now thanks God. Passing through this was 1/2 hour ordeal b4
I had conversation with an AUV driver yesterday. I was his lone passenger for about 10 km at floodway and we had plenty of time to talk.
Our conversation focused on the traffic which certainly affects his livelihood. What causes the traffic and how it can be solved:
1. Illegal parking on main thoroughfares. While the signs say they are tow away zones, the road widening of floodway for instance resulted in the same width of road for use by motor vehicles. tHe road widening became the parking lot/garages of vehicle owners along the floodway.
2. Just too many vehicles? How can you reduce them? Have age limit on what vehicles can travel ply the roads (the vintage car owners, the 4x4 owners are fighting tooth and nail to have this neutralized)
3. Too many colorum vehicles. They do not pay the franchise fees but rather pay the protection money to some govt authorities
4. We need good traffic management. More training of traffic enforcers. Be sure we have traffic enforcers at the major thoroughfares and highways. At the bottleneck at C6 and Highway 2000, most of the time no one is watching. No traffic cops, hence the horrendous traffic at C6.
What they say about Pasig blue boys?
What are the action plans?
