Some people who have become accustomed to the odd-even traffic policy bemoan its expansion, saying that it is getting harder to find alternative routes or means of transportation.
Critics argue that exempting motorcycles from the odd-even traffic policy is counterproductive to achieving the policy's goal of reducing traffic and air pollution.
A team from the North Jakarta Transportation Agency will also be deployed to inform the public about the expansion.
Without some form of restricting motorists, people would always opt for private vehicles. Government data also says emissions from motor vehicles contribute 70 to 75 percent of air pollution.
A trial of the expanded odd-even policy will begin on Aug. 12 and come into full effect on Sept 9.
Among the measures was the expansion of the odd-even license plate traffic policy that would officially start on Sept. 1 following a trial this month.
“The city administration will evaluate the BPTJ’s proposal in many aspects, such as economic and social aspects,” he added.
The Greater Jakarta Transportation Agency (BPTJ) is pushing the Jakarta administration to apply the odd-even traffic policy from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily to ease congestion in the capital.
The Jakarta Police are to start using an electronic ticketing system to enforce the odd-even policy on Jl. MH Thamrin and Jl. Sudirman on May 1 or 5.
Traffic policy to be reviewed every three months, the governor said.
