Dozens of Vehicles Caught in Lintas Jaya Enforcement Operation on Mayjen Sutoyo Road, East Jakarta
Jakarta (ANTARA) — Dozens of vehicles were caught in a Lintas Jaya enforcement operation conducted by the East Jakarta Transportation Sub-agency (Sudinhub) on Mayjen Sutoyo Road, in the direction of Cililitan near Universitas Kristen Indonesia (UKI), East Jakarta, on Tuesday morning.
“A total of 19 vehicles were penalised for various violations during the Lintas Jaya operation we carried out today on Sutoyo Road, UKI,” said Emiral August Dwinanto, Head of Operations at the East Jakarta Transportation Sub-agency, at the enforcement site on Tuesday.
The 19 vehicles were penalised for a range of violations, from being unroadworthy to failing to carry proof of vehicle inspection or motor vehicle testing certificates (KIR).
Emiral explained that the operation was part of routine vehicle monitoring activities in the East Jakarta area.
“Today, we conducted enforcement and document inspections as part of the Lintas Jaya programme. Several vehicles had their operations halted because they were unroadworthy and did not carry KIR certificates. Additionally, some were issued traffic citations,” Emiral said.
Based on the inspection results, nine vehicles were found to be non-compliant with technical and administrative requirements and were immediately taken out of service.
The vehicles were then seized and transported to Pulogebang Terminal for documentation and temporary impoundment until their owners fulfilled the required conditions.
“Nine vehicles had their operations halted and were impounded at Pulogebang Terminal,” Emiral said.
According to Emiral, the violations were predominantly vehicles without valid KIR inspection certificates and vehicles with technical conditions rendering them unroadworthy. Such conditions were deemed potentially dangerous for both drivers and other road users.
He further emphasised that the Lintas Jaya operation was not an ad hoc activity but rather a routine programme carried out daily at various locations across East Jakarta. The enforcement locations are rotated to narrow the scope for road traffic violations.
“We carry out Lintas Jaya operations every day, and the locations rotate. The aim is to reduce violations by unroadworthy vehicles and improve driver discipline,” Emiral said.
He also urged vehicle owners and drivers, particularly those operating goods and passenger transport, to ensure their administrative documents and vehicle conditions are in order before operating.
Routine inspections and compliance with regulations, he said, are key to creating safe and orderly traffic conditions in the East Jakarta area.
