The Reason For DKI's Odd-Even Scheme Only In Three Roads: Sudirman, Thamrin, Rasuna Said

JAKARTA - The Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya only applies the odd-even scheme at three points. The reason, the three locations are office areas.

"These 3 areas are the 3 main office areas in Jakarta. During the PPKM level 3, essential, critical, WFH, WFO provisions were still being applied, some were 50 percent and so on," said Director of Traffic and Traffic of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to journalists, Tuesday, August 24.

On that basis, the three locations, namely Jalan Sudirman, Jalan MH Thamrin, and Jalan Rasuna Said, are considered appropriate locations for the implementation of the odd-even scheme. Moreover, this way is also considered to be able to limit the mobility of the community.

"So we think that on Jalan Sudirman Thamrin we still need to have restrictions on community activities, restrictions on mobility with odd-even," said Sambodo.

Even though there has been a change in the point of application, continued Sambodo, the time for odd-even enforcement is still the same. This scheme is valid from 06.00 to 20.00 WIB.

"From August 26 to August 30 we will apply (odd-even)," said Sambodo.

For information, the odd-even scheme of Jalan Sudirman, Jalan Thamrin, and Jalan Rasuna Said, starting from the Mampang Gatot Subroto intersection to the Imam Bonjol intersection.
