Grab your helmets kids and make sure you’ve got your STNK (motor vehicle registration) and driver’s license with you when hitting the road.
Over one thousand Bali Police personnel will be deployed during a three-week island-wide operation focusing on traffic rule-following.
Starting on March 1 and lasting until March 21, police will take no BS on the roads during Operasi Simpatik Agung Menyasar.
“We are deploying a 1,048 man task force that includes police. There is also a task force for operations assistance, as I mentioned earlier, including agencies such as DLLAJR (public land transportation agency), POM TNI (military police),” Bali Police Chief Insp. Sugeng Priyanto told Tribun Bali on Tuesday.
Priyanto says the operation’s goal is to maintain security, public order, and increase public awareness and compliance with traffic regulations.
The operation will be held simultaneously across all Bali jurisdictions, Priyanto explained.
Dense traffic areas like Denpasar’s Jl. Teuku Umar and popular tourist spots like Legian and Kuta Beach will be targeted, he added.
