During Cakung Flyover Open Trial, one-way system (SSA) will be applied to the frontage roads of East Outer Ring Road Toll. Here are the detailed information;

- One-way traffic is applied on the west side frontage road of East Outer Ring Road from south (Cakung Station) to north (to East Jakarta Mayor Office).

- One-way traffic is applied on the east side frontage road of East Outer Ring Road from north (Pulogebang Terminal) to south (Cakung Station).

"East Jakarta Mayor Flyover will apply one-way traffic from west to east," he added.

According to him, road users on the Pulogebang Toll Exit lane are not allowed to take a U-turn to south or towards Cakung Station.

"Road users from Pulogebang Toll Exit are directed to go straight, then turn left towards East Jakarta Mayor Office or turn right to East Jakarta Mayor Flyover ramp that leads to the east," he said.

Cakung Flyover, he continued, was built to reduce congestion due to rail crossing and minimize accidents. Because congestion often occurs in the area, especially in the morning and evening when density of vehicles increases accompanied by busy train schedule.

"Cakung Flyover is built to eliminate rail crossing which previously caused congestion and was prone to accidents," he stated.
