JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has issued a policy regarding restrictions on vehicle mobility in 10 areas. In this policy, vehicles are only allowed to pass at certain hours.

"We have taken a policy together, starting tonight, we will limit the mobility of road users," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Monday, May 21.

Yursi said, any vehicle may only pass before 21.00 WIB to 04.00 WIB. In addition, the reason for implementing the policy is only in certain areas due to the high potential for the spread of COVID-19.

For example, the Bulungan area, South Jakarta. There are many goulash traders so there is a potential for crowds.

"Why at 21.00 WIB? Because there is a rule at 21.00 WIB at night, the activity must be completed, the restaurant must be closed, even though we still carried out the Yustisi Operation there," said Yusri. "This is a restriction, don't use lock down, it doesn't exist," continued Yusri.

Adding that the Director of Traffic of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said that with this policy, his party would sort out who could pass through the area.

In addition, a traffic flow diversion scheme will also be implemented to anticipate congestion that may occur.

"There are some exceptions that may pass. First, it is clear that residents on the road segment are allowed, the second relates to health, ambulances, pharmacies, the destination hospital is still allowed to pass, thirdly if there is a hotel then hotel guests and will visit the hotel are still allowed. Emergency mobility, fire, ambulance, police, TNI, disciplinary enforcement patrols are allowed," said Sambodo.
