T
he Jakarta Police’s traffic division has blocked 800 vehicle registration certificates (STNK) owing to overdue electronic traffic law enforcement tickets.
“We have blocked 800 STNK,” traffic division director Sr. Comr. Yusuf said as quoted by kompas.com on Friday.
Yusuf said vehicle owners, both cars and motorbikes, had to pay the tickets if they wanted to extend the certificate’s validity.
The electronic traffic system had been enforced on Jl. MH Thamrin and Jl. Sudirman in Central Jakarta.
The police are coordinating with the Jakarta administration to install more cameras so that the enforcement scope could widen.
The system had been applied since November. So far, the system only applies to vehicles with a B-series license plate, which indicates that the vehicle is registered in Jakarta.
Yusuf said the next plan was to apply the ticketing enforcement on vehicles with other license plate series.
He said vehicles with different license plates only comprised 10 percent of vehicles in Jakarta. Considering the fact, he said it would not be a complicated development for the system. (gis)
