JAKARTA - Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept. officers have netted dozens of two-wheeled vehicles parked above public facilities on sidewalks and road shoulders.

The vehicle which was caught from along Jalan Cikini and Pasar Senen was given a ticket by the Traffic Unit of the Central Jakarta Police.

"Today, the focus is on Jalan Cikini and Pasar Senen. As a result, 30 motorbikes have been netted, from those transported, they were ticketed on the spot," said Head of the Road Transportation Section of the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department, Haryo Bagus, to reporters at the location, Wednesday, May 18.

In addition to cracking down on two-wheeled vehicles, the joint officers also fined two four-wheeled vehicles parked in any place.

"Two cars were ticketed," he said.

Haryo further said that the targets of the vehicles being disciplined were vehicles that parked their vehicles on the shoulders of roads and sidewalks.

The reason is, there are still many people who violate it due to lack of legal awareness so that violations occur.

"If they are aware of the law, they probably won't park on the shoulders and sidewalks," he said.

As a result of controlling these vehicles, vehicles that are not transported by nets will be ticketed directly by the police.

Meanwhile, vehicles transported by nets will be ticketed at the Central Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department by the police.

"We will continue to carry out this activity regularly, with the aim that motorists do not park their vehicles in prohibited places," he said.
