Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, The Karawang Resort Police (Polres) continues to carry out strict supervision of the operations of goods transport vehicles during the Eid 2026 homecoming and return flow period. Reported by the West Java Tribune, officers in the field are recorded as taking action against at least 20 to 30 three-axle vehicles or more every day for violating operational restrictions which are in effect from March 13 to March 29 2026. Karawang Police Chief, AKBP Fiki Novian Ardiansyah emphasized that this action was an implementation of central government policy to ensure smooth traffic flow. The sweeping operation was carried out at a number of strategic points, starting from the rest area, the West Karawang and East Karawang toll gates, to along the arterial route. "From the start, we have consistently taken action against three-axle vehicles or more. This is a policy from the center and we are implementing it," said AKBP Fiki, Thursday (26/3/2026).
In the law enforcement process in the field, the police impose manual fines for drivers who are found to be stubborn. This firm action was taken after the police previously carried out outreach and repeated appeals to goods transport entrepreneurs not to operate large vehicles, except for those transporting basic necessities which fall into the exception category.Even though the rules had been socialized, several drivers admitted that they were forced to pass because factory operations had returned to normal. One of the truck drivers who was prosecuted while passing from Dawuan to Karawang said that he had to keep going because production activities at his place of work had restarted after the Eid holiday. However, the police still adhere to restrictive regulations for the safety and smooth running of millions of other road users.Quoted from Cikwan Suwandi's report, this enforcement step is part of the priority of securing backflow so that traffic remains smooth and controlled. Karawang Police appealed to logistics entrepreneurs to comply with the restriction schedule until March 29 to avoid fines. It is hoped that compliance by all parties will minimize the potential for severe traffic jams on the main routes of Karawang Regency during the peak of the second wave of reverse flow.
