Terrible Tagaytay Traffic (summer weekends, esp holy week)

[jonski]

Galing lang kami kahapon sa Tagaytay and wala namang traffic sa Balibago-Tagaytay road. Wala bang naglilinis sa Picnic grove? Ang dumi.

i was caught in heavy traffic this last weekend in starosa tagaytay route took me 1 hour from rotonda (the one with 711 we came from the cliff) going left to SLEX where you can see the wet market on the left since its total stop and not moving. i made a U-turn
and went to picnic grove going to palace in the sky where i also saw the sign to SLEX..

so i tried it at 6:30pm amazing it took me 30mins to reach nuvali where the fish feeding area is...

so heres my assessment of that road

its totally scary and all going downhill as really downhill with overgrown grass on the roads its twisted no lights overlooking everything and cold. Not many cars passby as im totally king of the road there halfway tru you will encounter some rough road bout 100mtr or so a car can pass it just do it slowly.. 3/4 of the way saw some big empty mansions you might get lost abit but just folow the road to the right zigzag downlhill and at the very bottom or end
its either you turn left or right choose the one on the left going to nuvali.. you will reach a rotonda of nuvali 3rd corner is where i exited coz i know the first corner is going to ridgemont village i think or smthing and the next dunno and the third is a security post guard.. after this you wont get lost...

This sounds like a scene in a horror/thriller film.

Just to fill in some details.

At the bottom..if you turn right, you will head into Canlubang Golf and Country Club.

At the Nuvali Rotonda, the first right goes into another section of Nuvali where the Wakepark is and villages like Avida Settings and Ridgewood, and schools like Xavier and soon to be Miriam College.

The next right will eventually lead you to the Silangan or Canlubang SLEX Exits.

The third right will lead you into Nuvali Solenad 1 and 2 if you can get past the guards.

The trail looks interesting. Parang sarap mag adventure kaso I cant risk it since I am with my kids. Will use Sta. Rosa or Batino on my way back tomorrow.

Bikers call this the reverse Palace in the Sky route

another backroad option is by way of amadeo via manggahan in governor's drive. go left when it forks going to amadeo town proper. it'll take you to the tagaytay intesection that goes to the cityhall/mahogany market.

I always take this road going to tagaytay, provided its daylight. Kapag gabi sobrang ingat ang kailangan, lampara lang ng ibang bahay ang ilaw.

Isang lang dapat tandaan when going up to Tagaytay, and going down from Tagaytay. Go there BEFORE the malls along the road open. And go home AFTER the malls close. Lalo na if using Aguinaldo highway.

Sigurado wala traffic.

Talked a Highlands guard. Not in good condition pa daw. Dapat lagay nila na not passable sa small cars.

Haba ng pila ng pababa via sta rosa kanina around 7pm. Skyranch puno pa rin at around 9pm.

I asked about the Tagaytay to Nuvali/Canlubang road and its mostly okay. Theres a stretch that's rough but cars can take it slowly. We used to take that road many tears ago using the LC80, back then it was all rally-style graded dirt road.

[garci]

By the way, how's the crowd at Sky Ranch these past 2 days? Parang ayaw ko nang puntahan kung masikip at baka maipit lang ako sa traffic.

Doc, if hindi naman holiday, generally speaking ok naman ang tagaytay. May mga choke points lang like churches and peoples park. Punta ka sa skyranch hehe

Mas okay na ang pasikot-sikot kaysa dun sa biglang liko. :D

I guess nasanay din ako sa route na ito since this was the shortcut back before Sta. Rosa became paved. Dati, sobrang baku-bako yung Sta. Rosa road and the part where Nuvali is now, tambakan ng mga na-salvage.

Same route we take bro.... Maguyam Rd ito from Carmona to Silang.... Predictable traffic....

That's my daily route when i used to work in Dasma 2 years ago since palaging traffic at halos lahat ng pedestrian sa GMA ay may death wish.

Hindi lang advisable daanan at night dahil sobrang dilim at konti lang ang resedential area na madadaanan.

Kahit madaling araw o hatinggabi diyan ako dumaraan dati bro.... Uneventful....: grin:

Masarap kumain sa restaurant when you merge with Aguinaldo Hiway.... LSM.... Champs ang boneless bangus!!!

[vinj]

The last time i passed there it's well populated already... even back in the late 90s we'd pass that at night an may kasabay pa rin kami; that time it even had a one-way, wooden bridge.

It's the road that comes out at the corner before GMA with the Shell Station and where the Carmona Circuit was AFAIK. When on Aguinaldo coming from Tagaytay, you turn right to a side street after passing Riviera, pass the Silang cemetery, turn left then turn right tapos deretso na all the way.

Bro- You certainly are familiar with it like the back of your hand...

Suggest to visit the area during the afternoon of Good Friday...

There are some folks testing their "galing"

Guards in Nuvali normally don't allow vehicles without Ayala sticker to pass through going to Solenad then SLEX. They advise them to take Silangan or Canlubang exit.
