The Jakarta Provincial Government through Transportation Agency has announced that the odd-even traffic policy will be temporarily suspended on 25 roads in Jakarta during the Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijri holiday period, from March 28 to April 7, 2025.
"People can plan their homecoming trips or other activities more freely,"
This decision was made based on the Joint Decree of Three Ministers regarding National Holidays and Collective Leave in 2025, as well as the Jakarta Governor Regulation No. 88/2019, which states that traffic restrictions do not apply on national holidays.
Jakarta Transportation Agency Head, Syafrin Liputo, stated that the policy aims to support public mobility during the Eid holiday period.
