DKI to make car free day routine in 5 Jakarta areas, add 3 roads
New: beyond Sudirman-Thamrin and Rasuna Said, car free day will also be held on Pemuda, Puri Kembangan and Danau Sunter.
The DKI Jakarta provincial government will make car free day a regular event in five Jakarta areas to encourage residents to move more and use roads as public space. DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said CFD will no longer be limited to Sudirman-Thamrin and Jalan Rasuna Said, but will be expanded to three other locations. DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency head Budi Awaluddin listed the three additional roads as Jalan Pemuda in East Jakarta, Jalan Puri Kembangan in West Jakarta, and Jalan Danau Sunter in North Jakarta. According to Pramono, the regular schedule is intended to promote a healthy lifestyle while giving residents space to exercise and interact.
