JAKARTA - The odd-even rule in Jakarta today will only be enforced until 10:00 WIB, today, Tuesday, December 31. This policy was carried out because several points in the odd-even area were enforced by closing access or diversion of currents for the 2020 New Year's Eve celebrations.

"Traffic restrictions with an odd-even system on Tuesday, December 31, 2019 will still be enforced at 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., while at 16:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., they are not enforced," said Head of Sub-Directorate of Gakkum Polda Metro Jaya Police Commissioner Fahri Siregar in a statement received by journalists, Tuesday, December 31.
