Police: Odd-even Remains At 13 Points When DKI Has PPKM Level 3 Status

JAKARTA - The Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya continues to enforce the odd-even system in 13 areas when Jakarta has the status of Level 3 Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

"Odd-even is currently still in 13 areas because we will observe closely whether there is a shift from private to public transportation," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo, quoted by Antara, Monday, February 7.

Sambodo said that the temporary data showed a downward trend in the number of passengers on public transportation, so that the odd-even policy would remain in effect for the time being.

"Coordination with Mr. Kadishub DKI Jakarta, in fact, in public transportation there has been a decrease in the number of passengers, so we are still carrying out odd-even cases," he said.

Sambodo said the police together with the DKI Jakarta Transportation Service are currently waiting for instructions from the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding the technical implementation of PPKM Level 3 in Jakarta.

However, the instruction will be used as material for evaluating the implementation of the odd-even system in the capital. One of the things that are taken into consideration when making policies include working from home or work from home (WFH) and working in the office or work from office (WFO) during PPKM level 3.

"Later, we will see what the Inmendagri, PPKM level 3 in Jakarta looks like," said Sambodo.

Currently, odd-even areas in Jakarta apply to 13 roads every Monday-Friday starting at 06.00-10.00 WIB and 16.00-20.00 WIB.

While odd-even does not apply on Saturdays, Sundays, and National Holidays.

There are also 13 roads, namely Jalan Thamrin, Jalan Sudirman, Jalan Sisingamangaraja, Jalan Panglima Polim, Jalan Fatmawati from Jalan Ketimun 1 Intersection to Jalan TB Simatupang Intersection.

Then Jalan Tomang Raya, Jalan Letjen S Parman from the intersection of Jalan Tomang Raya to Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jalan MT Haryono, Jalan HR Rasuna Said, and Jalan Panjaitan.

Next, Jalan Ahmad Yani starts at the Bekasi Timur Raya Intersection to the Perintis Kemerdekaan Road Intersection and Jalan Gunung Sahari.
