Police evaluate Antasari elevated road operations to anticipate traffic violations

The Jakarta Metropolitan Police Traffic Directorate has stated that it is currently conducting an evaluation of the operations of the Antasari Non-Toll Flyover (JLNT) in South Jakarta, aiming to anticipate potential traffic violations as well as disturbances to public security and order.

“An evaluation is required first, which will certainly be adjusted to the needs and the flow of road users in the area,” said the Director of Traffic for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Kombes Pol Komarudin, in a statement in Jakarta on Monday.

This clarification was made in response to questions regarding the possibility of implementing periodic nightly closures on the Antasari JLNT, similar to the policy applied to the Casablanca JLNT to prevent illegal street racing and fatal accidents.

Komarudin explained that, as of now, there is no policy for routine nightly closures on the Antasari JLNT. Nevertheless, all dynamics on the ground are being monitored periodically.

He also urged the public to be proactive in maintaining public order on the highways. If any illegal activities or actions endangering other road users are identified, the public is requested to report them immediately through official police channels.

“If you encounter such matters, the public can use the 110 call centre service to report so that it can be promptly addressed,” said Komarudin.

The police ensured that every complaint received through the emergency service will be directly responded to by personnel in the field to guarantee the safety and comfort of the capital’s residents.
