TEMPO.CO, Jakarta-The Jakarta administration will implement the odd-even license plate regulation as a replacement of the three-in-one policy in late August 2016.
"There will be a trial from July 20 to 27, 2016, and [the new policy will be implemented for a month," Jakarta administration agency head Andri said in a traffic-themed discussion in Jakarta on Friday, June 17, 2016.
The new policy will be implemented during the rush hour in Jalan Sudirman-Thamrin-Gatot Subroto and a part of Jalan HR Rasuna Said.
"The policy will be implemented in the morning from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., and in the afternoon from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. However, we're still discussing the schedule," Andri added.
He revealed that the odd-even license plate rule at streets where the three-in-one policy was enforced would apply to all types vehicles, including motorcycles. In addition, the regulation will apply to vehicles from outside Jakarta.
Andri expressed his optimism that the policy would ease traffic congestions and reduce travel time for drivers though there would be challenges in enforcing the new policy, including drivers who might want to outsmart the policy by changing their license plates.
"We want this to be one of the solutions following the cancelation of the three-in-one police," Andi said.
