Restricted area needs reviewing

JAKARTA (JP): The City Land Transportation and Traffic Control
Agency (DLLAJ) submitted on Tuesday a proposal to the city
administration that recommended the revocation of the capital's
restricted traffic zone called three-in-one, especially on
Saturdays and other holidays.

The draft, signed by DLLAJ head Buyung Atang, was submitted to
the head of the city administration's legal bureau while copies
were also sent to Governor Sutyoso and the directorate general
for land and transportation of the Ministry of Transportation and
Telecommunication, Antara reported.

The traffic regulation was issued in Gubernatorial Decree No.
864/1994 on traffic-restricted areas, which only allows cars with
at least three passengers to travel on certain main roads in
Jakarta as an alternative means to solve traffic congestion.

DLLAJ expected the governor to approve the new proposal
through another gubernatorial decree on the grounds that it would
improve services for road users. The proposal was made in
connection with a Nov. 3, 1999 meeting at DLLAJ office on the
evaluation of traffic-controlled areas .(01)
