    Last question po, when the article say "right turn only" literally po ba yun? or turning left is also the same?
    Literal.

    Kasi diba kapag mag-right ka you don't need to wait for the oncoming traffic to clear? Diretso ka nalang kumakanan.

    Kapag left turns kasi, iintayin mo pa yung oncoming traffic na lumuwag bago ka pwede mag-left. So idle ka rin. Kapag kanan ka lang dire diretso since wala ka na iintayin lumuwag at side mo naman kasi yon.

    Almost literally if you can reach your destination with only right turns. Do note, that this assumes that intersections will allow right turns anytime. Unfortunately at certain municipalities, you can not turn right this unless the stoplight is green.

    Turning left would mean you will have to cross the traffic flow from the other direction. This would really mean you will need to wait for a green light, which will take time and lots of idling by the engine.

    sirs renzo_d10, ghosthunter - many, many, many thanks po sa sagot and explanation. I really appreciate it very much. I will keep that in mind and will try to review our common route from home-work-office, if/so i could apply this tactic. Many thanks po ulit, sirs.

    ^ Petron Blaze 100.

    Meron ka rin idle time definitely since meron iba local laws na "no right turn on red signal" so more or less mag-intay ka rin.
