    Mga bro anong mas advisable na route kung papuntang ilocos via sctex, luisita exit or sa Lapaz exit?

    in terms of mileage, safety, time and ease of driving.

    BTW mga Hapon(3pm) or Madaling araw ang biyahe(1am) namin.

    TIA!!

    potskie san po ang point of take off nyo? kasi kung 1am ang biyahe nyo and galing lang naman kayo sa metro manila, okei lang na wag na kayo mag sctex. pero kung 3pm ang take off nyo, maglapaz na kayo para lampas na kayo sa traffic sa tarlac city. san po sa ilokos ang punta nyo?

    I second the motion, Luisita Exit if you're running at 1am. If you're going during daytime, espcially during the rush hours (morning, noon and late afternoon to early evening), take the La Paz exit then take the back roads all the way to Pangasinan.

    If you're talking about the shortest route in terms of distance mileage, it would still be the old highway after exiting NLEX but the stress is higher as you have to pass and avoid a lot of slow vehicles and pedestrians.

    Take off from QC kami papuntang santa cruz ilocos sur.


    Yung iniiwasan ko lang kasi is yung mga slow vehicles, delikado kasi.


    Kung sa luisita exit dadaan pa ng Tarlac city yun di ba?

    Kung sa La Paz kapag madaling araw ba wala na gaanong slow vehicles? Saan pala ako kakanan papuntang McArthur (Tarlac ByPass), Ano palatandaan?

    If you take the Luisita exit, you'll still pass through Tarlac City but traffic will be very light if you're passing through late at night or early in the AM. This route is shorter then going to La Paz then heading back to McARthur Highway.

    If you take La Paz, just turn left after exiting the SCTEX then follow the road; the signs will lead you back to McArthur Highway.

    If you're travelling at night, stick to SCTEX and McArthur highway only (for security reasons).

    Luisita exit - better, safer and less expensive toll.

    I think south bound na mga bakasyunista and ikaw pa North bound,
    expect mo marami mga stop * go sa mga road repair dami nyan lalo na sa Ilocos Norte.

Ilocos via SCTEX Luisita or Lapaz Exit?
