bong.a Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 lapit na christmas season. avoid malls and restaurant areas - specially during the christmas party nights. don't you sometimes wish there were billboards or lcd signs on entrances to main thoroughfares just announcing traffic conditions before you proceed. in this way, you could either take alternative routes or just wait awhile and let traffic subside. hirap kasi sa traffic updates sa radio while you're on the road is sometimes it is too late for you to realize na may heavy traffic pala na hindi moving and you end up being caught in it without any alternative routes.

ChiliMac Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Guys from the Q.C. area, a close relative is getting married in Mt. Carmel Church near Broadway and St. Paul's . They made a mistake on the church akala nila ayun yung Mt. Carmel na malapit sa Grand Terraces Restaurant along Commonwealth, dapat yung Mt. Carmel na sa Proj. 6 dapat. Anyways, my question to you guys is what is the best route to take from Mt. Carmel Church going to Commonwealth on a Saturday morning. Ok ba yung Ortigas then C5 or Ortigas/EDSA/East Ave? Pasuyo na lang mga GM's dyan, thanks in advance. Cheers! Quote Link to comment

sandy51 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment
sandy51 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Like what kind of traffic management is it where a driver need not know that he is supposed to stop at the limit line before the pedestrian lane - but he has to know what day of the week it is? What kind of traffic management is it where a driver need not know that, unless so stated, right turn can be done at anytime (with caution of course) that signs have to be placed? But the driver has to know what his ending plate number is. Basic traffic rules are obviously not know by even the people who are supposed to manage the traffic. Get air traffic controllers. I think they understand the basicsw a lot better. Quote Link to comment

And within Makati, there are several jurisdictions: http://www.makatiparking.com.ph/people/other_enforcers.html Quote Link to comment
oscartamaguchiblackface Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment
maxiev Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment

sonnyt111 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Traffic within Metro Manila is expected to worsen with the construction of a road linking SLEX with NLEX. http://newsinfo.inqu...-for-metro-folk MMDA: Traffic woes require lifestyle change for Metro folkMANILA, 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.

Bugatti Veyron Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
