NLEX, SCTEX, Over-Speeding, Speed-Radar [MERGED Threads]

[mazdamazda]

The MNTC has started to apprehend motorists violating the 100kph maximum speed limit on the closed-system portion of the NLEX.

They would apprehend the said motorist upon approaching the Bocaue tollplaza (going to Manila).

This cannot still be implemented in the open-system portion since there exits of the said portion doesn't have a toll gate.

How do they do this? There are imbedded and fixed speed traps along the stretch of the NLEX. Once you "trigger" the said traps, a camera (placed around 40 ft overhead) will take your license plate numbers.

Nice. I hope that they also implement the "leftmost lane for overtaking only" rule.

Nice. I hope that they also implement the "leftmost lane for overtaking only" rule.

that would be good, since there are fellow motorists who love to hug the overtaking lane, as if they are the only traveler on the road.!

Sunod na lang tayo sa tamang speed sa nlex sctex guys, di yung kinakabisado saan yung mga "radar" na yan. Para safe sa kalsada and makakauwi ng maayos.

Been there done that, drive an FD at 200kph years back, huli then tutubusin mo sa lto e. ave. Sobra hassle, never again. Now 90kph ok na ako , cruising with spotify.

Mga sir may leeway din ba na binibigay sa SLEX and STAR Toll for speeding kagaya ng sa NLEX and SCTEX na pwede hanggang 120?

[mbt]

solution: drive at 200 kph so that all that will register in the camera would be a blur. bwahahahahaa (just kidding)

nahuli ka mazdamazda ano? hehehe

[mazdamazda]

nahuli ka mazdamazda ano? hehehe

di naman... nasa open-system portion naman ako lagi (balintawak to bocaue). so medyo safe pa ako. hehe.

got that info from an officemate (who travels pampangga to manila daily).

btw, I've already memorized the locations of all speedtraps within the open-system. what I usually do is to slow down before the speed trap then accelerate again afterwards. the portion of the speedtrap has a horizontal tar strip across it. then there's the 40-ft camera tower (and even a power room) in the shoulder portion.

the 100kph speed limit is such a bore (especially on long drives). I agree with kulit, it should be around 120-140kph.

[kulit]

Hahaha. gusto ko yung solution ni sir mbt. Sana naman taasan nila kahit konti yung maximum speed limit. 120-140 kph man lang sana. Mazdamazda, thanks for the warning. Mahilig pa naman ako mag speed sa NLEX.

[yebo]

boring nga 100kph, dapat taasan nila kahit na 120kph man lang.

so pag nahuli ka ano gagawin? multa? how much? if you get caught in more than 1 speed trap does that mean you pay more? or pareho din ang penalty?

dapat they should also penalize those that drive at less than 99kph para aat least kahit na 100kph lang takbo e wala ka na need mag-overtake!

[odell]

san ba ung mga part na may speed traps?

[boybi]

FINALLY!

before MNTC took over the operations of NLEX, i was always cruising at 150-160kph. since february, 100-110kph nalang ako because i thought implemented na agad ang speed limit. kating kati na kasi ang paa ko to step more on the accelerator because ang daming nagoovertake sa akin now that they're finally put their speed traps in place and in operation, mas mapipigilan na akong mag speeding

don't know if it's true, 2.5K daw ang penalty for overspeeding.

It's 500 something lang naman but it goes with a seminar. sa seminar, nandun ang mga racket

ammpp!! di talaga mawala sa isip nila ang delihensya! pati pen dapat "official" pen ang gagamitin? what's the difference? hanglupit talaga!!

[Pajoz]

dapat nga at least 120kph.. at the same time yung mga less than 80kph na nasa fast lane na ayaw tumabi kahit anong pass light mo, makunan din ng camera(hehe). Kapag na-overtake-an mo sila galit pa.

[niwde11]

Oo nga M2. Last friday galing ako San Fernando, Pampanga, pagdating sa bocaue tollgate(last toll ng Closed-system) pinahinto yung adventure sa tabi kong tollgate tapos yung nasa harap ng toll yung lalaking taga mntc me hawak na papel(i presume listahan ng plate number) at pinatabi. kala ko kung ano na yun.

[muffer]

Oks nga yan, dapat lng! Dami aksidente dahil lng sa kagagawan lng ng mga asal hayop sa manubela, especially overtaking sa shoulder, one time na cut narin ako, galing sya sa shoulder kasama ko lng pamilya ko, if not, na tinggaan ko sana sa ulo o pinaputukan ko sana gulong nya, bwakang........nya!
Kung gusto nyo subukan POWER ng auto nyo at GALING nyo sa driving, NLEX and SLEX is not the right place, do it at the race track. Dami inusente madadamay lalo na mga kids , usually sleeping during the journey. Putukan ka lng ng gulong at 120kph, ewan ko kung di lahat ng Santo tawagin mo, o makuha mo pa kayang magdasal.

Two types lng naman ang driver. si MAGALING at si MARUNONG
Si MAGALING magpasikat, di bale ng makaperwisyo ng kapwa, masabi lng nya sa sarili nya na napakagaling nya. in short MAYABANG sa manubela

Si MARUNONG may pinag-aralan man o wala, nag-iisip sya sa bawat move at desisyon nya, at marunong gumalang/respeto sa kapwa nya driver, mga tao sa kalye at sa mga batas trapiko.

Ok lang sa akin ang 100KPH max as long as:

1.) Buses and trucks are all in 1 lane lang.
2.) Motorcycles are all in 1 lange lang.
3.) Absolutely, lahat ng mga mag-exceed ng max speed eh huli agad.
4.) Enforced din ang minimum speed limit.

just my two cents

[ghosthunter]

It seems STAR TOLLWAY has acquired some speed guns.

Can anyone verify this piece of info and what kind of speed guns they are using? (radar or laser)

[ghosthunter]

I found this piece of news... and it might be bad news for the common motorists because it seems they are using LASER speed guns.

STAR Speed Limit Strictly Enforced
Published: March 8, 2013



Speedsters driving on the 42-kilometer Southern Tagalog arterial road (STAR) expressway from Sto. Tomas to Batangas City have something to worry about as the Star Tollway Corp. (STC), operator of the said expressway, is now equipped with laser speed guns which make it easier to spot over-speeding vehicles.

The STC traffic safety team now apprehends drivers who violate the speed limit rule to ensure not only the safety of other motorists but also their own safety.

The STAR prescribed speed limits are similar to Skyway System and South Luzon Expressway: 60 KPH Minimum speed for all types or classes of vehicles; 80 KPH Maximum speed for trucks and buses; and 100 KPH Maximum speed for Class 1 vehicles (cars, jeeps, passenger vans).

Since January 2013, the STC traffic division has apprehended a total of 196 motorists for violating the speed limit rule.

According to STC, they will continue to intensify its speed limit rule enforcement as well as all other traffic safety rules and regulations for the safety and convenience of all motorists traversing STAR tollway.

Meanwhile, on STAR’s two-way traffic stretch from Lipa to Batangas City, motorists are advised to keep their headlights “On” at all times and not to overtake on the double-solid yellow lane. Since this stretch is an “immediate towing zone,” motorists are also reminded to make sure that their vehicles are roadworthy and well-maintained to prevent breakdown and avoid paying for towing services.

Motorists may call STC hotlines, 0908-8657827 and (043) 756-7870, to request for assistance, report unusual road incidents or make some suggestions.
