After a successful trial run and almost one month into the official enforcement of the E-TLE (Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement) system in Jakarta, the traffic police have announced they are putting even more cameras on the capital’s roads to catch delinquent drivers.
Starting Jan. 1, 2019, 25 major intersections in Jakarta will be under the surveillance of 81 traffic cameras — a huge expansion from E-TLE’s current coverage of two locations in Central Jakarta: the Sarinah intersection and along Jalan MH Thamrin.
As listed in a press release on the National Traffic Police’s official website, the 25 intersections are as follows:
- Kota
- Olimo
- Ketapang or Gajah Mada Plaza
- Harmoni
- Istana Negara (Presidential Palace)
- Patung Kuda Roundabout
- Kebon Sirih
- Sarinah
- Hotel Indonesia Roundabout
- Senayan Roundabout
- Al Azhar
- CSW
- Monalisa
- Pancoran on Jalan Gatot Subroto
- Kuningan on Jalan Gatot Subroto
- Slipi on Jalan Gatot Subroto
- Tomang on Jalan S Parman
- Grogol on Jalan S Parman
- Asia Afrika
- Halim Baru
- Halim Lama
- Rawamangun
- Pramuka
- Rawasari
- Cempaka Putih
The announcement also noted that, while only vehicles bearing Jakarta license plates can be subject to fines under the current system, starting next year all violators will be fined regardless of where their vehicle is registered.
The traffic cameras are connected to a monitoring hub in Jakarta Metro Police HQ. If the police decide there has been a violation, they will send a traffic ticket to the motorist’s address by mail and/or email.
The motorist will then have one week to pay their fine via a partner bank. Failure to do so would result in their vehicle registration being frozen, meaning the motorist couldn’t pay their annual vehicle tax until they paid their fine.
