Do you hate it when drivers stay on an intersection or over a pedestrian lane?

[gearhead]

I realized that there are some driving habits that are quite off here. Like the thing where drivers stay on a pedestrian lane or over the intersection when it isn't moving. Isn't it universal that cars should not violate this? Yet they do.

In the "Tipping Point" it says that small things can lead to bigger change.Whether good or bad. That being the case, do these little violations actually contribute to the worsening of things in a bigger way? When people actually think it is okay to make small violations and that snowballs to worse things?

this also counts for those motorcycles that moves in front of a stoplight kaya kung minsan hirap tumawid.

:bad:

yes i do hate. not it but the drivers. they're idiots.

[gearhead]

bakit di sila hinuhuli? Makati itong pic. eh diba huli-happy ang mapsa? ba't ganito pinalalampasan? Kasi walang pera ang mga jeepney? Yet it isn't just jeepneys who violate. Almost everyone does.

Tapos bubusinahan ka kung hindi ka nakatutok.

I just ignore them. Those who stay sa pedestrian lane, what can you do? Go down and tell them to move back? Some people just don't know what's the difference between the two.

Isang nangyari sa akin noon may naka wang wang and they entered the rightmost lane where I was parked right by the pedestrian lane. I had no choice but to move forward to let the convoy pass. Naka escort rin sila. So ayun nakapark ako sa pedestrian lane because of that. Does that count?

actually it's very hard to change the bad habits of drivers here in the philippines because those people who are suppposed to impose the law are usually too lazy to impose them, don't care about their surroundings worst, make money out of their position in the society...

What if a disabled (in wheelchair) is the one who will cross?

[NightRock]

I bet majority of Jeepney driver doesn't know that rules...

[mhelskie]

basta alam ng mga jeepney drivers, pag daan, kahit anong daan pa yan, pde nilang daanan, kasehodang kung ano pa mang sign or sulat ang nakalagay sa daan...geeesshhh

usually the PUV's, taxis and motor bikes are the inconsiderate ones who violate this, blocking the pedestrian lanes. I remember once in Manila all vehciles were stopped in the intersection waiting for the green light with the enforcer in the middle of the pedestrian lane and all of a sudden it was packed by a dozen or so motor riders making the pedestrians cross thru a maze like barrier of bikes... this is now a common sight on the road today

Mga PUVs, parang celfone mga yan e...pre-paid na kasi e...

[buriroy]

Some drivers are so inconsiderate that they even block the
entrance to hospitals on bumper-to-bumper traffic. What I dont
get is what can they hope to gain by blocking the intersection,
hospita entrances, etc. when hindi naman sila maka-abante pa
kasi bumper-to bumper nga yung traffic.
I guess selfishness and being manhid to others is so ingrained
in their persona that it becomes an automatic response not to
leave any space between their car and the car in front of them.
What a bunch of jerks! Sana makarma sila, next time they
block a hospital entrance, may dumating na ambulance na hindi
makapasok at ang pasyente kamag-anak pala nila!

[NightWinger]

Marami na talaga mga Manhid o Wala alam sa traffic regulation sa Pinas. Ano ba maaasahan natin pag ang law protector is the one breaking the law?

[VtEC]

but then again nasa enforcer yan.just wondering if the enforcers knows what they are doing or not??!minsan huhulihin kanalang basta basta minsan naman dapat ng hulihin dipa din hinuhuli.hay buhay.

I've seen a few MAPSA enforcers apprehending vehicles parked on the pedestrian lane. IMO, if there are clear pedestrian markings, then this should be strictly enforced.

Yup yup... lalo na sa bandang Makati-Jupiter-Buendia intersections.

In fairness to them, kapag late or alanganin sila magpa stop (when using only hand signals when bypassing the traffic lights) no biggie yung mag stop ka sa pedestrian lane (happened to me a couple of times already). IMO - mas ok nang mag stop ka ng alanganin than disregard their hand signals.

I always comply to this rule, unfortunately, it's really frustrating to see na bigla na lang mapupuno ng motorcycles yung pedestrian lane, wala tuloy matawirang safe zone yung mga tao, lalo na yung mga kababayan nating physically challenged

Ah well, that's acceptable, for as long as it's the exception rather than the rule. In times that they take over from the traffic lights, ok lang. But in regular situations, motorists should be mindful of the markings on the road. Bike riders and PUV drivers included.
