JAKARTA - The odd-even scheme is still being applied during the extension period for PPKM level 3. Although, the fines have not been enforced.

"The odd-even system is still in effect," said the Director of Traffic of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Sambodo Purnomo Yogo when confirmed, Tuesday, August 31.

In the current odd-even scheme there is no change. This policy only applies to three roads, including Jalan Sudirman, Jalan MH Thamrin, and Jalan Rasuna Said.

Regarding the enforcement of fines for violations, Sambodo said it was still under discussion. However, the matter of action is likely to be decided today.

"We are still discussing with the staff," he said.

On the other hand, Sambodo said that the level of public awareness regarding odd-even is quite high. Because, the number of violations is decreasing every day.

"Every day fewer and fewer people use vehicle plates that don't match the date," said Sambodo.

For information, the government has resumed the implementation of Level 2-4 Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) on the islands of Java and Bali to suppress the spread of COVID-19. The policy was extended for 7 days, starting from 31 August to 6 September 2021.
