JAKARTA - Traffic flow on Jalan Raya Kalimalang, precisely in the Sumber Artha area, which is an Emergency PPKM blocking post for vehicles passing from Jakarta to Bekasi, is observed to be jammed.

Antara's observations at the location, Monday, July 5, at 09.00 WIB, the queue of vehicles reached about one kilometer before the blocking post on Jalan Raya Kalimalang. Joint officers from the TNI, Polri, Dishub, and Satpol PP turned the vehicle from Jakarta to Bekasi.

A number of two-wheeled and four-wheeled motorists who could not pass were forced to turn around, causing a long traffic jam.

A number of motorists were seen trying to get through the isolation post by talking to the police officers on duty. "Sir, I live in Bekasi and want to go home, but my ID card is still Jakarta," said one of the motorcyclists.

However, the police officers on duty did not let the motorist pass through the blocking post. The sound of honking vehicles was heard due to the traffic jam.

The Polda Metro Jaya has sealed off 63 points of entry and exit for Jakarta, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jadetabek) related to the policy for the Implementation of the Java-Bali Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM).

The partition in the framework of the Emergency PPKM will take effect starting Saturday at 00.00 WIB. Individuals who are still allowed to work outside the home are only those who work in essential sectors.
