For information, Deputy Director of Traffic at Polda Metro Jaya AKBP Wahyono explained, that the even-odd system technique is a vehicle restriction concept that refers to the last two numbers of the vehicle’s license plate.
That way, later every passing vehicle will take turns according to the day the last two digits of the number plate are applied.
“For example, Monday is for the even digits, then Tuesday is for the odd digits, and so on. The determination of even and odd numbers is determined from the two numbers at the back of the license plate. For example, my car plate is B 3412 VII, which means it is even. Or for example B 2533 SFA, now that’s it. means odd because the two numbers behind it are 33,” explained Wahyono
The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government with the Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya implement this odd-even rule as a breakthrough to break down the density of vehicle volumes on the Jakarta Capital Road.
