New set of speed limits

[Syuryuken]

Earlier today, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) launched Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) 2018-001, reclassifying different types of roads and providing motorists with a clearer set of speed limits to follow.

The move comes in a bid to reduce accidents and speeding incidents on national and provincial roads, to strengthen the implementation of the Philippine Land Transportation and Traffic Code (Republic Act 4136), and to improve coordination between local government units (LGU) and concerned government agencies like the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Under the new guidelines, LGUs will be permitted to lower speed limits on roads within its jurisdiction via approval from the DOTr and DPWH. They are also being encouraged to enact speed limit ordinances. "JMC 2018-001 is not a new law. It is a mechanism that fortifies the implementation of Section 35 of RA 4136," the DOTr says.
