Car Free Day to Be Held in Rawamangun, Prepare Alternative Routes

KatadataOTO – For people who want to go to the East Jakarta area on Sunday (24/08), it is advisable to reschedule. This is because Car Free Day will be held in the area, specifically on Jalan Pemuda, Rawamangun.

This event will take place from Simpang Arion to Simpang Tugas, starting from 06:00 WIB to 10:00 WIB. Therefore, the flow of traffic will be diverted to several alternative roads.

Reported from @infocarfreeday_, a number of public service facilities will also be open during the event. Starting from the Mobile Samsat for paying vehicle taxes to the Mobile Passport service for making and replacing e-passports.

This aims to make it easier for the public to fulfill their obligations as citizens while exercising. However, it should be noted that applicants are required to complete the established requirements.

It is recommended that people who want to come to the location use public transportation such as TransJakarta. This way, the risk of getting stuck in congestion can be reduced compared to using a private vehicle.

If you still want to use a vehicle, it is recommended to park in the provided spaces. Avoid leaving cars or motorcycles on the roadside unattended as it carries a significant risk.

A number of officers will also be on duty to provide security at several vulnerable points and manage traffic. It is hoped that severe traffic jams can be avoided and will not hinder residents' activities.

Recently, Car Free Day locations have continued to be added at several strategic points. Thanks to this, it is easier for the capital's residents to reach them.

The additions are also expected to meet the public's need for comfortable sports locations in the capital city.

In addition, the concentration of crowds at the Car Free Day on Jalan Sudirman–Thamrin could potentially be dispersed. This will allow people to exercise more comfortably than before.

However, residents who usually travel on Sundays and pass through Car Free Day locations will have to adjust their travel schedules. It is even possible they will need to find alternative routes to reach their destinations on time.
