TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PT Jasa Marga has projected that the inbound traffic of Eid al-Adha will concentrate on Jakarta-Cikampek toll road on Friday, September 9.
"There will be a surge in traffic by 14 percent," said Jasa Marga Spokesperson, Iwan Abrianto.
Iwan said that normally, traffic in the toll road per day will be around 88,347 vehicles. It will be around 100,716 vehicles.
Iwan added that the surge in number is because there will be a long holiday for the people of Jakarta - making homecoming a viable option on that day.
In order to anticipate the inundated traffic, traffic officers will be deployed on thick spots like in Cikunir, Jakarta Outer Ring Road, and the toll road.
"We will also apply open-close system in several rest areas," he said.
