Jakarta Odd-Even License Plate Number Regulation Scheme Changed, Two Shifts Until Weekend Not Valid

JAKARTA - There will be slight changes to the odd-even license plate number regulation scheme in Jakarta. The application time which is divided into two shifts does not apply on weekends.

"So we return to the Governor's Regulation, that the first odd-even applies from 06.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. and then from 16.00 p.m. to 20.00 p.m.," said Traffic Director of Metro Jaya Police, Commissioner Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Friday, October 15.

In the previous rule, the odd-even scheme is carried out in full. This means it was valid from 06.00 to 20.00.

Then, the odd-even policy will also not apply on weekends. Thus, vehicles with odd or even police numbers can pass at the three points where the scheme currently applies.

"Only valid from Monday to Friday, for Saturday, Sunday, and national holidays, odd-even does not apply," said Sambodo.

On the other hand, Sambodo also said that starting today under the odd-even scheme, officers will not be on guard at the point of application. But, officers will patrol.

So, if there is a violation, it will be immediately dealt with either manually or by e-TLE.

"Of course, every day we will do the matching so that no community gets a ticket twice, both manual ticket and e-TLE ticket," said Sambodo.
