Kennon Road and Big Trucks

[Hanren]

Those who are going up Baguio think that Kennon is the shortest route to this montain city.

fortunately, it is (with paved roads and what have you) ..

Unfortunately, Big trucks are the number one users of the road..kawawa naman Kennon..kawawang mga motorista na gumagamit ng daan. They are at the mercy of these trucks (sinusundan mo habang paakyat ka).. I myself experienced this last week..

then another collegue came forward with horror stories of those big trucks..

When will we ever learn to enforce laws in this land!??

sorry po..nadoble ata yung post ng bagong thread...didn't mean to do that..sensya na po...

Bro, that's mainly the reason why I use the Marcos Highway in our bi-annual trek to Baguio even if it means an additional of 30minutes in our travel time....

:starwars:

I thought trucks and buses are prohibited from using Kennon Road.

[Hanren]

I think they are banned but aside from trucks, minibuses also abound..

They contribute to the gradual degradation of the road. I don't know if Baguio visitors would be please to be following them.

They are supposed to use Marcos Highway which is fitted for them.

If ever ma encounter niyo sila sa kennon, sakit talaga ng ulo lalo na pag ayaw pa magpa overtake. At sa kipot pa ng daan, suicide minsan ang mag overtake lalo na sa mga blind curves. The thing is, sa kennon mismo may dalawang police outposts (Camp 7 and Camp8). Ano kaya ginagawa nila? *taka*

yup kami rin pag andyan marcos high way palagi and daan namin..

Kaya nagka-leche leche ang road condition ng Kennon, dahil sa pinayagan na mga trucks (mga nagbibigay ang owners n'yan)

Kaya nga may cash-este, checkpoint, hehe.

Hanren, ingat na lang when driving. When others tailgate or egg you to overtake (when you're not ready), just slow down and increase the gap with the vehicle infront ... let those behind you take the risk.

Tama si diesoline na may mga lugar sa kennon na kahit blind curve, pwedeng mag-overtake, kahit daytime (mas madali kapag gabi). Pero kung hindi mo kabisado Kennon, huwag.

Kapag umuulan, iwas din ako sa Kennon Road ... yun ang panahon na marami talagang nahuhulog na mga bato. Kung galing ka ng Baguio, more or less tantya mo kung umulan sa Kennon. Kung paakyat naman, tanong muna sa friendly tsikoteer na si amboy (may gasoline station sa Rosario) kung umulan lately

Thanks for that advise. Minsan nga naabutan kami ng ulan sa kennon..hindi namana kalakasan pero napansin ko halos maghabulan na ang mga sasakyan..siguro natatakot din na baka maghulugan mga bato..

I didn't know there is a gasoline station in Rosario..baka yung sa Damortis na Petron..malapit sa bilihan ng murang daing
