The locations for the ODOL control operations are the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, the Jakarta-Tangerang Toll Road and the Ngawi-Kertosono Toll Road.

"In that period, there were 649 vehicles proven to be ODOL, or about 63 percent of the total 1,030 vehicles caught in the operation for cracking down on ODOL vehicles. This number decreased by 3.97 percent compared to the same period in 2021," said Heru in a written statement issued received in Jakarta, Antara, Monday, March 14.

Of the total 649 vehicles, Jasa Marga noted that around 493 vehicles (75.96 percent) were overloaded (overloaded), 61 vehicles (9.40 percent) were overloaded (Over Dimension), and as many as 95 vehicles (14.64 percent). violate the completeness of driving documents.
