According to Director of Traffic for West Java Police, Kombes Pol Raydian Kokrosono, the operation will emphasize persuasive and humanistic methods. Enforcement will be divided between Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE), accounting for 60% of actions, and manual ticketing (non-ETLE) at 30%, with the remaining 10% reserved for warnings.
