No three-in-one rule this week: Police

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 08/29/2011 12:07 PM

Jakarta Police traffic division has announced that there will be no three-in-one policy for major thoroughfares in the capital this week, with fewer vehicles expected on the roads over the Idul Fitri holiday period.

“The three-in-one policy is intended to restrict the number of cars [on main roads] so we can avoid traffic congestion during peak hours.

Because we expect to see less cars on [Jakarta's] main roads this week, we are waiving this policy for this week only,” Jakarta Police traffic division member Comr. Purwono Pujianto said Monday as quoted by the division's website, www.tmcmetro.com.

Purwono added that the traffic rules would return to normal next Monday.

The three-in-one policy allows only cars with minimum three passengers to use the city’s main thoroughfares during peak hours (from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 4.30 p.m to 7 p.m.).
