JAKARTA - Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas) officers of Polda Metro Jaya still give a humanistic warning to traffic violators, even though there is no manual ticket for the safety and comfort of fellow road users.

"We are carrying out active warnings in the form of humane appeals to motorists who are still violating the road," said Head of Gatur Polda Metro Jaya Kompol. M Agung Permana, quoting ANtara, Sunday.

Agung explained that his party was actively appealing for a humanistic warning against motorists who violated on Sunday from 14.00 WIB to completion.

Three locations were reached by the police, namely the Hotel Indonesia roundabout (HI) area, the Kuningan red light, and the Pancoran red light.

Agung hopes that with this warning, he will be increasingly aware of the importance of complying with the traffic rules that have been set.

Of course, this activity aims to ensure the safety and security of road users, especially two or four wheels, while driving.

"We must educate the public, one of which is the danger of not wearing a helmet while driving and still we invite them to continue the road after that," said Agung.

Agung also ensured that he had ordered his staff not to make illegal levies while on duty on the road.

"Strict sanctions are also waiting for the police who are proven to continue to collect extortion while on duty," he said.

Previously, the National Police Chief, General Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo instructed the National Police Korlantas to optimize static and mobile electronic tickets and reduce manual tickets to avoid illegal levies (extortion).

The instruction is contained in the Telegram Letter of the National Police Chief Number: ST/2264/X/HUM.3.4.5./2022 dated October 18, 2022, signed by the Head of Korlantas Polri Inspector General Pol. Firman Shantyabudi.

Related to this, the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya followed up by withdrawing all ticket books from the traffic police as one of the steps towards eliminating manual tickets.

Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya has started to fully use the Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) system.
