Fastest Route from BGC to Greenhills

[jut703]

I can't pass narrow streets Baka makasagi lang ako. I have really bad eyesight and the dark tint of my car makes it worse

Baka lumabas ako ng Antipolo sa pasikot sikot dyan haha

The narrow streets of Mandaluyong are pretty narrow. One time may nilikuan ako na side street to avoid the traffic of another side street, I had to fold my side mirrors or else tatamaan ko yung jeep na nakapark sa kanan at yung mga tumatagay sa tabi ng daan sa kaliwa. Times like these I'm thankful that Ford was thoughtful enough to give power-folding side mirrors on such a huge car.

Anyway, it's not that bad IMO. Longest travel ko pauwi from Makati to Shaw is 1 hr of EDSA traffic. Average is 45 minutes. Pag weekend, same route is 10-15 minutes.

From BGC to GH add about 15-30 minutes to those numbers.

I usually take 11th Ave, then turn right at Kalayaan.
From there, it's an ave. 10kph till you reach the C5/Kalayan intersection.
Then turn right and take the *($&%)$(*%&$()* elevated U-TURN slot. (BOTTLENECK!)
Once I clear the *$(&*($%&)($*^&%*()^&) elevated U-TURN slot, it's another bottleneck just until you clear the opposite U-TURN slot. From there, it's smooth driving (USUALLY...) until you get to Toyota Pasig. Before I get to Toyota Pasig, I bail out and take the UTURN slot and head to Lanuza.
Long story short, it usually takes me 20mins to get from BGC Net One center to that part of Ortigas with ETON Cyberpod.
Siguro additional 10mins to get from there to GH.
I usually start my drive at 630pm.

If you feel brave, you can shave a couple of minutes after you exit the UTURN ramp by taking the right most lane, then going through the service road. Tapos merge back to C5 after you clear the other UTURN slot from the service road.

EDSA ka na. New resto na naman ba yan?

Not so new. I thought of venturing outside Makati/Fort but it turned out to be a bad idea. Next time I will stick to my radius.

May nadaanan na ako na ganyan - Narrow street na double parking pa, one way pa! Pag may siraulo na nag counterflow, reverse lang talaga ang option

Yung mga taga North pala working in Makati, umaga pa lang, stress na sa traffic.

Iwana ko na na yung route na yan at baka mapa *($&%)$(*%&$()* din ako hehe

Hahahah!
Well... on average mga 10mins worth lang naman yung (*$&%($ na yon eh.

The main issue is getting out of BGC and Makati CBD and getting to cross the Pasig river. Whatever route you take, you're pretty much stuck. Your choice na lang on how you get stuck. Be it a slow crawling (edsa), stressful jostling for position (C5) or going through narrow roads.

Once you get to cross the Pasig river, it's almost always smooth driving (except for edsa, where you'll have to suffer a bit more until you get to the Ortigas flyover).

I left my car in BGC and I rode with my friend instead. He is good with navigation too and I just observed what route he will take He took the route below.

diretso ka lang ng 5th ave until nasa left mo na st. lukes and right ang S&R. tapos right ka sa pinakadulo. then left ka after Lexus. dirediretso na yan sa lawton (crossing kalayaan). tapos left ka sa JP Rizal. dirediretso lang then left ka na paakyat ng EDSA (clover leaf ng Guadalupe).

We left BGC at 7:00 pm and we got to Greenhills at 8:30. Wala naman nga traffic except for the intersection crossing Kalayaan. After that, it was moderate traffic na. Going home, we left at 10:55 and we were back in BGC around 11:15. What a difference in EDSA!

Yan ang best route, makisabay nalang. May libreng chauffeur pa.:D

Ha ha ha. Nahiya nga ko pauwi. I insisted on taking a cab kasi he lives North kaya malalagari pa siya going back to BGC. (Mahal pa naman ng gas ngayon) Wala kasi dumadaan cab masyado dun sa area, sabi ko drop off na lang kung saan may cab e dineretso niya sa BGC. Sobrang bait talaga niya

From bgc take c5 ( going to eastwood )then take a u turn slot then turn right going to valle verde and ultra then take ortigas extension going to edsa. Lagpas ka ng intersection ng edsa at las salle greenhills then turn right to conneticut st.

Not advisable during uwian. it took me 1 hour to get from Shell C5 (across McKinley Hill) to Kalayaan at 7PM a few weeks ago. Never again.

OT: not yet sir. Balitaan kita kung anong next sched ng punta namin don. Same location?

Nope, the old location/building was torn down. New location is further down the same road, after the intersection. Third (or fourth) house on the right side. Parking is a pain though.

I'll try getting a table there for Sunday dinner.

How's the parking in Unimart on a weekend? I need to drop off my Mom in Greenhills around 10:30. If parking is easy I might as well do a little grocery shopping.

[myas110]

kung galing ako ng BGC - Globe Tower at gusto kong bumalik ng Lawton Ave. heading towards JP Rizal St., saan ako dadaan? or preferred route?

I'm thinking of passing through 9th ave. para makarating ng Kalayaan Ave, then to Lawton Ave, then left to JP Rizal. tama ba ako?

Still moderate but much better if you arrive before 10am.

since walang nagadvise sa aking post kahapon, I just followed the google maps and waze on how to go to Makati-Manadaluyong bridge (via J.P. Rizal) from Globe Tower BGC.

dumaan ako sa 9th ave para makarating sa Kalayaan Ave. unfortunately, yung U-turn slot ay doon pa sa may C5. ang layo. nagtaka yung kasama ko na bakit ang layo ng inikutan namin, following Waze's advise.

any other alternative route na pwedeng daanan para makarating sa JP Rizal (without passing thru EDSA)?

diba if you take the next street, which is 8th ave northbound then past the kalayaan intersection, yun na yun? medyo malayo nga inikot mo kung napadpad ka pa ng C5. It's been a while since i passed the kalayaan-8th avenue intersection, pero i'd think hindi naman isasara yun.

pero pagdating naman sa 8th ave-kalayaan-Lawton Ave intersection (from 8th ave ako going to Lawton Ave then heading towards JP Rizal), left turn lang ang allowed. walang derecho papuntang Lawton Ave. even yung galing ng Lawton Ave na papuntang BGC, kakaliwa din ang mga sasakyan, at sa 9th Ave. ka liliko going to BGC.
