“If there is a projected increase in the number of vehicles, it is almost 7 to 10 percent from normal days. And compared to last year (2024), there is also an increase, both goods vehicles including passenger vehicles,” said Inspector General Agus, when met at the Bali Police Traffic Directorate Office in Denpasar, Wednesday afternoon.
He said that his party had held a meeting with the Ketapang-Gilimanuk River, Lake and Ferry Transport (ASDP) and that the increase in vehicles would also have an impact on Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport.
“So, accumulated and explained, there is an increase of 10 percent which we have to manage. This includes the impact later on the airport in Bali and how many tourists are present, we will see later. Later this will be related to the existing parameters of traffic in Bali,” he added.
For the 2025-2026 Christmas Candle Operation, he said it would be held from December 20, 2025 to January 2, 2026.
Then the flow of vehicles will start to become denser on the island of Bali, which is predicted to occur before December 20th.However, the peak will occur on December 24, 2025.
“The 24th is a fairly significant peak flow. Both from Gilimanuk Harbor, including other ports, including at the airport. This has been predicted by everyone,” he explained.
In order to anticipate extreme weather such as natural disasters, namely floods and landslides during Christmas, the party has mapped four clusters.First, manage toll roads and arterials or main public roads, including alternative roads.
Then, guarantee security at all port crossings in Indonesia such as Gilimanuk-Ketapang Port, Merak Port, Cilegon City, Banten, Bakauheni Port, Lampung.
Then, if a contingency or extreme weather condition occurs such as floods, landslides, an emergency plan has been prepared.
For example, if there are big waves in the Ketapang-Gilimanuk waters so that crossings cannot be carried out, then the authorities already have a scenario to overcome the accumulation of passengers and vehicles at the port.
“We have prepared this. So

We have prepared how to act.Do we, prepare

to store vehicles that cannot cross,” said Kakorlantas Polri.
