Jakarta prepares traffic rerouting for first Rasuna Said Car Free Day

Jakarta's Department of Transportation (Dishub DKI) is preparing traffic engineering and public transport services for the inaugural Car Free Day (CFD) event on Jalan Rasuna Said. The initiative, scheduled for Sunday, June 7, 2026, aims to encourage non-motorized activities and promote public health in the bustling Kuningan area. Thousands of residents are expected to participate in various activities, including walking, running, cycling, and exercising, during the first-ever CFD on Rasuna Said. The event also coincides with the launch of the "Jaga Jakarta Bersih, Pilah Sampah" (Maintain a Clean Jakarta, Sort Waste) movement, underscoring a commitment to environmental cleanliness alongside public well-being. To ensure smooth mobility for attendees and minimize disruption, Dishub DKI has devised ten alternative traffic routes. These routes are designed to redirect vehicles away from the closed-off sections of Rasuna Said, providing clear pathways for both participants and those needing to navigate the surrounding areas. The agency emphasized its commitment to facilitating the public's movement during this special event. Specific alternative routes include diversions for traffic coming from Manggarai towards Tanah Abang/Karet, Menteng towards Kuningan, Gatot Subroto towards Menteng, and from Tanah Abang/Karet towards Kampung Melayu, among others. These detailed rerouting plans aim to provide clarity and guidance for drivers, ensuring that the CFD can proceed safely and efficiently while maintaining essential city functions.
