Sabi ni chairman tolenetino sa interview kanina kasama na sa contract ung manpower that will man ng traffic. Maybe konting lecture lang from mmda traffic enforcer. Hindi rin nila kaya mag provide additional TE sa laki ng project at 24/7 pa.

Do the authorities use traffic simulation software before starting a big project such as the Skyway? :question:

No use in traffic simulation software. Gago mga drivers dito.

If construction goes into full swing and the traffic becomes really, really untenable, I hope private companies would be considerate enough to allow flexi-time or telecommuting at work. Maybe the government can release an EO that would encourage employers to adopt a flexible work schedule so you can limit the number of cars and commuters on the roads.

Mas yari to pag full swing na rin ang NAIA flyover sa Macapagal at edsa-taft flyover by the last quarter, tapos sabay pa ng xmas season. Goodluck!

Beside Skyway 3, these other road project will also join in the traffic mess. Including the Espana-Lacson Flyover and North Avenue-West Avenue-EDSA interchange... Good luck to all.

MANILA, Philippines - Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Francis Tolentino on Thursday appealed to the contractors of the 15 major infrastructure projects slated to be completed in 2016 to be accountable for the safety and traffic management concerns of their respective projects.

Speaking to the participants of the MMDA Traffic Management Summit 2 at the Asian Institute of Management, Tolentino said his agency is willing to train the contractors' flagmen on traffic management."We are here because we know that the events in the next two to six years can only turn ugly first better it can get better. We are here to manage the situation we are faced with," he said.

Tolentino again called on Metro residents, commuters and motorists to be prepared to make lifetsyle and commuting changes as the construction of the 15 major infrastructure projects get underway in the coming months.

Aside from the Skyway Stage 3 and the NAIA Expressway Phase 2 project, also scheduled for construction within the next coming months are the Gil Puyat-Makati-Avenue-Paseo de Roxas underpass,Sta. Monica-Lawton Avenue bridge, CP Garcia Avenue-McKinley Hill ramp, repair and asphalt overlay of Magallanes Interchange, EDSA-Taft Avenue flyover, MRT Line 3/ LRT Line 1 extension common station, LRT Line 2 East extension up to Masinag, LRT Line 1 Extension (Cavite), EDSA- Roosevelt Ave. interchange, Espana Avenue-Lacson Avenue interchange, repair and rehabilitation and improvement of South Superhighway Makati, the NLEX-SLEX connector road and the EDSA-West Avenue-North Avenue interchange.

The MMDA also earlier proposed that campuses in Manila's university belt area which will be affected by the construction of the infrasture projects, relocate their classes to satellite campuses outside of Metro Manila.

“Offsite campuses will help decongest student population in Metro Manila which, in turn, will redound to lesser volume of commuter, pedestrian, and vehicular volume in our road networks,” Tolentino said.

baliw ba sila, pag sasabay sabayin nila lahat yan. walang problema kung skyway 3 lang tapos pag tapos na skyway 3 don simulan yung north ave-west ave tapos yung naia expressway ang last. kasi sa skyway 3 pa lang malaki na traffic mababawas sa edsa pero kung ganyan sabay sabay lahat yan gagawin malaking kalokohan na yan.

Knowing how these geniuses think, I won't be surprised kung pagsabay sabayin nila iyan.
