The Acting Director General of Land Transportation, Ahmad Yani, says that during the year-end holiday, it was predicted there will be around 110 million people who will be spending their holiday. He adds that this regulation aims to create smooth traffic conditions so that people can move around seamlessly and comfortably.

This Joint Decree also states that construction project work around the road benefit space will be temporarily stopped during the 2024/2025 Christmas and New Year Eve period, namely from December 18th, 2024 at 00.00 WIB to January 5th, 2025 at 24.00 WIB.

The time of validity of these traffic regulations can be evaluated based on considerations from the police and if there is a situational change in traffic flow, operational management can be carried out in the form of police officer discretion.
