West Java Police Postpone Vehicle Inspection Raids for Two Weeks

The West Java Regional Police have announced a postponement of the ‘Lodaya Patuh’ operation, which was scheduled to take place for two weeks from 8 to 21 June. The delay was implemented after considering the current situation within the West Java region.

The news was shared by the West Java Regional Police Traffic Directorate (Ditlantas) via the rtmcpoldajabar Instagram account. The postponement of the operation remains in effect until a time yet to be determined.

“This postponement is effective until a deadline to be determined later,” quoted rtmcpoldajabar on Monday (8/6/2026). Despite the delay, the West Java Police have requested that the public remain orderly in traffic and always carry their vehicle documents.

Previously, the Director of Traffic for the West Java Regional Police, Kombes Pol Raydian Kokrosono, stated that the 14-day ‘Lodaya Patuh’ operation would prioritise persuasive and humanistic approaches. Enforcement against violators would consist of 60 per cent ETLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement), 30 per cent non-ETLE or manual tickets, and 10 per cent warnings.

“The objective of the Lodaya Patuh operation is to reduce accident rates, traffic violations, and prevent fatalities,” he said on Sunday (7/6/2026).

He noted that ETLE enforcement targets motorists who do not use seatbelts, use mobile phones, or violate road markings and traffic signs. Other targets include running red lights, speeding, driving against the flow of traffic, and not wearing helmets.

Additionally, enforcement covers riding with more passengers than permitted, using non-compliant number plates, improper parking, and encroaching into fast lanes. Meanwhile, non-ETLE enforcement targets driving against the flow, vehicles with incorrect registration numbers, non-compliant specifications, and illegal exhaust systems.

“Enforcement aims to provide a deterrent effect, uphold discipline, and enforce the law on the roads, thereby reducing traffic violations,” he said.

He mentioned that his department is optimising law enforcement during the ‘Lodaya Patuh’ operation through the use of ETLE. The presence of this system makes law enforcement more transparent, accountable, and objective.

“It minimises direct contact between officers and the public,” he added.
