Jakarta Governor Vows Strict Enforcement on Illegal Parking, Including Luxury Cars

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has asserted that the crackdown on illegal parking will persist throughout the capital, emphasizing that no vehicle, not even luxury cars, will be exempt from enforcement. This firm stance comes in response to complaints from some car owners after luxury vehicles were ticketed for violating parking regulations in the upscale Senopati area.

“

When luxury cars were ticketed in Senopati, they complained that the DKI Jakarta provincial government had not notified them.

Anung addressed concerns that luxury cars had previously been untouched by such enforcement. He noted that some owners felt the DKI Jakarta provincial government had not provided adequate notification before the crackdown. Senopati, known as a hub for Jakarta's elite with numerous clubs and high-end restaurants, often faces parking challenges due to insufficient dedicated parking spaces, leading to vehicles spilling onto the streets.

“

There will definitely be those who are satisfied and those who are not. Especially those who are ticketed will not be satisfied.

The governor stressed that the illegal parking enforcement is not a temporary campaign but a routine measure by the Jakarta provincial government. He acknowledged that such actions inevitably generate mixed reactions, with those being penalized typically being the most vocal in their dissatisfaction. Anung reiterated that the rules apply equally to all vehicles, and the enforcement will continue across various Jakarta districts.

All vehicles that violate the rules will be dealt with, regardless of the type or price of the vehicle.
