Traffic unit police stop vehicles violating the expanded odd-even traffic policy on Wednesday (1/8/2018) along Jl. Letjen S. Parman in Slipi, Jakarta. Strict measures against violators began on Wednesday, after the Jakarta governor signed Gubernatorial Regulation No. 77/2018 on traffic restrictions under the policy during the 2018 Asian Games.
