For those who habitually ignore traffic signals in the absence of police officers, you must immediately cease. such bad habits or someone may come knocking at the front door of your house, bringing you an invitation to a court hearing and requiring you to pay a fine for your violation.
The new ticketing system will be possible after the Jakarta Police install monitoring cameras at intersections across the city. The police have installed cameras at the Sarinah intersection on Jl. Thamrin, Central Jakarta, and plan soon to install many more cameras in 50 other intersections.
The new system, the Electronic-Traffic Law Enforcement (E-TLE), which is scheduled to be fully-enforced in May, seems to be an effective way to force motorists will always feel monitored by the hidden cameras.
The police have confirmed the effectiveness of this system based on results of a trial period since early this month in which traffic violators were informed that they were being monitored. "The number of violations at Sarinah declined from about 500 to only 23 a day," said the head of Jakarta Traffic Police's law enforcement, Sr. Comr. Yakub Dedy Karyawan, early this week.
When the systems is fully operational, according to the police, the violators could be fined up to Rp. 1.5 million (US$174) : Rp 500.000 for violating a traffic signal, Rp. 500.000 for crossing a white line and Rp. 500.000 for entering a yellow box.
The introduction of the electronic traffic ticketing system is a good step to encouraging motorists to respect the laws, because undisciplined motorists who often ignore traffic signs worsen traffic congestion.
