JAKARTA - The Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya has not implemented an odd-even system in the near future due to the policy of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government regarding Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) Transition which was again extended.

"The odd-even system has not been implemented due to the extension of the transitional PSBB period," said Director of the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo to reporters, Monday, November 9.

With the odd-even system not in place, all vehicles can pass through the protocol road space. However, later this system could be implemented at any time depending on the PSBB policy decision from the Provincial Government (Pemprov).

Previously, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan extended the Transitional Large-Scale Social Restriction (PSBB) period for 14 days. The transitional PSBB takes effect from Monday, 9 November to 22 November.

The extension of the Transitional PSBB is based on the Decree of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Province Number 1100 of 2020

"As we all know, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government can implement an emergency brake policy if there is a significant increase in cases or an alarming rate of transmission, thus endangering health system services," DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan in his statement, Sunday, November 8. .
