JATENG - The Solo City Government (Pemkot) issued a regional regulation (perda) that requires residents to own cars with a garage.

"This regulation is contained in Regional Regulation Number 10 of 2022 concerning the Implementation of Transportation," said Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in Solo, Central Java, Wednesday, March 1, which was confiscated by Antara.

The rules for car owners to have a garage are contained in Article 88 which states that every owner and/or user of a motorized vehicle must store their vehicle in the garage or in a place that does not result in road function disruption.

In addition, the same article also stipulates sanctions that read, administrative sanctions as referred to in paragraph in the form of warnings, written warnings, revocation of membership cards, a fine of at least Rp. 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand rupiah) and a maximum of Rp. 1,000,000.00 (one million rupiah), and/or revocation of permits.

Regarding these sanctions, said Gibran, it will only be implemented after socialization to the public. The time for socialization for the next 1 year.

"Later, sanctions will be stated in the regulation, this is still socialization. We can't immediately (ask) residents to build a garage, it's impossible," he said.

Head of the Solo City Transportation Service (Dishub) Taufiq Muhammad added that currently it is still in the socialization stage first.

"Yes, maybe about 1 year. We see what kind of development it is because the preparation of the garage is also not an easy matter," he said.

During the socialization, he said, sanctions would not be applied. In the socialization, his party will involve the sub-district and village heads.

"We are more on the approach first. After 1 year, we will evaluate it later," he said.
