Change Of Basic Color Of Vehicle Number Plates, Korlantas: June Auction, We'll See Cars In Jakarta Wear White Plates

JAKARTA - The National Police Chief of Traffic, Inspector General Firman Shantyabudi, said that the transition of the basic color of vehicle number plates from black to white has entered the final stage. So, this June, vehicles in Jakarta can already use the new plates.

"So in June God willing, I will auction it, later we can see that new cars in Jakarta have started wearing white warrants," said Firman to reporters, Monday, June 13.

In the transition process, the preferred vehicle is a vehicle that has exhausted its five-year tax.

The reason for prioritizing vehicles is so that the administration process for changing number plates is easier. Then, it does not burden the public to quickly replace their vehicle number plates.

"So there is no burden on the people whose black plates have to be white, because there are costs there," he said.

In addition, the change in the basic color of the vehicle's plate is intended to maximize electronic prosecution. Because, with the current black base color, the ETLE camera's accuracy in reading license plates is still considered lacking.

"Helps maximize capture from ETLE. So with a light color base with dark letters it stands out more," said Firman.
