Car-free day on Rasuna Said to be held routinely starting June 7, 2026

Jakarta residents will soon have a regular opportunity to enjoy a car-free environment on Jalan HR Rasuna Said, as the provincial government announced the resumption of car-free day (CFD) events. Starting Sunday, June 7, 2026, the major thoroughfare will be closed to vehicles every Sunday morning from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM.

Chico Hakim, Special Staff to the Governor of DKI Jakarta, confirmed the decision, stating that it comes after a series of evaluations of earlier CFD implementations in the Kuningan area. The government has decided to make the event routine to provide a public space that benefits the environment and community.

Hakim explained that the chosen hours are shorter than those for the Sudirman-Thamrin CFD, considering the typical morning activity and office presence in the Rasuna Said area, which tends to pick up around 10:00 AM. Evaluations focused on road infrastructure readiness post-revitalization, traffic management, and access points. Improvements to public facilities are also part of the plan.

While overall evaluations were positive, citing benefits for public space and the environment, some technical issues required follow-up, leading to temporary cancellations. The provincial government is coordinating with the police, public order agency, and area management to ensure the smooth operation of the CFD, aiming to provide a comfortable open space for Jakarta's residents.
