JAKARTA - The Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya will implement an odd-even (gage) scheme at two tourist attractions. This decision is the result of coordination with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov).

"The odd-even scheme is implemented at the gate I of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) and the west and east gates of Taman Impian Jaya Ancol," wrote the Instagram account @tmcpoldametro quoted by VOI, Friday, September 17.

The odd-even scheme at these two tourist attractions will come into effect as of today. So, in the future on every weekend only vehicles according to the date that can enter these tourist attractions.

"It will take effect from September 17," he wrote.

Even the odd-even application at the two tourist attractions refers to the Decree of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Number 1096 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Level 3 Corona Virus Disease 2019 Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM).

In addition, it also refers to the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 42 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Level 4, Level 3, and Level 2 Corona Virus Disease 2019 Restrictions in the Java and Bali Regions. Sambodo Purnomo Yogo said this odd-even scheme was only applied at the entrance of tourist attractions.

"The plan is like that, so odd-even places only apply at the entrance of tourist attractions," he said

That is, in the plan only vehicles that match the date allowed to enter tourist attractions. For example, odd number plates on odd dates.

One of the considerations in the plan is not wanting to cause traffic jams. Moreover, the roads around tourist attractions have been used by the general public.

"Socialization first, then if the license plate differs from the date, it is forbidden to enter tourist attractions and we will turn around," said Sambodo.

Meanwhile, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said that odd-even implementations would be carried out in tourist areas.

Later, the odd-even scheme applies every Friday at 12.00 WIB to Sunday 18.00 WIB.

Every visitor who enters tourist attractions must have been vaccinated, by showing a COVID-19 vaccine certificate using the PeduliLindung application.
