Jakarta to Reinstate Car Free Day

“These include social distancing, wearing masks, and maintaining cleanliness.”

“Personnel from the Transportation Agency and the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) will be deployed to ensure that the public will observe health protocols. We will also install safety cones for the bicyclists’ safety.”

The Jakarta provincial government will also reinstate the three zones instituted for Car Free Day at the end of 2019. Divided into green, yellow and red zones, they entail increasing limitations on vendors, with the Hotel Indonesia roundabout and the surrounding areas being off limits.

Car Free Day was last held on March 15, before the Jakarta provincial administration curtailed the activity due to the coronavirus. (Writers: Nursita Sari,Ryana Aryadita Umasugi/ Editors: Nursita Sari,Egidius Patnistik)
