BOGOR - The Bogor Resort Police has prepared seven vehicle inspection points for the odd-even system trial on the Puncak Route, Cisarua, Bogor Regency, West Java, starting Friday, September 3.

"There are a total of seven check point locations, including two in Sentul," said Bogor Police Chief AKBP Harun in Cibinong, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, August 31.

He mentioned the seven checkpoints, namely the Ciawi Toll Gate, Simpang Gadog, Rainbow Hills, the Cibanon flow closure post, the Dam flow closure post, and two locations in the Sentul area.

In the odd-even trial, which is planned to be implemented twice that weekend, every private vehicle whose license plate does not match the even or odd number on that date will be reversed.

However, there are a number of types of vehicles that fall into the category of exceptions for implementing the odd-even system, namely firefighters, ambulances, medical personnel, TNI/Polri service vehicles, public transportation, online transportation, and logistics transportation.

Harun emphasized the odd-even option to minimize vehicle density in the southern region of Bogor Regency, as happened on August 28-29 2021 after the decline in Bogor Regency's status from level 4 to level 3 with the implementation of community activity restrictions (PPKM).

The reason is, over the weekend, there was an increase in the number of vehicles in the Puncak area by 40 percent or around 38,000 vehicles.

Meanwhile, Regent Ade Yasin in the same place explained that his party would create a legal umbrella for strengthening in the long term if the traffic engineering trials were effective in handling vehicle congestion.

"We try it first. We see the response of the community. If it leads to improvement, we will ask for a legal umbrella. The trial is also while socializing," he said.

In addition to having to comply with the odd-even rule, said Ade Yasin, drivers who want to go to the Puncak area are also required to show proof that they have been vaccinated.
