Traffic Problem In Metro Manila (Merged Thread)

[haroots2]

Like I said before over population and centralization of business/employment opportunity in Metro Manila in one of the causes of heavy traffic. If we can improve the employment opportunity on nearby provinces like in Central Luzon and Calabarzon that should help immensely. But we need to improve their roads not just the expressways. Big successful businesses in provinces need efficient trade routes to Metro Manila. If people in those regions can have the same salary that they get in Metro Manila they would rather work there rather than traveling in and out of MM. Kailangan talaga ma decentralize ang Metro Manila para gumaang din ang traffic. Maximizing Clark Int'l Airport would also help. The skyway they are building now from Balintawak up to NAIA would also help the traffic.
Assigning a traffic czar or better yet hire some 3rd party consultant company from abroad that would assess our traffic situation and recommend a solution to ease the traffic.

big thinking needs big projects....

start na lang muna sa basic as in.....

* turuan ang trafiic enforcers kung paano wag mangotong.....ng mga private vehicles.... wala pa akong nakitang jeep, bus, taxi na hinuli.

* turuan ang traffic enforcers na palisin sa main street ang mga trycicle at pedicabs.

* turuan ang traffic enforcers na papuntahin sa kana yung mabagal sa daan....

* turuan ang traffic enforcers na wag payagan ang illegal stops and double parking....

 

$turuan yung mga MMDA sa AIRPORT and COASTAL na mag traffic at wag mag kwentuhan.....paalisin yung mga bus na naka quadruple parking sa tabi.

$turuan yung mga MMDA na mag traffic sa paakyat ng overpass sa EDSA and roxas blvd

 

nung panahon ni Marcos...walang Jay Walking kasi lahat ng mahuli ay kukulong sa isan corner na may sign na 'jaywalker po kami'

pag dating ng alas 5 uwi na sila.....

siguro pwede gawing municipal law ang kamukha niyan....a big maybe....

 

mga simpleng solusyun lang po at madaling ipatupad na kaagad....

 

higit sa lahat sanayin ang tao sa pag sunod sa batas sa pamamagitan ng penalty ayon din sa batas....

 

welcome po ang improvement idea hindi po criticism....marami na po nyan....

Masyado marami na kasi may sasakyan. What we need is not more roads. We need better public transportation. We need infastructure in order to lessen the need of people to use their private vehicles.

One reason kung bakit dumami private vehicles is marami ng kriminal sa public transport. Mga mandurukot, holdaper molester etc. Yung mga babae ngayon prefers owning a car if they can afford than commuting in public vehicles. Even their parents buys them a car just to feel their children are more safe.

[haroots2]

The private vehicles are growing in number exponentially because of cheaper gasoline and because it is easier to own a car now because of relatively low bank financing interest rates and the fringe benefits of companies to its employees. It's a matter of affordability, not crime.

I agree that its more affordable now but I only stated one of the reason that increases in volume. We have a heavy traffic problem before gasoline rate becomes cheaper and not just because interest rates is lower you have to buy one. It only entice you to buy it because its safer especially for women.

Suggestion sa traffic problem. Watch the videos in the news. Kung consistent ang problem, it only means that the enforcers are not doing their jobs, which means their supervisors are not doing theirs. Fire the supervisors. If so many supervisors have problems of weak supervision, fire the supervisor of the supervisors, and so on up the line. Always make it the accountability of the immediate supervisor up the chain. Cheap solution lang ito - that is if we really are serious

[rey.etder]

its never going to be fixed. roads are too small, manila is too small and the amount of cars are just too much. its a simple math.

[shemale]

wala ba ginagawa goverment sa traffic situation dito lalo nagiging worst kasi.

[jopok]

simple muna...alisin lahat ng naka park sa mga national road..sa taft lang lapit sa la salle...malate area...yung mga negosyo na walang parking area at ang kliyente ay nakapark sa daanan..trysikel at pedicab,kuliglig sa mga national road...zone run ng mga bus...

[dos8dos]

considering there are more drivers on the road than enforcers, we could make a whole lot of difference by displaying more discipline by inculcating discipline among ourselves

[getsumei]

I no longer see any solution actually. Dami mahilig mangatwiran e. Ive seen and read lots of suggestions only to be shutdown by a selfish argument.

 

Lets take the cars parked on/by the sidewalks as an example. Obviously they are a cause of traffic. Remove them. Dont counter that there are no parking spaces. Layo kayo ng onti at may makikita din kayo. Maghanap ka kahit malayo. Ang tatamad gusto lagi malapit sa babaan.

 

Kung wala talaga makuha space then leave the car in your garage. Walang garahe? Why buy a car in the first place? Kasi convenient/secure? I dont see the convenience when you would be cursing the long hours on the road because of traffic. There is still no security when you're stuck in traffic with close to frustrated drivers around. Kahit saan ka magpunta kung di ka maingat mapag didiskitahan ka talaga sa krimen.

 

 

Thats just an example. Mahirap alisin sa atin ang pangangatwiran. Hanggat walang gusto magbigay - wala tayo karapatan umasa.

 

Ang totoo ang nakikita kong solusyon ay alisin ang mga lumang kotse/van/truck. Ung mga mausok ang tambutso. Dalawa ang masosolusyunan nun. Trapiko at polusyon.

 

Ai onga, may magrereklamo wag makialam sa kotse ng my kotse kasi di ko naman pera pinambili 😏

Mass Transpo ang solution. And also ung No Garage, No Car Policy sana maipasa.

Unfortunately, Daang Matuweed is an epic fail at this.

Correct!

 

Kahit hindi garage. Kahit carport lang.

 

No Carport - No Car Policy.

 

Just like in major Japanese cities like Tokyo..

 

Start with Makati and Manila.
