Emergency Powers - Traffic

[_Cathy_]

Baka part of easing the traffic problems a possible declaration of 2 days coding for every car. Thats about 40% less transport in MMla.

People will just buy more cars

Whatever they do they should do it asap. Traffic from makati to qc last night took me 4.5 hrs. I left at 5 (to give myself a chance) arrived home 930pm.

Ako naman sensing what'll happen coz I saw the rain from Manila to Makati from my bldg. i rushed to BGC kagad from Makati, Still got stuck in a 10 min standstill sa BGC bridge from Makati to BGC good thing it cleared

Parked in BGC Mukti-level at 530pm. Took a quick nap (15min) while hard rain. My wife shopped nearby.

600pm I said to my wife Im hungry, so we ate at Bonchon just below the parking. After an hour, even the road in front of bonchon where jampacked na. So I said to my wife, let's prove na congested na traffic all over. So we walked to Market Market. All those streets in Bonifscio high street locked with cars na, probably suggested by waze lol

So yun We went to market market, there was car showcase there most brands, fortuner, montero, suzuki, and even Foton topllander, I tried it all hehe. After 30 min of that.

We went inside the mall. place is filled with stranded commuters. We went to Japan Home and Daiso. i never had time to study their products so I took time, analyzing and studying all of it. i always needed the data for my analysis company,

At 830pm, traffic is still bad outside so we walked to SM Aura. Window-shopped, strolled and strolled, ordered and ate dessert. Finally, I memorized Most of SM aura's shops.

At 10pm, we checked waze. Traffic still standstill at both edsa and c5.
So we proceeded walk back to high street. In high street, there was a number of people playing pokemon go in a particular spot. So i observed them, what they do how they behave for 30 min. I dont play Pokemon but I like observing and then the idea came in. i'm going to convince our clients to support this Pokemon craze so that they can have foot traffic in their business.

Then We walked to Shangrila, toby's estste is alresdy open. Since it's cold snd rainy, we ordered hot coffee and took a selfie with the coffee. Got like 50+ likes coz some of my friends didnt know it was already open

At 1130pm, checked waze again and plotted my destination home. It says their 30 mins kaya naman with some minor traffic. So yun went home, I paid P70 for BGC parking, I tried to fill up sa Shell and was surprised to see a long line in shell station up to bridge, dami halos naubusan ng fuel.

So there, it was productive night I guess,

I got lucky. I left the CBD at around 930 and was in QC at 1030 via several backroads.

It won't work as people will always have to move about.

Fixing mass transport is still the focus here as that's what will encourage us to leave our cars at home or a transport hub parking.

Of course im wary about opening subdivisions and i do hope they first address the vehicles that slow traffic on the streets; that be the cars who stop and park, PUVs and PUBs that refuse to load and unload properly, etc.

^and that practically sums up what life is in BGC.

Hmmm, coding for first digit & last digit? Yeah like what Cathy said, people would just buy more cars (well those that can afford).

Lagot ako if this happens because both of my cars have the same first digit. I will be forced to buy another car. I'll just get a 90s car or any car not over 150k

coding? those who can, will just buy more cars.
the car dealers already nominated gen. maganto to sainthood years before... will they do the same to ... this time?

car pool? it will just create a new profession... professional passenger. the classier the outfit, the higher the PF.

i... have no answer. except... hatakin ang illegally parked vehicles! give the roadway back to the motorist, and the sidewalk back to the pedestrian!

We must also remember that the Skyway constructions play a role on why EDSA is pretty much bad 24/7. Id expect a little relief once this is done.

At BGC, when one vehicle stops on the main road to wait for a passenger, it slows traffic considerably.

the original schedule talked of two years. it's already one year. it does not look like two years will do it, to me. let us hope the new leadership will convince the constructors to be true to their word.

[cardict]

And stop all those ambulant vendors roaming around

[dr. d]

so far, all these things can be accomplished without the benefit of emergency powers.

It's really enforcement of what is in place. Same with ridding colorum vehicles.

bakit di nalang isara yung buong kahabaan ng tatamaan ng construction, for a month for example.
tapos imbis na bidding, eh kunin lahat ng contractors at sabay sabay gawin or salubong. walang delay etc. para tapos agad.

My solution is cheap and readily available. Electric buses attached to overhead power lines. No big railway expenses, only comparatively cheap power lines. Plus the added bonus of the buses staying in their lane. Then outlaw all the PUVs where these buses have lines.

The drivers of the disenfranchised PUVs can be hired to drive the electric buses. I just don't know about the operators... Maybe move out to the provinces which need the transport? 😄

Political will is the only large obstacle for this scheme.

As James Deakin rightly pointed out as the elephant in the room, we need to start with driver discipline. The lawmakers can pass hundred traffic laws but if the drivers ignore them, they are practically useless. I always share this sad joke with visitors from abroad - our traffic rules are merely suggestions.

Voluntary discipline to any race or nation is non-existent. Been to europ and america, and we're all the same

You know how america works, drivers get different insurance charges when they have piled out road tickets.

Yun lang kelangan, Halibawa si yebo may infraction, charge him 10% more sa next renewal ng LTO, halimbawa sa juts, nag park sa kalsada, charge him 100% more sa LTO sa renewal

That alone is the single most powerful motivator of discipline.

Alam dapat ni Deakin yan diba Amerkano sya, those dashcams and daily road violation newsBenefit people like him and topgesrph, kasi may purpose sila over something na hindi naman ma-solve. Imagine reporting everyday

Sayang lang oras with those half-witted solutions

----

Eh pano mangyari ang computerization sa LTO. Yun nga sa ZTE hindi palusot eh. Corruption or not, sana may sariling network ang government agencies

So suntok sa pader lang lahat ng iniisip na solution dito. It wont work.

This made me LOL! hahaha!

Wala naman discipline majority ng Pinoy. Pero napansin ko sa BGC, majority ng drivers, respect the pedestrian lane and intersection (x mark na don't block). I don't know if it's because there are BGC security all over.

Yung friend ko nahuli na sa BGC ng beating the red light, sa 32nd street, he came from C5, humabol sa green. Hindi talaga pwedeng lagyan ang BGC police. Ako naman natanggalan na ng plate, sa Makati police nakukuha sa pakiusap, pero sa BGC kahit nagpa awa ako, walang effect

Napansin ko rin to. Nagiging marunong magbigayan pag tapak ng bgc. Maybe because everyone is giving? Nakakabadtrip kasi kapag may swapang e. Tendency ng tao lalong ayaw magbigay

Tingin ko dahil klarong klaro ang road markings sa BGC. Kumpleto sa stop line, zebra crossing, traffic lights, meron pang sign na pedestrian priority on ped lanes. No room for ambiguity.
