"The dissemination of this information will be conducted by its officials prior to the ASEAN Summit," said Head of the Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, when contacted in Jakarta on Wednesday, 30 August 2023.
This policy is to be adopted in synergy with the Greater Jakarta Transportation Management Agency (BPTJ), the West Java Transportation Agency, the Banten Transportation Agency, and the Indonesian Trucking Association (Aptrindo).
This action is a follow-up to the Decree of Head of BPTJ Number KP-BPTJ 221 of 2023 on Traffic Regulations During the 43rd ASEAN Summit in 2023 on Jakarta Toll Roads.
The operational restrictions for freight transport vehicles will apply to four toll roads of Cawang-Tomang-Pluit, Tomang-Pluit, Kembangan-Tomang, and Pluit-Kamal Muara.
The restrictions will be imposed from 5 September2023, at 00:00 AM until 7 September2023, at 11:49 PM.
In the Decree signed by Acting Head of BPTJ, Agung Rahardjo, on 28 August2023, it is stated that these operational restrictions do not apply to freight transport vehicles carrying fuel or gas, livestock, postal and cash-in-transit deliveries, as well as staple foods.
"Including rice, flour, corn, sugar, vegetables and fruits, meat, fish, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, salt, soybeans, shallots, chili, broiler meat, bottled drinking water, and animal feed," said Syafrin.

Violations of the instructions and prohibitions indicated by traffic signs, road markings, and traffic signal devices will be subject to penalties under Law Number 22 of 2009 on Traffic and Road Transportation.
Furthermore, to ensure the success organisation of the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta, the Jakarta Transportation Office has also prepared traffic engineering management.
