TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Metro Police announced that it will gradually revoke the conventional field ticketing system but asserted that it must be in parallel with additional installations of e-TLE (electronic traffic law enforcement) cameras to enforce the electronic ticketing.
“Field traffic ticketing will be scraped gradually. But the number of e-TLE cameras in the field must be ideal by installing more of them. Cities in other countries have done that,” said Metro Jaya traffic police commissioner Grand Commissioner Sambodo at the Metro Jaya Police headquarters on Friday, January 21.
As of this year, Sambodo said they plan to add 50 e-TLE cameras but are still in the process of approval by the Jakarta Administration. There are currently only 53 traffic cameras spread across Jakarta’s protocol streets.
This comes in line with the plans conveyed by the future-National Police Chief General Commissioner Listyo Sigit during a fit and proper test at the House of Representatives (DPR) hearing last Wednesday. He said that he will put forth an electronic-based ticketing system to reduce the physical encounters of police officers with violators.
