yup there's a big sign.

OT: everyday, may pinapahinto mga MMDA sa area na yan sa side ng EDSA central, just at the foot before the underpass, i don't know kung bakit...probably swerving?

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.

I've seen the other sign yesterday.

yes indeed, the left turn from edsa to shaw is already prohibited. BUT you can make a U-turn.. labo.

buti na lang hinahatid ko sister ko sa school kaya i really have to make a u-turn.

teka, how do you go to shaw from edsa kung di ka mag uu-turn? ano mas mabilis na daan? kanan ka sa edsa central or direcho ka then maghanap ng u-turn slot?

It's either you go straight ahead and take the next U-turn the turn right to Shaw or turn right to Shaw and take the next U-turn.

Yesterday, from Makati Buendia, I took the Makati Av. Mandaluyong way then turn right to Shaw the to Star Malls. Grabe lang ang traffic.

Matagal nang no left turn dyan (from EDSA to Shaw)... wala namang left turn traffic lights.

Yung iba kasi... sasabay lang kapag nag green yung Shaw... ayun... mag traffic lalo.

What you should do is to take a right before the new mall... left at the next corner... then tawid sa Shaw underpass.

matagal na ba no left turn? I don't think so, kasi when I turn left, meron naman mmda that monitors that particular intersection. I think recently lang talaga nila nilagay ang sign na no left turn. 1st part of this year, wala pa yan.

The other option is to turn right at pioneer?? then go through the side streets na lalabas ka doon banda sa lourdes school, where you can turn left. But ang layo na yan.

kahapon ko lang din nakita yung sign board na yan! yup prohibited na nga ang pag left turn pero pwede ang u-turn, weird ! hehe

bawal na pala? i just made a left turn there a few weeks ago ( and a few weeks before that pa nga eh) w/ the traffic enforcers even assisting me that's why this bit of news surprised me. anyway, thanks for the warning...kung hindi baka madali pa ko ng mmda doon this weekend
