ILLUSTRA TION BY VOI

JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, claims that the expansion of the odd-even system in 25 Jakarta roads, which has been implemented since June 6, has succeeded in reducing congestion or improving traffic performance.

"So, from the evaluation results for odd-even, it was observed that there was an increase in traffic performance, both in terms of vehicle volume," Syafrin told reporters, Tuesday, June 14.

Based on monitoring on a number of odd-even roads, the subordinates of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said the average speed of vehicles during peak and daily hours was above 30 kilometers per hour.

"This means that there is an increase in traffic performance and we continue to evaluate this," said Syafrin.

As is known, DKI again applies odd-even on 25 roads. The odd-even implementation of 25 road sections had taken effect before the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, previously odd-even applies on 13 roads.

The odd-even 25 road sections have been implemented since June 6 with a socialization period. Meanwhile, fines for odd-even violators will take effect on June 13, 2022.

Syafrin explained that the expansion of the odd-even system in 25 roads was due to the traffic volume which is now starting to increase, along with the easing of restrictions on community activities.

In Pergub Number 88 of 2019, the odd-even policy applies from Monday to Friday starting at 06.00-10.00 WIB and continues at 16.00-21.00 WIB.
