### Naming controversy

Purwakarta Regent, Dedi Mulyadi, protested the naming of the Cikampek - Palimanan toll road due to the location of the toll road segment is located in Cikopo, Purwakarta Regency, instead of Cikampek which is located at Karawang Regency. He pointed out past mistakes in naming the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road. The location of the interchanges are geographically located in Cikopo, Purwakarta. The distance between the interchanges and the toll gate to the boundary of Cikopo with Cikampek is still 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away. Finally, during the inauguration in June 2015 the name of this toll road was changed from the Cikampek-Palimanan Toll Road (Cikapali) to Cikopo–Palimanan Toll Road (Cipali).

### Opening and accidents

On 13 June 2015, Cikopo–Palimanan toll road was opened by Indonesian president, Joko Widodo. Since then, Jakarta and Cirebon are now directly connected by toll road. Within six months of being inaugurated by President Jokowi, there have been 88 accidents in this Cikopo-Palimanan toll causing a number of people to be killed and injured. According to Ofyar Z. Tamin, Transport Expert from Bandung Institute of Technology, argued that there are 3 possible major factors that caused accidents and incidents in this toll road:
* Design flaws
Although Tamin argued that this factor isn't as significant as it involves Planning Consultant in the design.
* Vehicles that are Being used
Tamin argued that most vehicles who were involved in the accidents can range from brake failures or overloaded capacity.
* Driver's condition
Tamin argued that drivers who are feeling tired or drowsy or even those who are chasing schedules, are forcing themselves to drive in unfit conditions. He further explained that one of the efforts that can be done to reduce the high number of accidents on the Cipali Toll Road is to increase the number of signs, markers, and road signs, including warning signs.

*Although Kertajati International Airport will be connected directly to Cisumdawu Toll Road, the design of construction might won't realize the plan since the Kertajati Airport Link is being constructed in the place where Kertajati Trumpet Exit is. The number of km is just the assumption, regarding the safety connections in the expressway.

## Future

Due to the operational of Jakarta-Cikampek Elevated Toll Road (renamed as Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Skyway in April 2021), the government will expand this toll road gradually to 3-4 lanes per direction from the current 2, with the priority seeks for Cikampek terminus, to handle more traffic influx using this toll road. The toll road is believed to be overcap in the near term since the operation of the said elevated toll road.
The Cisumdawu Toll Road also connects this toll road to Bandung and Kertajati International Airport in the Kertajati proper area. Patimban Deep Sea Port is planned to be connected by Patimban Access Toll Road to Cipali Toll Road.
