Anies Signs Kepgub Jakarta PPKM Level 3, Polda Metro Prepares Special Formula

JAKARTA - The Directorate of Traffic (Ditlantas) of the Polda Metro Jaya is still preparing a formula that will be applied during the 2021 and 2022 Christmas holidays. Jakarta continues to apply PPKM Level 3 based on the Governor's Decree Anies Baswedan.

"We are discussing the most appropriate formula for the implementation of New Year's Eve," said Director of Traffic and Traffic of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Wednesday, December 8.

The scheme that is likely to be implemented is Crowed Free Night (CFN). Then, combining it with the operating hours of a number of locations such as cafes which are allowed to operate until 24.00 WIB.

"We will combine the operating hours with the implementation of the CFN starting from what time. Because it will be difficult if with existing rules the cafe is open until 12.00 pm," said Sambodo.

"If I am CFN from 10 o'clock, how is it disbanded. So there are rules that still have to be mixed and matched, of course, with the mobility requirements in the Christmas and New Year masses," continued Sambodo.

There is also talk of implementing an odd-even scheme on toll roads. However, until now, the scheme is still in the process of drafting.

"This includes, for example, written rules that are the basis for implementing odd-even on toll roads. Right now, many people say written rules, we are still waiting for a decision whether from the Ministry of Transportation or the task force regarding odd-even on toll roads," said Sambodo.

The DKI Jakarta government previously confirmed that it would implement the Level 3 Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) for 10 days towards the end of the year from 24 December 2021 to 2 January 2022.
