JAKARTA - The Ministry of Transportation said that vehicle traffic regulation during the G20 Summit in Bali, until Monday, November 14, was still running smoothly.

The compliance of road users with the odd-even (gage) implementation from day to day is increasing. Since being tested on November 9 until it is fully valid on November 13, 2022, the level of compliance of road users has reached 88 percent, especially in the Nusa Dua area, which is the venue for the G20 Summit.

In addition, traffic on a number of odd-even roads and restrictions on goods transportation are also quite smooth. With an average vehicle speed of between 35 to 54 km/hour and the volume to Capacity (VC) Ratio below one, which is between 0.1 and 0.4. This means that the volume of vehicle movement has not exceeded the road capacity.

"We express our gratitude and appreciation to road users in Bali, who also succeeded in organizing the G20 Summit by complying with traffic regulations," said Transportation Ministry Spokesperson Adita Irawati in a written statement, Tuesday, November 15.

For your information, the Ministry of Transportation through the Directorate General of Land Transportation has issued Circular Letter Number 3 of 2022 concerning Traffic Regulations During the Implementation Period of the 2022 G20 Summit in Bali, which was issued on October 31, 2022.

There are two traffic engineering schemes carried out, namely a scheme for implementing the odd-even system and limiting the operation of goods transport. This arrangement will take effect from November 13 to 17, 2022, from 06.00 to 22.00 WITA, which is enforced on 10 main roads in Bali.

Prior to its implementation, a series of coordinations had been carried out with stakeholders, including the police, the transportation service, the organizing committee, and other related parties.

The Ministry of Transportation together with the Korlantas Polri and the Bali Provincial Transportation Service have also conducted socialization and trials of implementing this traffic engineering arrangement.

"Today and tomorrow is the peak meeting of the G20 leaders. Of course, officers have been prepared at a number of points to ensure smooth traffic for delegates who attend and also for the general public who travel," concluded Adita.
