A

special feature in a navigation app, Waze, which identifies road lanes where the odd-even license plate policy is implemented, was launched on Wednesday following an agreement between the company and the Jakarta administration to boost drivers’ awareness about the policy.

To activate the feature, drivers just need to go to “license plate restriction” on the app and enter the last two digits of their license number, a Jakarta Transportation Agency official, Fajar Nugrahaeni, has said.

“Waze will automatically reroute and give directions to the drivers by considering the even-odd policy,” Fajar said on Thursday as quoted by beritajakarta.id.

The Jakarta administration introduced the even-odd license plate traffic policy on three major thoroughfares in Jakarta: Jl. MH Thamrin, Jl. Sudirman and Jl. Gatot Subroto last year.

The administration said the policy would be temporarily implemented while it was preparing an electronic road-pricing (ERP) system for long-term traffic management on the thoroughfares.

Waze also provides information about off-street parking and on roads affected by construction projects.
