ARTICLE: Should the expressways’ speed limit be increased?

[renzo_d10]

Nope, not strict!

Basta may plaka at mga ilaw lusot mga yan. Hindi naman ganun kahigpit sa e-way. Speed limit nga e hindi maipatupad ng even 60% of the time e paano pa yung ibang rules!?

In general, ok lang 100kph. Pero sa mga car na 3yrs old & below, boring yan. Sa national road nga na very light ang traffic kaya ang 140kph, expressway pa kaya na multi-lane!

Definitely. Sa EDSA you can actually do a short burst to 120kph especially dun sa patungong North.. sa Commonwealth din, actually.. kung wala lang talaga mga pasaway.

There lies the problem. How many cases of trucks and buses losing brakes do we read on the news? Why do cars weave in and out dangerously at times? It's because traffic flow is hampered by slow moving vehicles, on the wrong lanes (which is the so-called speed differential Niky pointed at just as well).

We have two old cars in the garage, a 19 year old Sentra and 18 year old Galant and both can still be driven on the highway and on long trips with no worries, anytime as they're maintained properly. The Sentra feels light at speeds over 100kph but nevertheless, it's still stable while the Galant can still do 200kph runs with no drama (shameless plug: Galant for sale).

Anyway, tingnan natin kung may magagawa ang article na ito at yung mga may impluwensya sa gobyerno.

And this is another problem that are taken for granted, mas nauna pang naging hot issue ang overspeeding kesa dito!

Uu nga dapat maging strict sila sa mga G*G*NG driver na ang takbo eh 80kph pero nasa overtaking lane...Buti pa yung mga PUBLIC JEEPS eh marunong sumunod at nasa cruising lane lang sila. Akala ko yung mga driver ng JEEP ang mga pinaka-T*NG* magmaneho sa SLEX eh hindi pala...nagkamali ako ng akala noong una...

Bakit ba kasi ang daming hindi nakakaintindi sa overtaking lane???

120kph maximum speed sana ma approve. 100kph kasi pakiramdam ko ang bagal. Yung nag bababad sa overtake lane, they lucky enough hindi sila nahuhuli. Minsan nakaka inis din kahit ilawan mo o businahan ayaw tumabi, eh ang bagal ng takbo * wala namang inu overtakekan.

Sana kung ganyan lang eh, kaya lang when you flash at them at ayaw tumabi, papakyuhin ka pa when you pass them....

Some people are just plain idiots. Poor world.

hirap umovertake kapag nasa overtaking lane ka at 100kmh and ung nasa fast lane ay 100kmh din.
