Actually sa counterflow may isang super-ogags na nag uumpisa,
tapos nagsusunuran na lahat, parang follow-the-leader.
Sir Architect, the situation you described in Santolan is just
an average metro Manila street scene, in other words its
happening all over the place!
As I mentioned in a previous thread of the same subject, its
the traffic enforcers who allow counteflowing that's instilling
this deadly mentality on our motorists!

i used to think the same way, until nakakita ako (several times) ng nagcocounterflow despite the presence of a center island. ang pinaka madalas yata is from green meadows going to ortigas center. once, nakakita rin ako sa intersection ng white plains/santolan headed towards katipunan. center islands wont work, kasi meron pa rin talagang hindi susunod. what is needed talaga is stricter implementation.

December 23rd, 2007 02:35 PM #15Its very frustrating nowadays driving in Metro Manila especially when you follow every traffic rules and regulation where others dont.May I have some suggestions :
1. our traffic enforcers must be educated first with traffic rules.and enforce them.Their priority is not hiding in the corner to apprehend traffic violators but to supervise traffic.
2. whenever there is sign that reads no left turn they should implement it.
JUst like the corner of sta mesa and pureza, there is a sign no left turn and yet MMDA Enforcer and Manila traffic officer allowed it. since the inner lane is for fast moving vehicle when the stop light turn to green, we expect the traffic to go smoothly on that lane but those vehicle stop at the corner to turn left thus causing traffic.
3.driver before getting license should have seminar and undergone proper examination by a private group but not the lto since you know many things happen in LTO.
4.professinal license issued to truck driver and public utility vechicles should be scrutinized. they must be taught proper road courtesy and the proper place to load and unload passenger. Just like in aurora blvd. near uerm if you coming from cubao, those jeepney build a terminal around that corner making it one lane to private car. And yet sometimes there is an enforcer standing nearby to apprehend those beating the red light instead of clearing thehjeepney terminal.
5. The best way to implement traffic regulations is to install camera every corner of the streets. Wherein if you are caught by the camera you will be mailed by your violations. It is more efficient than traffic enforcer and no tong will be given to them. or you might caught enforcer by surprise by not doing his duty. If human right is violated as claim by some maybe a bill should be enacted by congress.
6 And lastly, those motorcyles are road hazards. they swerve in and out on any opennings. When accidents happen we are always at fault. One time I saw jollibee delivery boy weaved out of a traffic which he immediately went to the counterflow lane wherein traffic is moderate. When the driver from the opposite driving at his normal speed without expecting a motor who suddenly came out to his path and thus hitting the motor. Sad to say the driver have to settle the bill of the motor both bodily injury and property damage. Are our laws always favor the victim because of bodily injury and not finding who is at fault.

haay,ewan ko dito sa atin natural na ata ang magcounterflow at parang naging tama pa nga ata ang pagkakacounterflow.
kasi,eto tayong lahat sumusunod sa traffic rules and regulation ang naiinis at parang nagmumukhang tanga at ang isa pang nakainis pag nakatapos pa sa pagka counterflow, magka-cut naman sa inyo yang mga yan, dahil gustong bumalik dun naman sa lane,kaya gulo-gulo na at traffic na.
nakikita kasi dito ang ugali ng pilipino dito, na hindi makapagantay o makapagchaga sa pagpila ng maayos.

It's even worse when you travel to the province during a long weekend and it's traffic on the provincial highway (i.e. Holy Week, All Souls day weekend). Once someone starts to counterflow, the traffic becomes really bad.
Along the White Plains stretch of Katipunan it's usually those for hire vans/shuttles that counterflow in the evening traffic...
IIRC they're with AVID. The reported numbers in the TG article are from CAMPI.
