Counter-flow at Ortigas Extension

[gerald_g]

Traffic counter flow along Ortigas extension every morning rush hour was stopped recently. I am guessing that it was because of the President's directive na 'walang counter-flow'.

But isn't the president referring to government officials who goes 'counter-flow' and use 'wang-wang"? And not 'counter flow' as an additional lane to ease traffic flow every rush hour, as what was done along ortigas extension?

Does any of you guys know anything about this? This has been a big pain for everyone who uses this route every morning. It has added about 30mins to the travel time every morning.

The usual misinterpretation bro. Give it a few more weeks or a month and everything should be back to normal. Yun nga lang at the expense of us who makes use of that road. Good thing my work location doesn't require me to use Rosario/Ortigas extension.

Siguro epekto nang sinabi ni Pnoy...but they should review na baka pwede i-exempt tong sa Ortigas extension...Danas ko ang traffic sa Ortigas Ext. kaya sana bigyan nila ng exemption kung wala man sana magkaroon sila ng scheme to ease traffic jam sa lugar na to....


OT: Pag sinuwerte ka from Cainta Junction to C5 flyover 10mins lang pag inabot mo ang "one-way"

Yung sinasabi kaseng counter-flow ni Pnoy eh yung counter flow ng mga opisyales naten na "rumeresponde" daw sa mga emergencies and not counterflows that are made to ease the traffic especially the area mentioned by the TS.

OT din. *chrismarte: Mukhang pareho tayo huh? Cainta-nova din ako. Ako taga-Cainta tapos gf ko taga Nova/Fairview. Hehe!

Well, I guess yang pag counterflow ay OK naman basta't may city ordinance at allowed at syempre para sa masa hindi lang sa mga slected vehicles. Maganda narin yung ginagawa ni Pnoy. Kung sa akin rin lang mas maganda na yang walang counterflowing para maiayos ang lagay ng trapiko sa Pinas at syempre para maalala na rin ng mga motorista na mayron tayong batas trapiko na dapat sundin...Mas maganda dyan e gumawa yung munisipyo dyan ng ordinance na from XX to XX am/pm ay pwede counterflow at dapat maglagay sila ng tamang harang para hindi na sila lumampas pa sa kabilang linya...

Goes to show how these police and traffic enforcers think.

*sigh.. i still am hoping that the guys who run traffic here 'really' did not take it literally na 'walang counter-flow'.. ang babaw naman nila kung ganun.

traffic managers here have to think beyond counter flow as traffic along ortigas extension is a nightmare, especially going towards junction-tikling area during afternoons/evenings.

And, while you're enjoying your 10minutes or more, with the "one-way" street, have you ever thought of the opposite traffic sitting idle for the same period of time?...

Pwede ka naman sigurong umalis ng maaga para hindi mo maabutan yung ganun tarapik db?

Ayaw nyo pa ba ng PAGBABAGO? Yan ang hirap sa ating mga Pinoy, nagsisimulang magbago ang gobyerno puro na lang PUNA, pag walang ginagawa yung gobyerno puro PUNA pa rin...Hai...

Tsaka bakit parang nasanay na yung mga tao dyan sa counterflowing? Mukhang parating ginagawa yan dyan huh? Alalahanin sana natin na hindi masusulusyunan ng Mali ang isa pang Mali...

You'll know what we're talking about sir once you get to that area. Panahon pa ni "who knows who" yung congested traffic along Ortigas extension. There is no other solution but road widening which is not easy to do with all the commercial establishments at road side. And by the way, motorists doesn't initiate the counterflow just because they want to. Traffic enforcers are there to man the flow of traffic and call the counterflow if deemed necessary (uhmm.. everyday?).

There's counter-flow too along Alabang-Zapote road, but it's controlled counterflow with the men in orange waving cars along whilst listening to their walkie-talkies.

Controlled counter-flow is fine, but when one car counter-flows and everyone follows that's what causes even more traffic, and sucks especially if you're waiting patiently in your lane.

sir i respect your opinion :2thumbsup:

bt the traffic enforcer knows what they are doing, coz after the "10mins counter flow" ok na ang traffic yung bumper to bumper nagiging moderate to slow na ulit....from junction cainta to c-5 flyover vice versa

After 30-1hr mag papa "counter flow" na sila ulit kasi barado nanaman sa ever ortigas

Everyday dumadaan dun ang shuttle namin. Mga pasaway yung mga yun eh. Kahit na stinop yung coutnerflow kumacounter flow pa din! Pero mas ok yung traffic pag may counter flow dun kasi naiipon talaga mga sasakyan.
