Jakarta Odd-Even Policy January 6, 2025, Dozens of Roads Strictly Monitored

KatadataOTO – Activity in the Capital City is believed to have fully returned to normal today after the long Christmas and New Year 2025 holiday. Therefore, the government is tightening traffic engineering, including Jakarta's odd-even policy.

This rule is considered sufficient to reduce the traffic congestion that often occurs, especially during rush hours. Therefore, the public is expected to adjust so that their mobility is not disrupted.

Today, Monday (06/01), it is the turn for even-plated cars to pass freely on dozens of protocol roads. Meanwhile, odd-numbered vehicles must wait until the restriction is over.

Various public transportation options are available to facilitate residents' mobility, ranging from TransJakarta, LRT, MRT to KRL with affordable fares.

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 even-plated cars 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, some vehicles are also given leeway and are not affected by Jakarta's 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

In addition to deploying officers, the police also utilize technology to monitor traffic. From Static to Mobile ETLE 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 Jakarta's odd-even policy more effective, the police are implementing a contraflow 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 implementing traffic engineering in several locations to support MRT construction. Therefore, the public is expected to adjust their travel schedules.
