Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, Towards the peak of the Eid 2026 homecoming flow, the Karawang Police are taking firm action at the point most prone to traffic jams, namely Simpang Jomin. The control operation, which was led directly by the Head of the PAM Jomin Post, Inspector Suherlan, targeted the activities of illegal parking attendants or "Pak Ogah" who were determined to turn vehicles around on the flyover descent. This step was taken to ensure that the main route of Pantura Karawang remains smooth without side obstacles.This illegal activity on the Jomin flyover derivative is considered to be the cause of the long traffic jams that travelers often complain about. Under the command of Operation Ketupat Lodaya 2026, officers ensure that there are no more gaps for individuals who take advantage of the situation to carry out illegal levies (extortion) by endangering the safety of road users. "The instructions are clear, homecoming routes in the jurisdiction of the Jatisari Police and its surroundings must be sterile. We will not hesitate to impose sanctions on anyone who disrupts the function of the road, especially at accident-prone points such as this flyover descent," emphasized Inspector Suherlan at the location, Thursday (19/3/2026).
Legally, the actions of these illegal parking attendants violate Law no. 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. Perpetrators can be subject to criminal sanctions or fines because they are deemed to have deliberately disturbed public order. The presence of officers at Simpang Jomin Karawang this afternoon immediately had an impact on traffic flow which was observed to be flowing more smoothly than in previous days.The police appealed to travelers crossing the Pantura Karawang route not to give money to illegal parking attendants in order to break the chain of illegal activity. With strict 24-hour supervision at the Jomin PAM Post, it is hoped that this year's homecoming flow will be safe, orderly and free from traffic jams caused by human factors.
