BEWARE: "NO LEFT TURN" from EDSA to Shaw Blvd.

**j_avonni** · July 26th, 2006 01:17 PM

Just informing those who are not yet aware that Left Turn from EDSA to Shaw Blvd. has been disallowed. Instead, you have to turn right to Shaw Blvd. and take a U-turn or go straight to EDSA and take a U-turn. What a waste of time and gasoline.

Every Tuesday, I go to Star Malls. But, yesterday, unaware of the change in traffic scheme, I turned left from EDSA (coming from Makati) to Shaw Blvd. Then, I was stopped by a batallion of MMDA Traffic Enforcers.

My reasonings and arguments were futile. However, the TE intimated something. So, I just gave him a donation.

BEWARE!

Hmmm. . . . I didn't know pwede pala mag left-turn dyan recently. I know that no left-turn dyan for years since I live just near that area. That's why all cars turns right to Edsa Central, then left just before the palengke, cuts thru the slot just under the Shaw flyover and turn left into Shaw.

parang nakapag-left turn na ako dyan dati

**mrpink** · July 26th, 2006 02:25 PM

nag-le-left at nag-u-uturn din ako diyan coming from makati .. u-turn din ba bawal na diyan ?

baka nag bago na since way back na wala pa yan fly-over, dati na-u-uturn at left turn ako dyan tapos nagbawal. Nabuksan yun Boni tunnel kaya doon na lang ako dumadaan. Siguro nung tinayo na yun fly-over, pwede na ulit dahil nga lumuwag ng konti doon.

Uh, parang walang left turn dian noon pa, wala pang flyover, wala pang MRT. Although with MMDA changing schemes, I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed it once and then stopped it and no signs were posted.

Maybe you should have insisted the MMDA to point to you where is the sign that says NO LEFT TURN, if it really exists at all.

**baiskee** · July 26th, 2006 05:25 PM

yep..sana may sign board.

**j_avonni** · July 26th, 2006 05:34 PM

There is indeed a sign on the MRT post but I didn't notice it because I was following a bus.

The TE also said there is another sign before the intersection but I didn't notice / mind it too thinking that it is still allowed to turn left.

I'll just be very careful and observant next time.
