"This is much more organized. I believe it is because of the WFA policy," Hanggodo stated at the Kalikangkung Toll Gate here on Friday.
Meanwhile, he emphasized that the key challenge lies in managing the return traffic flow.
"We have to anticipate the return flow because the period is quite short," he remarked.
During his inspection of national roads along the northern coastal route from Central Java to West Java, the minister observed that the traffic toward Jakarta remained smooth despite the implementation of a one-way system.
Hanggodo explained that the smooth traffic was also attributed to the good condition of the national roads following repairs, which allowed travelers to commute safely and securely.
"The traffic towards Jakarta was not too congested, so even though a one-way system was implemented on the toll road, the flow of traffic to Jakarta is still manageable," he stated.
Alongside improved conditions of national roads, he also highlighted that implementing a one-way system has helped make the Eid homecoming in 2025 more orderly.
He further noted that offering toll road discounts demonstrates the government’s commitment to assisting travelers during the Eid homecoming in 2025.
Meanwhile, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Pratikno, emphasized that strong synergy among relevant parties is key to effectively managing the flow of travelers.
"We are continuously monitoring the conditions on the ground and are ready to respond quickly if any issues arise," he affirmed.
