MMDA Pushes for More Elevated U-Turns in Metro Manila
The Metro Manila Development Authority today hoped that the Department of Public Works and Highways would heed the request of the agency to build an elevated U-turn along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.
MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando said an elevated U-turn in the major thoroughfare would further ease the traffic in the area especially during rush hours.
“It’s most appropriate there because of the wide lanes,” Fernando said during a radio program this morning.
He said building elevated U-turns in some major thoroughfares in the metropolis would also greatly help the traffic in these areas.
Fernando cited that such structures will be appropriate in selected areas of Quezon Avenue.
As this developed, Fernando said the elevated U-turn along Kalayaan Avenue in Makati City will be open to traffic on April 15.

how about actually reducing the number of vehicles on the road so that less of these are needed? or invest on mass transportation infrastructures instead of these?
why not construct flyover for opposite directions and u-turns underneath very similar to c-5 corner ortigas ave.(I.P.I area)
c-5 corner ortigas ave is very ideal as no heavy traffic is encountered nowadays, our road network needs more widening project instead of uturns.
