Right turn dilemma on EDSA

**Cult Zero** · September 21st, 2007 08:04 AM

Add ko lang. Aside from the right turn going to Ortigas malabo rin yun U-turn sa harap na EDSA shrine. Sobrang laki ngayon ng U-turn na yan (6 lanes yata yun!) tapos mag memerge into 1 lane with vehicles from Ortigas and from North kaya talagang singitan yun mga going Makati. Ano kayang logic bakit nila nilakihan yun, aayusin ba nila yun or talagang ganun na? Ang daming MMDA pero walang nag aayos ng traffic lahat nag aabang lang ng mahuhuli

Hindi ka nagiisa boss nico wala din akong respeto sa mga yan.

Although may mga ok din naman kaso kung titingnan mo sa numero eh di hamak na sangkatutak ang dami ng mga holdaper na yan kesa sa mga ayos mag trabaho.

Hindi ako MMDA enforcer, so I won't try to insult your intelligence.

In other countries (where the traffic situation is more "civilized"), if there's a Yield sign, you really have to make a full stop even if it's very obvious that there's nothing to yield to. Same as with Stop signs. Thing is, Pilipinas ito. Since when did we implement this? Before I was born, possibly. If they're starting to implement it now, well and good, but PLEASE NAMAN, BE CONSISTENT! Nahahalata lang na wala silang ibang habol kundi maka-delihensya at lalong nao-obvious ang kabobohan nila!

Yes, there was a yield sign and yes I did do a full stop but if my memory serves me right, when I saw that there was no vehicle coming, I went ahead on my drive after a few seconds. AFAIR, ang sabi sa akin dapat huminto daw ako ng matagal kase YIELD. So thus my question to him: yield to what, eh go yung patungo sa LSGH? I would definitely yield kung parating na or go pa rin yun galing LSGH area eh since wala ngang parating at go yung kabila, I could not understand kung bakit ako yield ng matagal. Ang katwiran ko din eh bakit hinde nila pinara yung isang sasakyan (I think it was an Accord) na nauna sa akin.

Ah!!! I remember the reason now kung bakit di pinara: red plate daw kasi.

Anyway, 'yaw ko na pag-usapan yang MMDA traffic enforcers na yan he he he...masisira lang araw ko.

Pero I do acknowledge that hinde lahat ng MMDA traffic enforcers eh ogags at bastos - at saludo ako sa kanila.

dalawang beses na ako nasisita dyan sa area na yan. dalawang beses na rin akong nakipagtalo, and dalawang beses na rin akong nakalusot, dahil sobrang tricky naman talaga nung place na yun.

tama yung suggestion nila, turn right na at Poveda or at Mega.

If that's his understanding of Yield, it would've been interesting if you retaliated at his insult by asking what's the difference between left and right.

dapat dun ay bawala magsakay. Sa galleria area nalang dapat pwede magsakay ang mga bus. Sila ang nagpapatraffic which makes other vehicles swerve talaga to avoid them. Wala naman ginagawa yun mga MMDA

**skyglider** · September 21st, 2007 11:05 AM

napaaway na rin kami diyan before sa area na yan... nasigawan ko tuloy yung mga nakaposteng MMDA diyan... napakakulit ng mga bus diyan, ginagawang terminal yan...

dapat siguro mga pulis na ilagay diyan pero ayusin muna yung mga line na pwedeng pumasok at lumabas.

ang labo nga naman ng yellow lane jan at kung san san pa wherein bagong pinta ang guhit. lintek na mga yan, guguluhin tayo kung san papasok tapos huhulihin kahit anong move ang gawin mo. tsk tsk

kaya ako since then, sa likod nalang ako dumadaan - j. vargas ba yun?!
i would not take a chance to go to galleria through edsa, else ill take the right turn before mag-galle.

kapal ng muka nila manghuli ng private vehicles regarding yellow lane violation pero pag buses ang lumalabas and even using fly-overs/underpass where they should not be on, eh di nila pinapansin o hinahabol. it's really unfair. sa ganyan ako naiinis when im on edsa.

ingat nalang mga bro. if you think, you are really in the right position, eh dont hesitate to reason out. pero shempre at first talk to them in a diplomatic way. kung maangas talaga eh, takutan nalang.

i never liked MMDA guys

Nahuli na ako dito ARGH!! Pero nakalusot.

Sabi ng MMDA "Swerving kayo"

Sabi ko "Bawal sa Loob yellow lane d ba?"

Sabi niya "OO"

Sabi ko "anong violation?"

Sabi niya "swerving"

Sabi ko "Bawal sa Loob yellow lane d ba?"

Sabi niya "OO"

Sabi ko "Bawal sa Loob yellow lane d ba?"

Sabi niya "OO"

Sabi ko "anong violation?"

Sabi niya "swerving"

Sabi ko "Bawal sa Loob yellow lane d ba?"

Sabi niya "OO"

Sabi ko "anong violation?"

Sabi niya "swerving"

PAulit ulit kami, matagal talaga na paulit ulit

Hangang sinabi ko "KAyo may Problema"

Tapos pinaalis din kami.

Obvious talaga na cashcow nila iyann!!

Maging Matapang! Wag paloko sa area na iyan!!!
