Traffic Problem In Metro Manila (Merged Thread)

[Bugatti Veyron]

MMDA seems to try at improving traffic flow. It seems apparent however that a lot of implementors have never even read a driver's manual because a lot of signs are not according to standard. Like yellow line for a bus lane? Hindi ba the manual says yellow line means there is an opposite traffic? So when does one stay left of the yellow line and when does one stay right of it? Then, it also seems apparent that they do not have a concept of bottleneck. Look at Katipunan in front of Ateneo. They could make the lanes before the U-Turn slots even a hundred lanes and it still would not matter because traffic gets constricted at the U-Turn lanes. But the big question I guess is, ultimately, who is really in charge of traffic management? MMDA? Police? LTO, DPWH, DOTC? Who? Where does the buck stop?

I think the MMDA has jurisdiction over traffic management within Metro Manila EXCEPT Makati. And within Makati, there are several jurisdictions: http://www.makatiparking.com.ph/people/other_enforcers.html

As of 02/05/2013 try to avoid Chino Roces Avenue (formerly Pasong Tamo) going towards Pasay Road from EDSA. There's construction going on near Don Bosco causing a terrible bottleneck in that area.

Pasong Tamo in front of Walter Mart is now two way. So is Pasay Road coming from SLEX heading towards EDSA. Don't know if this is temporary to relieve the congestion along Pasong Tamo resulting from construction work near Don Bosco.

Traffic within Metro Manila is expected to worsen with the construction of a road linking SLEX with NLEX.

MMDA: Traffic woes require lifestyle change for Metro folk

MANILA, Philippines – With the construction of Skyway Stage 3 and several other major infrastructure projects in Metro Manila getting under way, a lifestyle change may be in order for the millions of motorists and commuters who will be enduring heavy traffic due to the roadworks in the next two years.

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Francis Tolentino on Friday asked the riding public to adopt what he called the "Roadways Construction Lifestyle Adjustment."

 

Tolentino said Metro Manila residents should consider limiting their trips to within their respective localities to minimize vehicular and pedestrian volume on the roads.

 

"If you're a Pasay City resident, don't go to Quezon City just to watch movies. We should plan our trips ahead so as not to contribute to traffic congestion and also for our own convenience," Tolentino said in a statement.

 

Tolentino also suggested that private companies, especially those along the route of construction projects, implement "flexitime" working hours for their employees.

 

"This is a construction of massive proportions that would last 32 months," he said, referring to Skyway Stage 3 project whose groundbreaking rites were held Wednesday. "Building this alternative highway is expected to create traffic problems so everyone should make adjustments."

 

Appealing for "patience and understanding," Tolentino stressed that the MMDA would lead a traffic summit on the first week of February to draft a comprehensive traffic management plan for the entire metropolis.

It's best to avoid driving when heavy rains lasting continually for 30 minutes or more hit Metro Manila. Practically the entire metropolis is heavily flooded and traffic grinds to a virtual stop.

 

Not to mention that flood waters can damage a vehicle's computer box which, if damaged, could cost over P50,000 to replace. It's best to find a place to park while waiting for the flood waters to recede.
