    A few hours ago I was reading this blog
    http://thor.prohosting.com/magne/drivers.html, and it hit me what suggestions or solutions could we give our Government, including MMDA, Mayors, PNP, City police, even the President of our country to prevent this concerns or make it better for all of us who drives the public roads..

    Kindly post some here to inspire people too as well as do something about it to back it up, para hinde masabe na puro salita lang tayo dudes..

    I suggest to have a proper terminals for jeeps and punish jeeps who pick up or drop off passengers pre-maturely

    + Treat 2-3 wheel vehicles as though they are full-fledged 4-wheel vehicles. This means bawal ang lusot-lusot in any situation unless emergency.
    + In addition to the establishment of official terminals for PUV's as stated above, PUV's to be restricted to the rightmost 50% of the 2-lane-wide or more roads, unless with the intention of turning left on the next corner. This means they cannot move to the left 50% of the road in any given time. If you notice, it's always PUV's that cause many traffic jams because of their "illegal terminals" to which they hog 75% of the road. (Hello, mga g*gong jeepneys sa may Sto. Domingo Church sa Q. Ave at sa Q. Boulevard sa may Isetann Recto.)
    + Fix all bus routes in Metro Manila so as to minimize the U-turns these big hunks of garbage make. Everytime they make a U-turn, it slows down traffic a great deal.
    + Be strict about headlight and tail light operation on vehicles.
    + Fix the idiotic traffic light scheme in the Metro and have some form of traffic monitoring system. Too many instances of having a red light on an intersection with too many waiting vehicles while the perpendicular green light has none.
    + Implement timed stops of PUV's on terminals. This means that they have a time limit on waiting for passengers.

    Concrete traffic barriers



    Remove or else properly mark them.


    Cars hitting them at day or night isn't because people are drunk or speeding. It is because those damned things are hard to see in perfect weather conditions. They are impossible to see in bad weather conditions, especially at night.

    MMDA & cops should stop blaming motorists when cars hit barriers simply because those barriers are lethal traffic hazards set in the middle of the road will little regard to public motoring safety rules.

    yeah and addition to that, fix all those fast traffic lights too.. And the Police unless there are emergency should follow the traffic lights.. Pati na yung mga government officials and escorts nila, at least yung mga senator and below.. para pakita na model citizens sila

    better kung kasama pati VP and President

    one thing also, twice na eto nangyari sa akin na walang advisory na ang roxas blvd or a portion of it eh isasara due to some events. nagulat nalang ako na sarado ang roxas from quirino to pedro gil a few weeks ago. may susunduin sana ako sa may leveriza. instead of a few minutes nalang from roxas to leveriza dahil nasa intersection na ko ng quirino, bigla ba namang sarado. tuloy, inabot ako ng 1 oras para lang makarating ng leveriza from roxas blvd.

    People were suppose to contribute solution not problem in this thread, please follow the instructions.. I know were better than those un-disciplined people.. But I think I know what you guys, testament & rai, mean - City cops/ MMDA should alert us in advance about the closing of roads and such in advance via media or what not.. A good point but I think we should fix first the morality and loyalty of the traffic police or police in general first to implement this rule. As my philosophy goes," A Happy traffic cop means a happy motorist" , if the cops are happy with their job that means they will be more chances that they will pay it forward and have high morale. And that means people who comes across them will be happy too cos they are doing a justly, fair and good job

    *gongrhey: this has been implemented regarding jeeps, but what's so anal about this is that they implement this in selected areas only

    *CVT : yeah, dapat sila may kasalanan and punished if they are caught in accident due to this stupidity
