The Indonesian National Police  (INP) Traffic Corps has planned with traffic management strategies to handle an estimated 70 million vehicles expected to hit the roads during the Eid homecoming and return journey in 2024. The goal is to prevent traffic congestion and delays, as reported by antaranews.com.

It includes around 37 million buses, 35 million private cars, and 31 million motorcycles. According to surveys by the Ministry of Transportation, an estimated 193.6 million people are anticipated to travel during Eid this year, marking a significant increase from the previous year's 123 million. The top regions of origin for travelers include East Java, Greater Jakarta, Central Java, West Java, and North Sumatra, while East Java remains the primary destination for travelers.
