Tribratanews.polri.go.id - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the Indonesian National Police (Polri) has begun to apply the electronic traffic law enforcement (ETLE) system with Weigh In Motion (WIM). This policy is an effort to control the over-dimension overloading (ODOL) trucks and speed limit violations on toll roads.
Directorate of Law Enforcement (Dirgakkum) of Korlantas Polri, Brigadier General Aan Suhanan said his party collaborated with Jasa Marga to carry out the IT-based law enforcement for WIM and over speed violations.
“We saw that the ODOL law enforcement received an extraordinary reaction from the public, such as demonstrations and even toll road blockade. So, one of the solutions that we offer together with Jasa Marga is IT-based law enforcement, targeting ODOL and speed violators,” explained Dirgakkum, Friday (25/3/22).
Brigadier General Aan Suhanan also conveyed that all vehicles that were later detected as violating the speed limit, and trucks caught carrying excess goods or overloading on toll roads would be immediately monitored by the ETLE system.
For speed violators who exceed the limit, the police will install a speed camera that can capture a complete picture of the vehicle along with the plate number. Likewise, for ODOL trucks, when they pass through the WIM sensor, they will be immediately detected and the proof of violation will be immediately received by ETLE Korlantas Polri.
When the violators have been verified, the police will immediately send evidence of traffic violations on toll roads to the violator’s home.
“This IT-based law enforcement is to avoid the interaction of officers and violators and to avoid conflicts between violators and officers. With the use of WIM, all vehicles caught violating overloading will definitely be processed. So far, we have integrated 7 WIM points and five speed cameras from East Java to Jakarta. So if the car has been running at more than 120 kilometers per hour (kph), it will definitely be captured, and after being verified they will receive a ‘love letter’ from us in their front door, “explained Dirgakkum.
