Jakarta to reimpose odd-even vehicle plate policy as traffic returns

JAKARTA - The Jakarta administration will reimpose the odd-even licence plate policy for vehicles on Monday in an effort to limit unnecessary car travel as the Covid-19 pandemic wears on.

"We hope the policy will deter people from making unnecessary trips. For example, cars with odd-numbered license plates would stay at home," he said on Friday , as reported by kompas.com. Under the policy, vehicles with licence plates ending with odd numbers will only be allowed to travel on odd-numbered dates in 25 major streets in Jakarta, during peak hours.The peak hours are between 6am to 10 am, and 4 pm to 9 pm on weekdays.Mr Syafrin said the administration decided to reimpose the policy as traffic has been increasing as the city began its transition out of large-scale social restrictions to curb the pandemic.
