Indonesia Says Patuh 2026 Traffic Operation Is Not About Ticket Totals
Indonesia’s National Police traffic corps says Operasi Patuh 2026 is not a drive to maximize tickets.
The operation runs nationwide from October 26 to November 8.
Its stated goals are to build respect for traffic rules and improve public safety.
Police say success should be judged by greater public awareness and better traffic services, not just by the number of violations penalized.
The corps expects officers to provide safety education, enforce rules professionally, improve registration services and respond quickly to crashes.
Officers are to use a humane, educational approach while still enforcing rules against violations that could endanger road users.
The operation is intended to encourage safer and more disciplined behavior on the roads.
