Source of Traffic in C5 - whose guilty

[japeeps]

Everyday scenario in C5 flyover to makati...

Trucks, Private Vehicle, Taxi, Luxury Cars (lalo na!!!), UV express

it is their habit na mag merge left to inner lanes dedicated para sa papasok sa flyover... IGNORING THE YELLOW LANE
Usually ginagawa nila to para mas madali sila makapasok sa flyover since yung outer lane eh mas mabilis kesa sa lane papasok sa flyover.
Ignoring those cars na NAGIGITGIT para lang sa sarili nilang GINHAWA...

[jresperanza]

illegal merging ignoring the yellow lane ang guilty dito...

basta may merging may heavy traffic!!! hopeless na ito unless may maparusahan talaga

Trucks driven away from edsa.

Pag diyaan route ko hindi na ako pumipila sa bridge lalo na sa umaga. Dun ako lagi sa rightmost lane tas sa ilalim daan ko.

Palamuti lang ang mga traffic enforcer dyan, nakapila lang sa gitna, dapat pinapaderetso nila yung nanggagaling sa kanan at huwag payagang mag merge sa kaliwa.

You have to analyze rin why do other cars and trucks do that. If all keep into two lanes only, that line will reach lagpas UP. Even if they squeeze in at the foot of the flyover or a kilometer away, the cause of the slow traffic are the trucks that are managing to climb the flyover at a very slow pace. I'm not sure if letting the trucks go under would alleviate the traffic because they are just too many of them.

actually, if we will try to ponder deeper on that, it is poor engineering design. in short, ang mga gumawa ng mga fly-over sa atin, di nag iisip. puro short term solutions. we all know tokyo has more people, more cars with the same space as the NCR. but we can't see bad traffic condition like ours. isa pa, failure din tayo sa enforcement at education ng motorist. all we can do is to grin and bear it. ang motto ng drivers sa NCR, ang mainis, talo.

Ponder deeper ka pa dyan, layo naman ng comparison mo. Mas madami sa Tokyo na trains ang gamit or bicycles. ang Car registration dun is very expensive so youll have second thoughts in getting one.

Actually, the C5 Bagong Ilog flyover is at least one lane short to handle road traffic capacity. Add to that the slow movement of vehicles after it as cars approach the Bayani U-turn flyovers and Fort exit. I actually go straight under that flyover at times... okay din naman and a little traffic management and directing vehicles under can actually help improve traffic flow IMO..

On EDSA - Shaw, notorious sa pag cut and merge ng walang pakialaman from the rightmost lane to the underpass are the GTEx vans usually... along with private cars and a handful of buses. Inutil ang MMDA to do anything about it (source of traffic is usually the Boni Ave area where buses clog the road). Again, if they can keep buses on the first two lanes of EDSA - Shaw ibabaw, excess vehicles can actually take ibabaw to go straight even during rush hours.

Sa Pasig proper ako nanggagaling sa umaga so I merge onto C5 just before the Pasig river bridge. Agree with sir Vinj, traffic backs up kilometers before C5 Bagong Ilog because of the narrow approach to the Elevated U-turns and the Fort exit. To add, masikip for 4 lanes yung bridge and yung inner 2 lanes magme-merge into one.

In the evening, opposite direction naman yung perwisyo dyan. Sumisingit at the last minute ang mga GT Express and Taxis (even private vehicles!) sa single lane pababa ng Bagong Ilog kaya nahaharangan yung paakyat ng flyover.

walang pwede i justify dito... actually pag may nanghuhuli dyan.. mabilis ang takbo ng sasakyan jan ako dumadaan arawaraw..
pag traffic usually kase daming walang pakiramdam na sumisingit sa yellow lane...

di sya hahaba.. kase ung traffic nasa baba lang flyover pag akyat bumibilis... kung walang sisingit hindi ma congest yung paanan ng flyover... eh di tuloy tuloy ang takbo... kaya nga may yellow lane eh para ma distribute ung merging kesa naman imerge mo lahat sa paanan ng flyover...

Hahaba rin yan dahil sa volume. Daming sasakyan eh. Obviously pag umaakyat, bibilis yan kasi wala ng merging traffic. Pero yun bilis nya is not enough to alleviate the flow of traffic, lalu na kung truck na mabigat ang karga. If the yellow lane is followed and it is only 1km long, merging will happen before the 1km mark. So ganoon rin. It should have been a 3 lane flyover to begin with.

but why is it pag may naghuhuli maayos ang takbo... and I notice na kanya kanya silang singit pero not in the same place... kung may 1km stretch ng jagged line distributed yung merging... lalo na pag malayo pa lang natanaw na nila ung enforcer...

kesa naman na mag umpukan sila sa paanan ng flyover di ba... lalong congested... before I posted this I observe this for 2-3 mos.. not to mention I take this route everyday... logic lang yan... mahaba pero di hamak na mas mabilis ang andar or maikli nga pero embudo naman... not to mention the accident at gitgitan...

[japeeps]

Humaba man o hinde... di naman siguro masakit na sumunod sa traffic...
eh merun nga pumipila ng maayos eh... bakit nasisikmura ng iba la lagpasan yung mga nasa ayos na pila para lang mauna... or MANLAMAN ng KAPWA

[leenamnam]

Ang nagpapatraffic sa mga ganyang lugar ay yung bridges na 2 lanes lang NB and SB. c5 is 3-4 lanes then before mag bridge e dun lang nagkaka traffic congestion dahil nga sa 2 lanes lang ang karamihan ng tulay. So ang resulta, swerve dito, swerve duon bago umakyat sa bridge.

Yea, pag tuunan sana nila ng pansin ang mga tulay sa lansangan ng metro manila. Napag-iiwanan na ng panahon lalo na yung mga 2 lanes fly-over with matching yung divider na bakal na madulas, specifically along magallanes na delikado hindi lang sa cages, kundi lalong lalo na sa motorcyle riders pag maulan o nabasa yung mga yun.

[A121]

^^ true! really poor design that promotes motorists to be undisciplined.

you are either given a choice na pumila at malate vs. sumingit at hindi malate.

[japeeps]

update: kanina for some reason walang nag huhuli... pero distributed yung merging ng sasakyan before the flyover

result: walang traffic.. pero same lang ang speed ng sasakyan sa itaas ng flyover 30-40kph parehas lang kahapon pero sobrang traffic kase daming sumisingit..

lesson: if only people learn to think others rather than their own stupid reason of being late.. maganda sana... rather magturo kung sino at ano ang mali.. bakit di umpisahan ang tama sa sarili...

may isa palang makapal ang mukha towtruck ng mmda.. sya lang yung sumingit nung dumaan ako

Source of traffic sa C5 mga ASBU.

Pati sa EDSA source of traffic din yan. Cubao, Shaw, Santolan flyover, etc., mga sisingit pag malapit na sa flyover lalo na mga bus.
