JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has temporarily eliminated the odd-even implementation in the DKI Jakarta area. This decision is related to Eid Al-Fitr 2024.

"The odd-even policy will be abolished from April 6 to 15, 2024," wrote the Instagram account @tmcpoldametro quoted on Saturday, March 30.

The elimination of odd-even at that time was in accordance with Governor Regulation (Pergub) 88 of 209 which in Article 3 paragraph (3) explains that traffic restrictions with the odd-even system were not implemented on Saturdays and Sundays.

Then, the traffic policy was also not enforced on national holidays stipulated by a Presidential Decree (Keppres).
