A survey by Indikator Politik Indonesia shows that the majority of Indonesians agree with the one-way traffic policy and the contraflow policy implemented during the 2023 Lebaran exodus.
The results show that 82.2% of respondents who traveled for Lebaran agreed with the traffic engineering policies on several toll road sections.
"Regarding the one-way and contraflow policies, especially on certain road sections, 74.3% of respondents who did not travel for Lebaran also agreed with these policies," said Burhanuddin Muhtadi, Executive Director of Indikator Politik Indonesia, in a virtual press conference on Sunday (14/5/2023).
The survey also indicates that the majority of citizens rated the traffic police officers on duty during the exodus period as friendly (77.3%), communicative (72.5%), and helpful (83.2%), with more positive evaluations given by those who traveled for Lebaran.
This survey was conducted through telephone interviews with 1,218 respondents in Indonesia aged 17 years or older, or who were married, between April 30 and May 6, 2023. Sample selection was conducted using the random digit dialing (RDD) method. RDD is a technique for selecting samples through the random generation of telephone numbers.
Using the RDD technique, respondent samples were selected through a process of random telephone number generation, validation, and screening. The survey's margin of error is approximately 2.9% at a 95% confidence level, assuming simple random sampling.
