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.

[seung]

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

[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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[garyq]

naku po buti na lang. Went to Fontana last Thurs and sa sobrang enjoy nung road I was running 140-150 kph. For me sulit yung binayad ko na toll.

[al_motor]

i drove at NLEX today, putik, people really don't know how to drive! pag lulusot ka at magbra-bright, yung iba di tumatabi! bwiset!

i'm thankful for the convenience of the NLEX, but coz of what i experienced today, i'm still compelled to believe that THE AVERAGE FILIPINO DRIVER DOESN'T DESERVE A GOOD HIGHWAY AS THE NLEX!

ok. vented it out. well, the price of admission should only serve to deter uneducated drivers. the LTO better be more strict in churning out licenses! dapat may points system na rin dito eh!

dapat gawin nila a particular prescribed speed per lane, parang autobahn...sayang kalye at oras eh.
parang:
-mga lulusot at tatakbo ng 120 pataas, left lane
-steady100-110 ginta
-trucks, buses, pujs, UVs, exiting vehicles sa kanan...

all cars entering expwy must be properly equipped with a calibrated speedometer!

[Pajoz]

d2 sa uae...ang truck and buses laging sa right lang, kapag nagpunta sila either middle o fast lane at nahuli, cancel ang license, 5 lane pa dito. Kapag ikaw naman ang nasa right lane (cars..suv..4x4) tutukan ka ng mg truck dahil lane nila iyon.

aside frm camera na naka-fix ang location, may nilalagyan silang lugar of their choice na di mo alam....kaya...FLASSSSSHHHHH!

[pissword]

shet buti nalang at d pa yan implemented last week hehehe... kasi i drove to pampanga in around 45min lang eh hahahaha

[Automahn]

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

Pano kung going to Pampanga ka, ala huli?

Naku, buti di ako natiyempuhan kahapon. Tumatakbo ako 120 kph average, pag talagang maluwag, hirit to 160. Pero may 1 Ford Chateau wagon & 1 Pajero Jr na umovertake sa kin habang nasa 140 ako. Di kaya random lang ang paghuli nila? :confused:

[gearspeed]

Aba hindi ko alam yung mga speed traps na yan ah.Nung sunday lang pumunta kami sa Malolos Bulacan takbo namin 110kph naka Van kami.
San ba yung mga speedtraps?

[boybi]

shet buti nalang at d pa yan implemented last week hehehe... kasi i drove to pampanga in around 45min lang eh hahahaha

tama lang naman ang 45min from balintawak to pampanga ;)

[nugundam93]

basta ba hulihin din nila ang mga slow drivers at the wrong lane eh. :lol:

[carlocaraddict]

john, yun ba yung white lines approaching toll plaza? di ko mafigure out. Usually kasi 120kph takbo namin sa NLEX.

[squala]

They should either increase the speed limit or lower the price by half. For Pete's sake, their toll is worth twice of how fast you're allowed to run!
