Jakarta Odd-Even Policy January 15, 2025, Strictly Supervised by Police

KatadataOTO – The DKI Jakarta government is collaborating with the Metro Jaya Regional Police to supervise the Jakarta odd-even restriction, which has been a mainstay in tackling traffic congestion. This collaboration aims to make the public think twice before committing a violation.

This is because the Jakarta odd-even policy is implemented on dozens of roads, creating potential for violations at several points. As a result, the traffic engineering will not run optimally.

Today, Wednesday (15/01), 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 period is over.

To improve mobility, the government has also provided several public transportation facilities. These range from TransJakarta, LRT, MRT to KRL with affordable fares, ensuring that mobility is maintained.

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

Jakarta Odd-Even Schedule

• Morning: 06:00 WIB to 10:00 WIB
• Afternoon: 16:00 WIB to 21:00 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 electric cars, whose development is currently being encouraged by the central government. 

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

• Electric cars
• TNI-Polri vehicles
• Ambulances
• Fire trucks
• Vehicles for health workers, 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 as long as the traffic engineering is in effect.

All violations will be subject to a fine of Rp 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 to 10:00 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.
