Hundreds of motorcycle riders heading towards Jakarta were asked to turn back towards Tangerang before passing through the Kalideres emergency PPKM blocking post, West Jakarta, Monday (5/7/2021). Although the government has announced an emergency PPKM since last weekend, the mobility and activities of residents outside the home, including for work, are still very high.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The mobility of residents outside essential and critical sectors is out of control. As a result, traffic jams packed curbstone spots on toll roads, city/provincial borders and main routes on the third day of the imposition of emergency public activity restrictions or PPKM darurat, on Monday (5/7/2021).

Long lines of vehicles thronged the PPKM darurat curb checkpoint in Kalideres, West Jakarta. Police mobile brigade tactical vans and military armored cars were sent to the location crowded with queuing motorcycles. The same took place on Jalan Raya Jakarta-Bogor. Vehicles were cramming as they had to turn around or find alternative roads.
