Jakartans will be able to travel freely on several of the city's main streets from Dec. 20-25, with police deciding not to apply three-in-one traffic regulations during this time.
The decision was made due to the fact most offices would be closed, with many workers in the city on collective leave. As such, traffic congestion is expected to be minimal between these dates, First. Brig. Andi from the Traffic Management Center said Friday.
The temporary changes will be effective on Jl. Sudirman, Jl. MH Thamrin and Jl. Gatot Subroto.
However, while Jakartans will be able to enjoy fewer traffic jams during the holiday, they will still have to deal with faulty traffic lights.
Andi said areas with faulty traffic lights included the Senayan Roundabout, Jl. Petukangan, Jl. Petogongan, Jl. Radio Dalam and Jl. Pakubuwono in South Jakarta.
In Central Jakarta, damaged traffic lights are located on Jl. Veteran III and in Kramat Bunder and the Simpang Lima Senen area.
Faulty traffic lights are also located at the Kamal exit toll gate in West Jakarta and in Kemayoran, Ancol Baru and Bintang Mas in North Jakarta.
"We have already reported the damage to the transportation agency, but we are still waiting for their response," Andi said. (dia)
