Traffic Signs that feed Kotong Cops

[DonCamote]

Have noticed several traffic signs that do little to guide motorists. I sometimes think they are traps for the kotong cops. Some of these signs are hard to see and if you are new to the place will most likely be a victim.

Here are a few examples...

1. Quirino Ave. in Plaza Dilao in Paco Manila -- moving east, a lot of motorists (including me :oops: ) will notice a solid white line separating the left turn vehicles from straight ahead vehicles. Heavy traffic, and you are following other cars, you will not notice that the broken white line is not broken anymore. Gotcha!

2. Shaw blvd in front of JRC -- try the mornings, it's hard to see the stop light if you are coming from Kalentong towards Edsa. That's why you don't see any cops there in the PM.

3. Quirino Ave cor. Osmena (South Super HiWay), if you are going west straight towards Roxas blvd, always use the last two outer most lane else ...
4. Shaw (forgot corner but this is the only sharp bend of Shaw) -- a very low stop light and it will not be seen unless the vehicle in front of you is a sedan. Good luck.

If you know of others, please post so that we can come up with a list to e-mail DOTC.

Have patience fellow motorists.

share ko lang yung nangyari sakin kanina...

i was driving sa may bambang road sa manila going to tutuban when i came across to this intersection. tuloy-tuloy lang ako kasi wla akong nakitang one-way... ayun huli raw ako kasi one-way.

nagusap kami ng pulis na humuli sakin pero sabi samin ako raw mismo makiusap.. nung sinabi ko na pasensya na at wla akong napansin na oneway hindi na raw pwedeng makiusap kasi nasulat na sa ticket.

bad trip lang.. pero im sure wlang one-way na sign dun. sa if meron man... hindi visible sa driver lalu na pag hindi taga roon. nakakainis i think.

ingat kayo dito.

lastly... since nangyari na ito.. ask ko lang magkano penalty sa one-way violation?

[j_avonni]

Ang alam ko sa one-way violation ay P2,500 + 3 months suspension of driver's license + seminar ang fines and penalties.

Dahil sa dami na ng one way dito sa Metro Manila, I see first kung talagang my one-way sign before entering.

This happened to me before. The one way sign was posted on the WRONG SIDE of the road over 10 feet high and the size of a 'plumber wanted' ad!

Di lang the 2 lanes kundi use the outermost lane kasi other vehicles are taking over also the next lane to it to make a left turn to osmena hi-way

If you're in J. Abad Santos Ave, then turn right to Bambang, ok lang kasi one way yun. But if you turn left (going to Tutuban), 2 way doon.

Dami din talagang nahuhuli sa intersection ng Quirino Ave & South Super Highway. It's a haven for corrupt MMDA officers.

Mga bros, ingat din kayo if you just came from 168 Mall & Meisic Mall in Manila, don't turn left to Reina Regente, bawal dun. Unahan sa paghuli yung mga MMDA & Manila brown traffic cops ni Atienza. You can only turn right going to Binondo. If you wanna turn left, you have to go through either the Caltex or Petron station so you'll drive by Soler Street.

Nabiktima na rin ako dyan, pa left turn ako from shaw going to Edsa pero biglang nagtawiran yung mga tao kaya na stop yung unang car ahead of us, pang apat yata ako run kaya they caught me in the middle "beating the right light daw" sabi ko green pa nung tumawid ako pero red na po ngayon sabi nung dalawang MMDA, I asked kung mag kano violation ko they said mahal daw penalty nun plus seminar, I ask again magkano dapat kung mura lang? We settle for 200pesos... I don't want to give sana kaya lang MAY PAG ASA PA PO BA SA MGA ENFORCERS NATIN NA CORRUPT? paki sama naman po ito sa report na gagawin nyo.

Another one is dun sa Kamuning, ganon din ang racket nila sa Stop light....

Yung mga traffic enforcers ang kailangan ng seminar. Ok ka pagpasok mo sa intersection ay green pa. Kung may nag-block sa yo sa intersection katulad sa nangyari na tumatawid na ang mga tao, hindi mo kasalanan. In fact, kasalanan ng mga enforcers bakit pinatawid ang mga tao na meron pang car na hindi nakapag-complete sa pag-cross ng intersection.

Hi Friends,

I'm glad that I am accepted to join in this forum. It is my wish to contribute to motoring community the better and safer way to use our roads. From time to time I would like to give some tips to my fellow motorists the rules of the road.

Traffic has rules. What we do on the road does not depend on the courtesy of the drivers. It is based on the rules and rules are established for clear cut guidelines.

See you later on the forum.

Thanks.

Good point there. But sometimes the traffic enforcer make the guidelines them self(like beating the yellow light).And the RULES PROTECTORS is the one breaking all the rules!
