I just heard nebrija a few minutes ago and those edsa bus barriers aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

Galing the way the Fort hit the barrier. It's almost exactly like a smalll-overlap crash test, which Asian and Latin NCAP doesn't seem to test.

Paano usually na accident mga sasakyan na yan sa barriers sa EDSA? Mabilis takbo nila?

it's a combination of:
1. narrow lane made narrower by fat, concrete divider;
2. divider not very visible, even in the best of lighting;
3. fat motor vehicle (bus!); and
4. speed. in the one or two videos i saw, the vehicle seemed to be traveling at speed. but hey! this is EDSA! they're not supposed to be crawling...

i guess the mmda folks are not permitted to publicly admit, that them concrete dividers are roadway hazards.

Mabuti naman. Pero kailangan din ng disiplina at kooperasyon ng lahat.

MMDA to replace concrete barriers on EDSA with bollards —GM Garcia

Interviewed on Dobol B sa News TV on Wednesday, MMDA General Manager Jojo Garcia said that the replacements will be sponsored by the private sector.

“In the next few weeks po, lalagyan po natin 'yan yung bollards na mas manipis po 'yun,” he said.

However, Garcia noted that concrete barriers will remain at loading and unloading areas for commuters' safety.

“’Yun pong ating loading and unloading base—200 meters before, 1000 meters after—lalagyan rin natin ng concrete barriers ‘yan na dikit-dikit,” he added.

they should also widen the lane.
i mean, these are buses, not wigos...

I wonder if they have used the original bus lane (outer lane of edsa) and put those barriers there, what could've been the outcome?

Yep, tapos meh proposal pa recently na dagdagan pa ng 1 pang lane EDSA..sobrang hirap na nga sa 5 lanes, ngayon napatunayan na ng carousel lane it really won't work to have a 6th lane.

Parang Skyway elevated lang (different thread though)

Actually, kasalanan din na mga motorista kung bakit may barriers.. kulang sa disiplina yung iba, pag sinabi bus lane di ka dapat pumasok dun kahit nga may barriers pumapasok pa rin...

If drivers follow the rules there will be no barriers and there will be no accident due to barriers...

No parking sign, may nagpapark kaya nilalagyan din ng mga barricades yung daan... imbes lumuwag, lalo naging maliit ang kalsada...

Why Hoomans ... why...

Distracted driving.

Misaligned barriers, sabagay kung focused ka kahit may mis aligned maiiwasan mo pero tao ka lang din naman at mabubulaga at mabubulaga hindi ka nga nasagi sa barrier biglang preno mo nabangga ka naman sa likuran.

I just avoid yung lane beside the barriers.
