day before [Idul Fitri],” said Listyo during a visit to the Jasa Marga command post at kilometer 70 on the Cikampek Utama tollgate.
