Yes it will increase the bribery, but you do not want to always bribe the TE's kaya you will behave.

Minsan napapaisip ako pag dumadaan ako sa Pasay, by experience corrupt nga ang mga TE dito pag nahuli ka.

pero most of the time ung mga lugar kung saan sila madalas tumambay behave na ang mga drivers at hindi na balasubas sa daan.

ang maganda pa nito, kahit wala ung mga TE sa pwesto nila (madalas kasi blind spot) behave ang mga drivers, pero pag lagpas harurut na ulit.

sample areas:
1. infront of ZEST Air ticket office along domestic road, (pinara ako noon pero naka pag reason out ako)
2. round-about after resorts world entering skyway via sales road, (nawawala ang mga TE pag traffic na)
3. EDSA near Victory Liner,
4. Macapagal Ave. cor Buendia (World trade Center), (bawal mag right turn kung hindi ka nakalinya sa far right side, at bago mag 50m dapat lipat ka na ng lane)

Sometimes knowing a corrupt TE is waiting on a blind spot makes drivers behave.

He should get people who have traffic engineering background instead of politicians and lawyers with no experience... Baka ipapa exorcise lang ni Atty Twinkle Eyes yung mga chokepoints...

PNoy orders clearing of 6 major chokepoints to ease EDSA traffic congestion

(Updated 5:41 p.m.) President Benigno Aquino III on Tuesday ordered the clearing of six major intersections along EDSA, one of Metro Manila’s major thoroughfares, to help ease traffic congestion.

During a meeting in Malacañang, Aquino particularly directed the Philippine National Police's (PNP) Highway Patrol Group to lead clearing operations, with the help of the Metro Manila Development Authority, Land Transportation Office and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).

The "major intersections” to be cleared are Balintawak, Cubao, Ortigas, Shaw Boulevard, Guadalupe and Taft Avenue.

The clearing will be carried out by strictly enforcing bus lanes along EDSA, and by removing obstructions along the thoroughfare and alternate routes, Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. explained at a press briefing.

Coloma said the government is prioritizing decongesting EDSA traffic since it “has the heaviest volume of vehicle traffic and people throughput daily.”

“Alam na alam naman natin 'yon talagang six major chokepoints na 'yun ang pinagmumulan ng karamihan sa mga traffic problems natin,” he told reporters.

Stakeholders such as bus and public utility operators, truckers and port users will be consulted as authorities carry out Aquino’s directive, he added.

Further, Coloma said the clearing of these major intersections is just the government’s “immediate” action to solve traffic congestion. He said Aquino asked government officials to “review and fine-tune” action proposals that will provide more long-term solutions to the traffic problem.

“President Aquino ordered… the submission of detailed implementation plans that take into account the need for holistic solutions, unified action among concerned government agencies and heightened awareness to ensure citizen cooperation,” Coloma said.

Last week, the President said the government is eyeing the implementation of an odd-even scheme to halve the number of vehicles plying Metro Manila roads daily.

A study conducted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) last year warned that the Philippine government can lose up to P6 billion a day by 2030 if the traffic congestion will not be addressed. — RSJ, GMA News

Tantamount as saying, Tolentino and his MMDA is useless. Hindi na lang sibakin yang si Tole.

removing thoseilegal terminals and vendors lalo na sa balintawak (southbound) 2-3 lanes din kinakain ng mga nagtitinda sa kalye. lampas konti may ilegal bus terminal. makakatulong yun kung wala mga yun.

Wala naman kasi talagang "power" ang MMDA lalo na vs LGU. Kasi LGU is autonomous kaya di basta pwede galawin mga vendors..lapit na election eh

That intersection of taft lrt & edsa south bound laging barado yan, bec of buses & jeepneys trying to pick up passengers right after the lrt overhead tracks.

May mga mmda naman, pero pakaway-kaway lang, bulag sa nakababad na bus & jeepneys at halos 1 lane na lang ang nadaraanan towards makati.....

Chairman Twinkle Eyes, pabendisyunan mo ulit yang stretch ng Edsa. Baka kinapos lang ng holy water nung nakaraan......

Mga Hari at Reyna ang mga mayors...

Dapat, ang head ng MMDA, pinuno rin ng DILG, - and an elected national official,- para mata-meme ang mga mayors at maipatupad ang tamang sistema ng kalye (walang terminal, walang kariton, walang padyak, walang tricycle, walang palengke, walang hazard/parking, walang obstruction sa kalye), at ng trapiko.

Pero iyan si beautiful eyes,- walang binatbat iyan,- puro lang iyan dada at papogi... Nagka leche-leche na ang trapik sa MM,- wala talagang matinong traffic management....
