August 6th, 2008 08:27 AM #41The elevated U-TURN thingamajig was opened last friday night.
My comments:
- BOTTLENECK at the egress point of the flyover! Those stupid jeepney drivers will try to pick up passengers at right side of the road and then try to muscle their way into the remaining 2.75 lanes under the flyover.
- 2.75 lanes? I don't know if this is just an optical illusion... but... it seems that the egress point of the flyover ate up more than 2. The choke point seems to be only able to accomodate 2 cars comfortably, and 1 car almost close to the edge of the road.
- Lane markers! IF you follow the lane markers, you'll hit the side of the road! :D
Actually, if the MMDA can enforce just a bit of discipline on those damned jeepneys, maybe the bottleneck situation at the base of the flyover can be avoided. Okay na sana.
I already tried the U-TURN. There's a big empty space doon sa turning point. Siguro next month may shanty na doon.

I'm just thankful the construction has stopped. Passing the intersection in the southbound direction doesn't seem like a potential accident waiting to happen any more.
This was a good idea but I'm still not convinced the MMDA built it the right way. A few lanes disappeared irregularly from C5 just to make room for this...tsk tsk.

Hindi lang "SIGURO". Talagang may topak si TSERMAN BF.
Does it surprise me that BF has gone and done a stupid thing as the elevated U-Turn, of course not.
If Epifanio de los Santos were alive today, he would grab BF by the balls and kick the hell out of him.
What surprises me is that nag-sawa na ata si TSERMANG sa kaka renovate at pag pintura sa EDSA. I have seen EDSA from its humble beginnings as HIGHWAY 54 to what it is now. Then EDSA was a 4 Lane Gravel Highway with a 2 Lane service road on the sides. At least in the 60s, if you travel on one lane from Cubao you'd end up on the same lane in Pasay. Just try following one lane from Caloocan to Pasay. MAgugulat ka dahil huhulihin ka kasi nag "SWERVING" ka without changing lanes!!!
YES, KALAYAAN ELEVATED U-TURN is indeed a Fiasco. Why? Alam nyo naman sa metro-manila, pag nag-trapik sa isang kalsada, damay lahat.

If I had things my way, the existing U-turn ramp would have been on the OTHER side of the C5-Kalayaan intersection. No doubt in my mind it's the busier part of the road; people make U-turns there because they want to turn left to Kalayaan, to the point of eating 2-3 other lanes.
Anyway, there's no stopping the MMDA from doing a sister U-turn ramp...on where it should have been in the first place. I just hope they do it right this time.
