Ano masasabi nyo sa proposed Zipper Lane on EDSA?

[donbuggy]

They should address the choke points -- which would be when that counterflow lane 'zips' back into the regular lanes.

Another bottleneck. The zipper lane merging with the main road will only slow down the vehicles in the main road. Bad idea.

Can't our Gingineers think of a better solution to the traffic problem?

remove 50% of the buses from EDSA.

Too bad i can only like the post once. :D

[jansky]

or better mga stasyong ng mga bus sa iisang lugar na lang

like lahat ng bus papunta ng north iisang station
and lahat ng bus papunta ng south eh sa may Pasay station naman

[Densker]

Gawing 2 days na ang number coding! :thankyou:

[Retz]

patay tayo dyan sir. dalawang coding car na ang kailanganin knug ganon.

If the government is really noticing the traffic in Edsa now, they should have at least some plans on improving all our infrastructures. Might as well do something with the volume of cars in the country like discarding the very old ones.

[Ry_Tower]

Bad move because it does not solve the 2 main problem. Too much vehicles, too little road and undisciplined majority of drivers. Buti mga taga-tsikot good boys and gals.

[cast_no_shadow]

sabi nga lagyan ng toll ang EDSA.

pag peak hours mas mataas ang bayad.

for sure mabawasan volume niyan.

about the buses, scrap all the franchise.

tapos apply ulit mga bus company,

aralin yun bilang ng units for every company for every route.

para hindi madaming bus companies na nag ooperate sa same route.

put a stricter standard para yun mga bulok hindi na pumasa.

Sa tsikot lang mababait... pero pag nasa kalye na... :asta:

IMO, mas maganda siguro kung gov't controlled nalang ang bus routes.

Sa Ayala mapapansin mo na sumusunod ung mga bus sa tamang lugar ng babaan at sakayan, pero once pumasok na ang bus sa EDSA, wala ng disiplina.

same with the TE's, color blind na din at green plate lang ang nakikita na gumagawa ng violation.

Dapat ung MMDA ay meron direct link dito sa TSIKOT forum, para makakuha sila ng good suggestions.

1. Un mga Gingineers dapat pag rush hour ay asa road para makita nila first hand ung cause ng traffic, malamang karamihan sa mga yan umiiwas din sumabay sa rush hour kaya hindi talaga nila malaman kung bakit traffic.

Strikto kasi sa implementation ng batas.

A few times sumakay nako sa Ayala ng bus, pag dumadating yung bus sa unloading, at may sasakay, sisigawan nila na bawal po, kahit naka akyat na pababain pa din. Takot mahuli eh.

another "BRIGHT" idea from our "BRIGHT" Chairman of the MMDA. This will not work. they will just waste a lot of money, energy and patience form the motorists. there are lotsa brilliant ideas from our tsikoteers on how to address the traffic problems in EDSA pero etong si BRIGHT Chairman ay sarado ang isip at tenga kaya walang nangyayari. ITS ALL ABOUT THE BUSES, STU*#D! I ply EDSA 2x everyday from East Ave to Ayala Ave and it's all about the BUSES and the Bus Stops!

[b2r1y]

Oo andameng bus. Yun lang talaga problema. Pero pag nakita mo mga bus sa Edsa madalas walang mga sakay. Kaya sila bumabad sa mga stops para maka haul ng passengers and in turn causing traffic.

OT per yun pa isang BRIGHT IDEA ni Chairman about the flooding in Espana. Have a satellite office there and give the students immediate help kapag baha. Instead of looking for solutions to solve the flooding. BRIGHT, really BRIGHT Chairman.

The Return of the Zipper Lane...

Published January 17, 2017, 9:01 PM

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority will bring back the opening of a special “zipper lane” or an experimental traffic scheme for a counterflow lane along a portion of EDSA southbound to help ease morning rush traffic along the busy thoroughfare.


The 2.5-kilometer zipper lane will be implemented from Cubao-Main Avenue, Quezon City to Ortigas Flyover in Mandaluyong City northbound area to give way to vehicles going southbound from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

MMDA officer-in-charge Tim Orbos said a dry run of the scheme will take place on Friday, January 20, to guide the motorists before full implementation on Monday, January 23.

“We have looked into this and we found out that the traffic in opposite direction (northbound) is not as heavy on those times,” Orbos told members of the media during a press briefing.

Orbos said the scheme is expected to reduce motorists’ travel time by 20 minutes. “Based on our observation, volume of vehicles on northbound is less by 9:30 a.m. while lanes going Makati area is heavy.”

Orbos said the agency will deploy at least 30 traffic personnel during the implementation of the single zipper lane that would accommodate 2,400 vehicles. Traffic cones will also be placed to guide motorists.

He said the implementation of the zipper lane in this portion of EDSA will bypass the traffic snarls on Santolan and Connecticut, which usually result in crisscrossing and traffic gridlock that affect vehicles turning left to Ortigas and Meralco avenues and those going to Makati.

The MMDA official said the U-turn slot in the middle of EDSA in front of Camp Crame, Santolan and flyover ramp from EDSA to Ortigas Avenue to Greenhills will be closed to traffic and would be diverted to the right side service roads in the area, benefiting Makati-bound vehicles.

Along with the zipper lane enforcement, the MMDA will also reinforce clearing of traffic obstructions and towing, especially of illegally parked vehicles along the Mabuhay Lanes, the designated alternates to EDSA. Orbos said former Batangas vice governor Mark Leviste will help talk with barangay officials in clearing the Mabuhay Lanes.

“We will have more enforcement, we have to make sure that our Mabuhay Lanes will be clear… kasama po diyan ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga barangay officials.”

The MMDA had previously implemented zipper lanes in different parts of EDSA in the past years since 2013, especially to alleviate the congestion during the Yuletide season.
