Throughout 2022, 30,741 Vehicles in East Jakarta Netted

"This ceremony is a routine agenda. So far, the traffic has returned to normal, that's why efforts are needed to maintain order, safety, and security," he said, after leading the ceremony at Plaza Selatan Monas, Wednesday (2/15).

He mentioned that the operation this time would target vehicles that were parked illegally and were in an unworthy condition, but would still be operating.

Based on the data in 2020, as many as 38,432 vehicles were netted, followed by 47,663 were netted in 2021, and 103,966 were netted in 2022.

"I really appreciate the Lintas Jaya Operations Team for taking action against violations in the last three years," he uttered.

Thereby, he urged the officers in the field to act humanely and educatively in a bid to raise resident awareness to always comply with safety and traffic safety requirements on the road.

Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) Head, Syafrin Liputo explained joint officers would be deployed to 40 main road corridors. Along with that, the Dynamic Operation would also be intensified, which is adjusted based on reports from the public.

"Usually, illegal parking and traffic violations happen according to the vehicle's roadworthiness," he explained.

Related to illegal parking, his party would take firm action, both on neighborhood roads and main roads.

"That's why we want the motorists to park in the available parking lot," he continued.

Polda Metro Jaya Traffic Director, Com. Pol. Latif Usman added that he will continue to support for the sake of a safe and smooth situation in Jakarta.

"Talking about illegal parking, we have CCTV cameras used in electronic traffic law enforcement (ETLE). We can directly coordinate with Dishub, including fines for violating motorists," he stated.
