Freight vehicles transporting animal feed are also still permitted. Followed by vehicles for disaster relief purposes, free homecoming and return trip motorcycles, and basic necessities.

“Period 1 on Friday, December 19–Saturday, December 20 from 00:00 to 24:00 local time,” wrote the Korlantas Polri announcement.
