JAKARTA - Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said the implementation of the odd-even scheme as a substitute for the partition scheme was very effective. This is because only suitable vehicles can pass through Jakarta.

"One of the reasons why we do this is for effectiveness. By using this odd-even system, members can easily monitor that only those who pass by are those according to the date on which they carry out their mobility," Sambodo told reporters, Tuesday, August 10.

"If the date is odd, it means the number plate must be odd, the even date means the number plate must be even," continued Sambodo.

In this odd-even scheme, continued Sambodo, it will regulate or reduce the number of four-wheeled vehicles or more. Thus, the mobility of the community will be monitored.

While for two-wheeled vehicles, this scheme does not apply. Thus, motorcyclists can move around in Jakarta in accordance with the conditions set by the government.

"This applies to wheels 4 and above, so for wheels 2 does not apply," said Sambodo.

Previously, it was reported that the Polda Metro Jaya decided to stop the 100-point blocking scheme during the extension of the Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) level 4 to August 16.

But to control people's mobility, three new schemes will be implemented. One of them by applying the odd-even system.

This scheme will be implemented on Thursday, August 12. Then, this scheme will take effect from 06.00 WIB to 20.00 WIB.

This odd-even scheme will also be implemented on Jalan Sudirman, Jalan MH Thanrin, Jalan Merdeka Barat, Jalan Majapahit, Jalan Gajah Mada, Jalan Hayam Wuruk, Jalan Pintu Besar Selatan, and Jalan Gatot Subroto.
