Its not what they can do for us but, what we can you do for us

[MaxAJ]

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

[ghosthunter]

To the leaders in our government...



Moderate your greed.

+ 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

Mukhang wala nang magagawa para sa mga pulis, they're already set on their old, erroneous ways so I suggest starting with the newer batch of enforcers, kahit na traffic enforcers lang ng barangay or MMDA: make sure they know all the more common traffice laws and regulations.

Dapat ang trafic police or mmda, katulad nung araw, kahit motor pag nag counter flow huhulihin, pag pinahinto at hindi dumunod huhulihin. Any changes in traffic rules should be posted at lahat ng enforcers may book or guideliness para transparent sa hinuhuli. Tapos kapag police or mmda ang gumawa ng kalokohan dapat doble parusa.

They also should've implemented that National ID idea awhile back-so that traffic enforcers can now give tickets to those stupid jaywalkers.

I agree with this haha

[gongrhey]

install traffic signs indicating that there is a U-turn slot ahead, para hindi tayo nagugulat sa mga u-turn slot na to. at hindi nahuhuli ng swerving.

use reflectorized traffic paint for the traffic signs, lalo na ito sa mga concrete barriers para hindi nasasagasaan at nakaka-bulaga sa gabi.

implement designated loading and unloading zone for each PUV route by educating the PUV drivers and the riding public. para hindi bawat kanto titigil ang PUV para mag-pick-up ng pasahero. halimbawa sa byaheng cubao to vito cruz na jeep, maraming ruta dyan, merong hanggang quiapo lang, kalaw/taft, mabini v. cruz etc, dapat may designated loading and unloading zone para sa particular route na duon lang sila pwedeng tumigil.

Isama mo na rin dito ang mga naka-motorsiklo. Talamak na hindi sila sumusunod sa traffic light dito sa SouthMM.....(Naka-counterflow pa!)

*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

[seonadancing]

Wala ng pag-asa ito, hangang wish na lang tayo. Dapat reset lahat, meaning mawala lahat ng policemen and public transportation drivers tapos yun mga bagong kukunin eh bibigyan ng magandang training, na may certification, tapos magandang sweldo. Kung taxes ko ang ginagamit pambayad sa mga ito, dapat may option ako di bayaran sweldo nila kung not within quality sila, puro lemon e!!!

[vito corleone]

-fire at once all the policemen and traffic enforcers who are caught getting involved in a kotong operation. . .tingnan natin ang mga susunod na officers kung gagayahin pa nila yan and do the same. . .and kapag ang mga motorista e napansin na hindi na pwede ang lagay-lagay, magtitino na rin sila sa pagda-drive

-apprehend those vehicle who deliberately conceal either partially using jdm bumpers, screen plate protectors, etc, or fully using commemmorative/profession plates (who the hell cares if you are a lawyer or a prosecutor. . .also those pma and pnpa plates). . .and not to mention those new vehicleswhose plates are yet to be released. . .no plate, no travel, period.

-some of the u-turn slots create more congestions; use traffic light instead

-presidente lang ang me wangwang. . .gov't personnel and vehicles should not be exempted from traffic laws. . .only emergency vehicles such as ambulances, firetrucks, and policecars in pursuit should be allowed to use wangwangs. . .yang si bayani napakahipokrito nyan. . ."batas batas" sya sa tv infomercial nya pero nakita ko nang nag-counterflow yan once sa c5 and once sa boni serrano and once going through the red light sa katipunan as if napakaimportanteng tao, e pauwi na naman sya sa marikina nun (gabi na)

-absolutely no tricycles along major roads. . .delikado and they slow down the traffic flow

-yup, remove the concrete barriers that endanger motorists along edsa and other major roads

[OldSchoolHack]

Ask for traffic lights in major roads to have countdown lights. Yung tipong nagbibilang ilang seconds pa ang stop or go. Very useful IMO.

Stop the commission basis income for bus drivers. Or if that is not workable, then give stiff penalties to public bus drivers who are in an accident. Tipong pag private vehicle penalize mo P2,000. Pag bus driver penalize mo ng P5,000.

Lastly outsource the means of conducting drivers test para hindi ma-undermine sa LTO. Something na recognized and accredited na testing institution na parang PRC.
