T
he Jakarta Police’s traffic unit has started on Monday a trial run of its Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (E-TLE) system in Central Jakarta, from Jl. Sudirman through Jl. MH Thamrin.
The one-month trial run is intended to familiarize motorists with the new electronic ticketing system.
Four 24-hour traffic cameras have been installed at the Sarinah, Arjuna Wiwaha statue and Kebon Sirih junctions to capture the license plates of vehicles that violate traffic regulations.
The cameras, which are connected to the Jakarta Police's Traffic Management Center (TMC), are to capture violators of the odd-even traffic policy, traffic lights, road signs and speed limits, as well as motorcyclists without a helmet.
Once the license plates are captured, the TMC is set up to automatically identify the vehicle's owner. The police will then refer to the visual evidence and deliver the ticket to the violator’s residence.
Sr. Adj, Comr. Budiyanto, the head of traffic law enforcement head at the Jakarta Police, said that the tickets would not be delivered to violators at home during the trial period.
He added that the police would use the trial period to monitor the accuracy of the captured images and evaluate the traffic violations that occurred.
Also on Monday, the police have started enforcing the requirement for motorists to provide their email addresses and mobile phone numbers on their vehicle ownership documents (BPKB), requesting the information when motorists transfer vehicle ownership or pay vehicle taxes. (cal)
