Car-free NYE all over in Indonesia

As Jakartans get ready to celebrate the turn of the year in traffic-free streets at the heart of the capital during the first ever car-free night, authorities in other regions also plan to hold similar events.
Yogyakarta administration will close Jl. Malioboro to motorists starting from 7 p.m. on Monday to make way for pedestrians to enjoy cultural performances in five temporary stages - two big stages and three smaller - as reported by tribunnews.com on Sunday. Jl. A. Dahlan and Jl. Senopati will also be closed.
To prevent traffic jams in Bandung during the big bash, police will close Jl. Ir. H. Djuanda and Jl. Merdeka from 9 p.m. on Monday until 3 a.m. on Tuesday Baso. Jl. Dago has always been clogged with vehicles on New Year’s Eve.
Bekasi residents will also enjoy a car-free night on Jl. Ahmad Yani from 10 p.m. on Monday until 1 a.m. on Tuesday, according to Bekasi Transportation Agency chief Supandi Budiman.
During those hours, the street would be filled with entertainment such as music performances, he said. “Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi will attend the event,” Supandi added
