JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has canceled the Car Free Day (CFD) on Sunday, July 10.

CFD was canceled because it coincided with the celebration of Eid al-Adha 1443 Hijriah. This was revealed in the Instagram account belonging to the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency.

"It is appealed to the citizens of Jakarta, in conjunction with Eid al-Adha 2022/1443 H, the Motor Vehicle Free Day Sunday, July 10, 2022," wrote the statement on the Dishubdkijakarta account, quoted on Tuesday, July 5.

As is known, Jakarta has started to carry out CFDs again since May 22, 2022. CFDs were stopped during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.

In its implementation, Car Free Day will start from 06.00 to 10.00 WIB. Then, there are six points of application of the policy.

Starting from, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman-Jalan MH. Thamrin, Jalan Sisingamangaraja (Building Youth Statue up to CSW), South Jakarta.

Then, Jalan Tomang Raya (starting from Simpang Tomang to Business Hotel Tomang), West Jakarta. There is also on Jalan Danau Sunter Selatan (Simpang Karya Beton to GOR Sunter).

Furthermore, Suryo Pranoto Street (Harmony Intersection to Tarakan Hospital Intersection), Central Jakarta, and Pemuda Street (Arion Intersection to TU-GAS Intersection), East Jakarta.

Then, on June 5, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan allowed street vendors (PKL) to sell in the CFD area.

"Now it is regulated, selling is allowed, but only on sidewalks, and those on the highway only for sports and cycling," said Anies in the HI Roundabout area, Central Jakarta, Sunday, June 5.

Previously, Anies had banned street vendors from selling inside or on the sidewalks of the CFD area. Actually, said Anies, traders are indeed allowed to sell. However, these traders cause traffic jams on the highway.

"Previously, those who traded could trade on the road so it was jammed because they were selling on the highway. And those on the road were only for those who exercised and cycled," he said.
