Jakarta: The Jakarta provincial administration started a trial of an expansion of the odd-even license plate traffic policy on Monday. The trial is held at 16 routes in the capital city.
According to Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, the expansion aims to reduce traffic in the capital city. In addition, it is also intended to improve air quality in the province.
"The current policy focuses on four-wheeled vehicles. It is needed to control traffic volume on our roads. Hopefuly it is able to reduce traffic and air pollution," Anies said.
Early this year, the Jakarta provincial administration decided to expand its odd-even license plate traffic policy. With the expansion, the policy will cover 54 kilometers of roads.
The new odd-even routes are Jalan Pintu Besar Selatan, Jalan Gajah Mada, Jalan Hayam Wuruk, Jalan Majapahit, Jalan Sisingamangaraja, Jalan Panglima Polim, Jalan Fatmawati (from intersection of Jalan Ketimun 1 - intersection of Jalan TB Simatupang), Jalan Suryopranoto, Jalan Balikpapan, Jalan Kyai Caringin, Jalan Tomang Raya, Jalan Pramuka, Jalan Salemba Raya, Jalan Kramat Raya, Jalan Senen Raya and Jalan Gunung Sahari. The policy will be enforced from 6-10 AM and 4-9 PM, except national holidays.
According to reports, the socialization phase will be held from August 7 until September 8. Meanwhile, the trial phase will be held from August 12 until September 6. The expansion will be fully effective on September 9. (Nuansa Islami) (Translator: Rifqi Akbar)
