Car Free Day is A New Lifestyle to be "Green, Health and Eco-friendly" Jakarta Citizen
Starting at 2002, Car Free Day (CFD) policy has been implemented for more than 10 years in some road sections in Jakarta. At 2002, however, the city government has closed the route to cars between 6 and 11 a.m. on the last Sunday of every month in a bid to reduce air pollution while at the same time providing space for people to enjoy morning fresh air around the business district.
In 2007, the government made Car-Free Day more frequent, from monthly to biweekly, and in May, to weekly. Pedestrians are invited to pursue their activities along the cleared road, from sports and campaigning for good causes to random fun activities. In the past few years the progressive traffic policy in the heart of the city has been replicated in four other municipalities.
