Best Driving Road in the island Luzon ???

[GerardTagayty]

yep great asphalt road here... umabot ako 140kph dun sa straights but i have to brake to 80-90 for the turns... kakatakot ksi may bigla tumatawid kaya hinay hinay lang tlga. all windows open pati moonroof + good weather .. driving nirvana.

ang problema dito yun pabalik in the evening. hehehe! lalo na after a long weekend. it could take you up tp 3 hours para lang makabalik ng tagaytay from nasugbu.

yun stretch din from before silang cavite up to tagaytay sarap daanan. kaya lang nakaka gulat may mga tao motor at aso na biglang nasa gitna ng daan.

The road up to Mount Samat. Bumpy, broken roads, roaring under a canopy of leaves... and absolutely no traffic.

Been meaning to go up there. My last "blat" there was in a 1.3 Sentra. One of the most fun drives I've ever had.

The Santa Rosa to Tagaytay road is a good one, but there's way too much traffic.

only if you drive up pretty early in the morning... like 630am on that stretch will it be enjoyable. Otherwise, traffic hell.

North:
- stretch of Bacnotan, La Union to the bridge before Tagudin, Ilocos Sur
- Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur (scenic yung hiway, coastal view)
- After Laoag, yung road going to PAgudpud
- Zambales stretch (from Iba to Sta Cruz) coastal view din
- Pangasinan (Sual - coming from minor curves downhil straight towards Alaminos)

South:
- stretch of Quirino Hiway in Sta Elena, CamNorte to Ragay in Cam Sur
- the stretch in Dolores, Quezon to Gumaca

Mindanao:
- stretch after Digos going towards GenSan

Visayas:
- Iloilo (stretch of Pasi to Duenas)

I'm taking notes here...

only if you drive up pretty early in the morning... like 630am on that stretch will it be enjoyable. Otherwise, traffic hell.

Try 4-5 am on a Sunday. Too many trikes and Jeeps after sunrise. I've only had two or three "runs" up there, and I only live fifteen minutes away.

The roads around Highlands are nice, but they're mostly of the low-medium speed variety.

I love the stretch throught the mountains on the way to Tugegarao, but the tarmac is broken and traffic is bad there unless you go late at night. Very quick road, though, and challenging in parts... and the view is absolutely lovely on a full-moon night.

I agree with Vhenok. Galing mo ah.

Pero I'll choose something else if only because to GET to those roads, you have to pass a lot of Bad Ones. Kaya NLEX for me!

SkyWay...

300kph on a Ford GT.

Nuff said.

My favorite Luzon roads:

> Zambales - Pangasinan Highway
> "Laguna Loop" (From Rizal to Calamba around Laguna Lake)
> Laguna - Infanta/Real (nice mountain roads... havent taken this since the landslides/flash floods a few eyars ago though)
> Ilocos Norte/Sur
> Kennon Road (whenever it's newly paved)
> NLEX (Stretch bet. San Fernando and Angeles Exit, and the Southbound lane after the toll booth when there's no traffic)

Mindanao:
> Davao - GenSan - Isulan (South Cotobato) - Sarangani
> CdO - Davao (via Bukidnon)

The Skyway may be nice, but it's too short.

The NLEX is a great place to "stretch your legs", but it's an expensive stretch.
