Jakarta Odd-Even Policy January 14, 2025, Under Strict Enforcement

KatadataOTO – The government is once again implementing the Jakarta odd-even traffic restriction to reduce the traffic congestion that often occurs in the Capital City. The regulation aims to reduce the vehicle population, especially four-wheeled vehicles, so that traffic flow is smoother.

For the restriction to run more optimally, strict supervision will be carried out by officers in the field. Thus, it is hoped that no violations will be missed.

Today, Tuesday (14/01), it is the turn for cars with odd-numbered plates to pass freely on dozens of main roads. Meanwhile, vehicles with even-numbered plates must wait until the restriction is over.

Several public transportation facilities have also been prepared to ensure public mobility is maintained. Starting from TransJakarta, LRT, MRT to KRL with affordable fares so that mobility is maintained.

It should be noted that the government only implements the Jakarta odd-even policy in the morning and afternoon. Thus, people can still use cars with even-numbered plates for activities at certain times.

Jakarta Odd-Even Schedule

• Morning : 06.00 AM to 10.00 AM (WIB)
• Afternoon : 04.00 PM to 09.00 PM (WIB)

Not only that, the government will also provide several alternative routes that can be used by cars with non-compliant plates. However, the routes are detours, making the travel time longer.

In addition, several vehicles are also given leeway and are not affected by the Jakarta odd-even policy. One of them is the electric car, whose development is currently being encouraged by the central government.

List of Vehicles Exempt from Jakarta's Odd-Even Policy

• Electric cars
• TNI-Polri (Military/Police) vehicles
• Ambulances
• Fire trucks
• Healthcare worker vehicles, including doctors
• Public transport and taxis

Besides deploying officers, the police also utilize technology to monitor traffic. From Static to Mobile ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement) will be deployed during the traffic engineering.

All violations will be subject to a fine of IDR 500,000. This rule is in accordance with article 287 of Law Number 12 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation (LLAJ).

To make the Jakarta odd-even policy more effective, the police are implementing a contraflow system on the inner-city toll road, effective from km 0+200 (Cawang) to km 7+200 (Semanggi) from 06.00 AM to 10.00 AM (WIB).

The DKI Jakarta government is also carrying out traffic engineering in several locations to support MRT construction. Therefore, the public is expected to adjust their travel schedules.
