Jakarta, ThedailyID — Jakarta police will implement situational traffic arrangements around the House of Representatives (DPR/MPR) building on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The measures will respond to planned demonstrations by several community groups coinciding with Indonesia’s National Heroes Day.
The Traffic Directorate of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police (Polda Metro Jaya) expects congestion around the protest area. Therefore, officers will adjust traffic flows depending on conditions.
“Due to the planned public demonstration around the DPR/MPR RI building on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, congestion and situational traffic diversions are expected,” the police traffic management center said in an official social media post.
Meanwhile, authorities have prepared several parking areas across the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) complex. Police also advise motorists to avoid the demonstration area, take alternative routes, and adjust their travel schedules.
Separately, Polda Metro Jaya Public Relations Chief Commissioner Budi Hermanto said the Constitution protects the public’s right to express opinions.
However, he urged demonstrators to maintain order and respect other members of the public. He also called on participants to consider the impact of their activities on surrounding communities.
“We hope demonstrators will show tolerance and consider other people in the surrounding area. We are also managing traffic flows, and we must work together to protect public facilities and the community,” Budi said.
Furthermore, he emphasized that public safety remains the police’s main priority during the demonstration.
“This includes all members of the public, including journalists. Their safety is our top priority as Polda Metro Jaya provides security services during public demonstrations,” he added.
