JAKARTA - The East Jakarta Metro Police Traffic Unit netted dozens of cars using odd-numbered plates when crossing Jalan Pramuka, Utan Kayu Utara, East Jakarta when the odd-even (gage) operation for four-wheeled vehicles was implemented.

Police raided vehicles leading from Rawamangun to Pramuka Market on Monday, June 6. As previously noted, this time Jalan Pramuka became one of the new odd-even expansion points as previously stated regarding the addition of odd-even areas.

Head of Binops Satlantas East Jakarta Iptu Danoe said, although various socializations have been carried out, there are still many motorists who do not know the implementation of the odd-even rule.

This is evidenced by the number of vehicles netted during the raid until 08.45 WIB.

"From 06.00 to 08.45, there were 30 to 40 violations (of cars), many still don't know," Danoe told reporters on Monday, June 6.

Even so, the police have not given fines to motorists caught in raids.

"For one week we are still carrying out verbal warnings. From June 13 onwards, if there are still violations, we will give them a fine," he said.

Starting today, Monday 6 June, the number of roads that apply the odd-even vehicle system in DKI Jakarta has increased to 26 points. This is in accordance with Governor Regulation (Pergub) Number 88 of 2019.

In the early stages of implementing the odd-even expansion of Jakarta, the police will not immediately ticket violators. Previously, the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya confirmed that it would expand the implementation of the odd-even (gage) system on DKI Jakarta roads by adding 13 new points.
