the volume of vehicles also make it very hard to enforce laws. if you put yourself in the shoes of the traffic enforcer -- who do you go after first? at any given second, 10 to 20 vehicles are violating road rules within eyesight. at a stoplight -- when MCs crowd the front of the queue and/or simply ignore the lights -- hirap mag focus kung sino unahin apprehend.

my take is we limit cars, MCs, buses altogether. painful -- but i think necessary. when there is a controlable number -- it would be much easier to enforce laws.
mc lanes are IMPOSSIBLE due to the traffic road system in place. ni hindi nga masagot paano papasok ng fly over ang motorcycle-- don't tell me that a motorcycle will HAVE to cross over 2 to 3 lanes of traffic from the designated motorcycle lane just to go up a fly over.

about apprehension.. it is better to DO apprehensions regardless of who goes first. if motorists know that enforcement is strictly (and fairly) implemented in an area, they follow the law. but if they know that the traffic enforcer is there simply for decoration purposes, who gives a d*mn about traffic rules?

there are plenty of rules and regulations but we have impotent traffic enforcers. worse is the lagay system (kotong).
