Useless Stoplights

[FrankDrebin]

Sa A. Bonifacio QC (Northbound) after the old San Miguel(?) factory and C3 intersection, useless na ang stoplight na ito dahil yung street na perpendicular nito ay matagal ng ginawang one way. Ginagawang milking cow ng mga QC yellow boys.

useless stoplights also along Quezon Ave. due to the u-turns of mmda.

Useless ang stoplight sa minor roads sa sampaloc along dapitan, mayon, maceda etc dahil hindi sinusunod ng mga hinayupak na mga jeep at mga tricycle.

Useless yung mga walang sensor dahil kahit walang dumadaan stop pa rin. Dito sa US lahat halos may sensor sa ilalim ng asphalt kaya pag may sasakyan, they can sense it and will let them pass pag walang tumatawid.

Para sa pedestrian yung stoplight na yun.

The stoplights which were once for intersections that were since closed and replaced by U-turn slots are, to me, more dangerous. Vehicular traffic will most likely not slow down or stop since many know that the intersection has been closed to traffic. And with the pedestrian not having the right of way in the Philippines, many will go through such lights with more fear of being bumped from behind instead. Stoplights along c5 are like these. Other stoplights like on Quezon Ave are confusing. There is no intersection anymore, there is no provision for a pedestrian crossing, yet the stoplight still functions as if any of these two are still present.

To rid us of all the confusion, I would rather the cities make use of their stoplights - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some cities turn them off at night. Which to me, is more dangerous, since every one will now force on each other each one's right of way. And many night time drivers have less logic and reasoning skills at this time of the day. Now, these same cities should no longer make use of these stoplights if the intersection has been closed and replaced by U-turn slots. For pedestrian traffic, over/under passes should be built/used. If it cannot be helped, then clearer signages and stoplights specifically for pedestrian purposes should be used and enforced. Again, information dissemination and enforcement are key.

They're waste of electricity.

Wala yatang pedestrian lane doon M2.

Isa pang useless, sa Paco Train Station. Pedestrian lane stoplight pero walang pedestrians na tumatawid kasi matagal nang sarado ang train station na iyon.
