Buendia-Fort Boni fly over

**carlocaraddict** · July 20th, 2006 09:11 PM

Ilang beses na ako dumadaan dito pag gabi. Napansin ko lang na walang ilaw itong flyover. A while ago and last night, kung hindi ako nag high beam, hindi ko makikita na may mga bikers pala, tapos yung isa nagmamadaling lumilipat ng lane, kung may naka low beam na vehicle at mabilis yun ang takbo, sapul yun. Its so dangerous lalo na dun sa "dangerous curves" ng flyover. Ano ba yun? nagtitipid ba ng kuryente? Very dangerous!

Not only is it dimly lit, the metal strips that connect the concrete is slippery when its raining. Before going down to Fort, on the last right bend the water accumulates and could be bad for motorcyclist.

not could-be but really bad for a motorcyclist, I was once riding my motorcycle on that "zipper" and I was already running at >30kph on a wet weather and I kept the motorcycle from leaning even a bit, and suddenly my rear end fishtailed, good thing I was able to gain control of the bike and move out of the zipper, I was given no choice but to run over the "zipper" during that time for there was a car on my right so I wouldn't want to block his/her way so I took the "zipper" lane so in case you see motorcycles flocking on the outermost part of this road, pagpasensyahan niyo na po.

It is not only dangerous for bikes but for cars as well, I've seen a car toppled on it's left side, it's a Chevy Optra, I reckon she took the left hander at a speed maybe a bit higher than necessary and had her left pair of wheels running on the "zipper" and all it's traction were passed on the pair of wheels in the right hand side, exceeding its limit and understeered having the car going for the guard rail, good thing the guardrail had the car toppled rather than send it flying over Edsa. She's taking the lane approaching Fort/Kalayaan by the way...

yup, naexperience ko ito, may nagmomotor sa harap namin, tapos dumulas siya doon sa metal strip. buti na lang medyo mabagal yung takbo at nakapreno kung hindi sapul yung nakamotor. sana magawan nila ng paraan yung metal strip.

sa magallanes flyover may metal strip din, iniiwasan ko ito hanggang maari.

Be cautious when you pass through these flyovers. Not just the one mentioned but in all the flyovers you are going to pass. Reducing your speed to a safe level would definitely reduce the risk of accidents. You have limited maneouvering space and it only takes a split second to react in cases of emergency and given the limitations, the effect doubles or even more so it would be prudent to take the necessary precautions.

True. Nakatakot nga yung mga kasabay ko kagabi na cars eh. Since I have to drive slower because it was dark, there was this black Altis that couldnt take my speed. He overtook me sa may curve. Darn, hinahabol ni kamatayan.

Ako pag ganyan ka dilim high beam na ako hirap na..
Alam ko yung ibang streets may schedule kung kailan binubuksan ang ilaw at kung kailan hindi binubuksan ang ilaw..
Alam ko dati nung bago yan merong ilaw dyan..Malamang nagtitipid na.
Nagtitipid na may consequence ang tawag ko sa ganyan..

Lagi talagang walang ilaw dyan. Ewan ko nga kung bakit eh. Basta when I pass there, I make sure that I have my headlights on high beam so that I can see everything and to pass slowly. I remember my bestfriend was riding a motorbike and muntik na syang sumemplang dun. We have to be extra cautious when passing though roads/pass/flyovers like that.
