Traffic Problem In Metro Manila (Merged Thread)

wag na irenew ang public/private vehicles more than 5yrs old. Ang bilis dumami ng sasakyan dito hnd nakakasabay ang infrastructure

Me kotse ka ba?

[Argonaut]

Matagal na pinaguusapan tanggalin mga provincial bus terminals sa NCR? Sa Cubao kaya laging masikip eh dahil sa mga yan. Walang political will ang gobyerno, malakas pa rin mga lobbyist

[camiar]

Remove the Jeepneys and Tricycles from the cities. Send them all to provincial towns and remote barangays where they are needed.

 

Allow only taxis, buses, and MRTs as public transport in the cities.

disiplina sa kalsada. kahit na mas madami ang private cars hindi naman sila pa tigil tigil kahit saan at tuloy tuloy lang ang takbo hanggang sa destinasyon. dapat may puv lanes sa lahat ng major roads para hindi pa lipat lipat ng lane ang mga bus jeep at mga ubar taxi uv eexpress.

 

at ang uv express dapat point to point lang talaga ang mga yan. hindi parang jeepney na sakay baba kahit saan

When people talk about the traffic here in Metro Manila, a couple of "reasons" were mentioned. PUV drivers were reckless and not law-abiders. Traffic enforcers were corrupt. Private car owners are "maangas." But it seems that one thing is really missing and it will be a good start on solving traffic, DISCIPLINE. There should be discipline in every one of us, not just the drivers. But also of traffic enforcers, pedestrians, and commuters. Drivers should follow traffic rules at all times. Passengers, commuters, and pedestrians should follow the traffic rules (e.g. loading/unloading areas). Enforcers should follow their oath, their duties and their responsibilities.

[rooster69ph]

Tao mismo ang may problema walang disiplina. Sa totoo lang panay sisi natin sa mga tsuper ng public transport pero kahit mga pedestrians wala rin disiplina.

 

Halimbawa hindi sumusunod sa tamang pagtawid...kahit hindi muna dapat tumawid dahil go ang sasakyan eh tatawid pa rin kaya ayun imbes na umuusad un sasakyan eh naiipit.

[Gwen Morales]

Tapos pag me kamay na bakal na lider na nag i instill ng disiplina sa aten, nagtatantrums ang mga pinoy at sasabihin nilalabag ang karapatang pantao. Haha!

 

Katulad ng motorcycle lanes, diba ayaw ng iba diyan? Eh diba inaayos lang para bawas traffic at aksidente? Karapatan daw nila ang bawat lanes ng kalsada na meroon.

 

Sa totoo lang, sa subic nasunod mga tao. May disiplina.

 

Dito lang sa Metro Manila ang waley.

 

Tigas kasi ng ulo. Gusto lahat sila lider.

 

Hehe.

 

Kalokaaaaang trapik.

[golpidegolat]

Disiplina lang naman ang kailangan sa problema natin sa traffic. Hindi lahat, pero mayroong mga driver kasi na may "ako" mentality.

 

Bus driver: Gusto ko makarami ng pasahero para marami "akong" kita.

 

Multiply mo ito by 4 (kahit by 4 lang muna ngayon), tapos take into consideration mo pa ang laki ng mga bus at nasa iisang highway pa ang naturang apat na bus driver na ito. MAGKAKAROON TALAGA NG PAGBAGAL NG DALOY SA TRAFFIC!

 

Napakaraming beses na mag iinit ang ulo mo sa daan sa sobrang bagal ng traffic. Tapos makikita mo pa sa Sky Patrol sa TV na, lahat silang mga bus ay nagkumpol sa unahan para magbaba at magsakay ng pasahero at yung nasa unahan ng mga bus na ito ay napakaluwag. Ibig sabihin sila lang nagpapasikip ng traffic.

 

Bus drivers pa lang ang nasa equation na ito ay. Wala pa ang ibang PUVs at private vehicles dito na may "ako" mentality na driver.

[Freddie C.]

UV Express should not operate like a jeepney. point to point lang dapat mga yan.

pag tigil sakay baba kahit saan talagang traffic yan. mga pulis at militar pa mga driver or operator. wala magawa mga enforcer. mmeron pa may mga baril yan

[*kalel*]

First i think, they need to fix the mass transport systems... including the buses...

 

Have they tried survying metro manila via birds eye view and see where the choke points are?

[blackkeng]

discipline is the key! but i also agree that fixing the mass transportation will help!

[thegod]

Yes discipline, but it is only one of the keys. The problem for most drivers in the Philippines is ignorance of road rules since most have acquired licenses without passing an assessment from the LTO.

 

Now another problem wherein traffic problem is compounded, is the problem on how our government build road infrastructure. Everything is half baked. Roads are built without proper planning. Roads that should have been built years ago are only being built today and these roads are not anymore at an efficient capacity. They are not applicable anymore during the time of construction. Most or I think all of the time, after a road has been built, the public is allowed to use the newly built road in anyhow the public sees fit. There must be road policies that should guided the public on how to properly use the road.

 

Would you think only here in Philippines, road markings are not that important? They are so many cases wherein road markings are almost indistinguishable. Also road signs are lacking and to an extent absent. DPWH can build complete roads up to standards but how we use these roads is a matter of preference for the MMDA and LGU.

 

This leads us to enforcement, imagine a road rule or policy does not jive at all with what the infrastructure is built for. Could we blame the traffic enforcers of the MMDA or LGU, maybe yes for the corrupt ones, but most of these enforcers are limited to what is thrown at them in enforcing. Most of them also don't understand if the rules they are implementing are actually appropriate. For example a road geometry with 3 lanes going straight evenly but with an intersection in between where left turning along the inner lane is allowed at the intersection but not allowed for cars to go straight. How stupid can the legislation be by implementing such rules. Next is the presence of U-turn slots along high speed road. Do we still consider safety here? Why is U-turning permitted for motorists to take the turn and just cross to the outer lane. Does this strategy defeat the purpose of blocking the intersection by replacing it with U-turns? Why would trucks be allowed to traverse an inner lane? Hmmm. Maybe people from the government are just guessing.

 

Now EDSA, C5 which are roads supposedly to would connect a city to another thru better travel times. But what happened? We cannot even drive in a straight line. We always tend to weave because there is always an obstruction in front of us. They say volume is the problem, but the most problematic here is the inner lane of these roads which are not allowed to be free flowing. It is very possible that we can have too much volume along these roads and still be able to drive at a constant speed, not a constant stop.

 

Another thing is the frequent condition of diverging lanes. Why is there an inner lane that needs to merge to the outer lane like along C5 before the elevated U-turn. Safety has been compromised here and not one from our government has fixed this for a very very long time. Imagine you are travelling along Bagong Ilog flyover then you need to slow down up to an abrupt stop just to merge to the outer lane. Good thing is we Filipinos have good reaction time.

 

It is about time that we design roads basing on standards. The LGUs have their own color coded street signs which are different from the other LGU, usually the color relative to the elected politician. Lane marking are nowhere to be found. LGUs do not follow what is prescribed by DPWH or the International Standards.

 

These are just few of what we are experiencing. Napakadaming problema at nagpatong patong na.

 

So what is really the problem here. There is something wrong with the government. How are we to follow if the one wished to be followed is flawed. Flawed infrastructure, wrong road geometry, lacking lane markings and street signs, road policies that are out of place, ignorant drivers, etc.

 

Now let us first make an appropriate infrastructure by implementing complete and well studied projects and by rehabilitating existing road networks. We need to educate drivers by forcing to retake the driver's license assessment both in written and practical tests. If these will be followed, enforcement would be so easy.

 

Mahaba na ata. Marami pa sana akong isheshare kaya lang baka mobore na kayo.

 

Let this be a food for out thoughts. I hope there is somebody from the government here. Hehe.

More Cars Less Parking

 

coding isang car

bili ng isa

coding ulit ung isa

bili ulit

coding na nman

bili ulit

 

cars now a days selling like hotcakes in the street

 

result traffic

 

Mas marami ng private vehicle kesa public

 

and thats the case

 

if the Gov had control the

 

distributor or car dealer

 

the result is less tax that affect the salary or the kickback of many politician

public servant

 

so what to do?

 

nga nga?

 

 

[Gwen Morales]

Mas magandang mass transport system.

 

Magdadala ka pa ba ng sasakyan kung kumportable at mabilis naman mag tren?

 

Hindi naten makokontrol pag dami ng sasakyan. Maiimpluwensyahan lang sa paggamit neto.
