LTO Vehicle Speed Limits - EDSA max speed limit 40 km/h for cars [merged threads]

If the MMDA doesn't like it, they won't... the LTO doesn't have their own enforcement arm, anyway... and the city enforcers (MAPSA et al) don't guard EDSA itself.

40-50 km/h is a proper speed limit for city roads with stoplights every block and large pedestrian traffic. But EDSA is a highway. A thoroughfare with over-passes and under-passes built for express travel from one part of the metro to the other. No stoplights... no legal street-level pedestrian crossings... so the speed limit should actually revert to the regular national highway limit of 80 km/h, as defined in the LTO guidelines.

Consider... EDSA is not under the jurisdiction of a single city... so it's patently not a city street.

Somebody's got their street classification mixed way up.

ang gulo talaga, may 40km/h, may 80km/h at may run as fast as you can

pero siguradong wala pang nahuhuli na overspeeding dito sa M. Manila

sows kahit ano pa speed limit i-implement nila walan naman speed radar mga officers so paano nila malalaman kung ano exact speed nung mga sasakyan.

NLEX has radar based speed detectors to catch cars going over the 100kph posted speed limit.

Actually you can "safely" go up to almost 120kph before they tag your car for speeding.
