Blocking the Pedestrian Lane

[ice15]

What every Filipino driver should know | Autodeal

cars blocking pedestrian lanes are violating Land Transportation and Traffic Code Article IV, Turning and Parking, Section 46 (b). It states that “no driver shall park a vehicle, or permit it to stand, whether attended or unattended, on a crosswalk a.k.a. pedestrian lane”.

May times na guilty din ako dito... my reason, I was driving slow and biglang nag-yellow yung traffic light. Do I stop? or step on the gas?

Since I chose to stop, nasa ibabaw ako ng pedestrian lane.

It also happened to me yesterday on my motorcycle.

Kaya it made me wonder... dapat ba ituloy ko na lang and harangan ko yung intersection

Baka ito mangyari if you block the pdestrian lane hehe.

parang yellow line siguro.
if the yellow light catches you on the ped xing, ituloy mo na siguro.
that's what the TE told me.
"kapag nag yellow at nakatapak na kayo sa yellow line, i-tuloy na ninyo."

come to think of it, there's no such violation as "beating the yellow light".

pag nagslowdown ka naman para hindi ka abutan ng paghinto sa pedestrian lane me bubusina sa likod mo.
sabay pasok nung jeep na ke tagal tagal naghihintay ng pasahero.

actually, ito ginagawa ko nung may NCAP.

Hindi ba sa paranaque, especially sa sucat ave, strict Ang mga traffic enforcers sa ganyan? It's either na sitahin ka or may notice na Lang daw matatanggap sa Bahay niyo stating your violation na kadalasan iyong "overstepping" the ped line caught via their street CCTVs.

I think what Doc is referring to is the “Yellow Box” in the intersection you’re supposed to keep clear. Pag nag yellow na dun, tuloy mo na nga. I’d drive with a sense of urgency, but I wouldn’t speed up too much. Why kamo?

----> Because iba na panahon ngayon:

• There are idi*ts (2, or 4 wheel) who jackrabbit start the moment the light turns green for them and you can get “T-boned” (i.e. 90 degree collision smack in the middle of the left or right side of the car). Mentality kasi ng iba, drag racing christmas tree yung stoplight.

• Maraming 2 wheels na mahilig din mag counterflow, so pag turn mo from an intersection, head on collision ka with a motorcyclist illegally counterflowing. Kung hindi naman moving yung motor, naka harang/counterflow dun sa lane ninyo while waiting for their light to turn green, imbes na pumila ng maayos behind other vehicles in the proper lane.

Hindi ka pa rin nakakasigurado, but mas may chance kang makaiwas/hinto or take whatever evasive action that way.

I would stop too. Sometimes the pedestrian lines are so faded, the edge can’t be seen so ang labas “stepping” (basketball term) ka na pala. And as usual, exploited ito ng mga enforcers/LTO to generate $$$.

One other thing, even if you stop before the pedestrian lane, the 2 wheelers will go around you and occupy the empty space (pedestrian lane). Eh basta sila yung ugok, hindi ako.

Hindi ako nagpapadala sa mga ganyan. Pag nabangga ka naman or nahuli etc., wala naman paki sa iyo yan. The only thought in their childish minds is “You’re getting in my way!” without assessing the road conditions or any potential dangers around. Ang busina, warning device lang, hindi para magdabog na parang bata because things aren’t to your liking.

Ano ba gawain ng mga spoiled na 2-4 yrs old pag hindi mo pinayagan, pagbigyan o hindi makuha ang gusto nila? Di ba naghihiyaw, sigaw (ear piercing shriek) or nagwawala? Sadly, ganyan din asta ng mga ibang supposedly adult (?) drivers on the road. Busina, high beam at road rage nga lang gamit.

i was once accosted.
i challenged, "sir, that line you allude to, is so faded, it's hardly noticeable."
he let me go.

if those lines are so faded from ageing, as to be difficult to discern, or na-kublihan na nang bagong aspalto,
kasalanan na nang gubyerno yan.
