New set of speed limits

[dr. d]

Hope the they change the maximum speed limit in SCTEX and TPLEX to 140kph.

For the bumpy bridges sa TPLEX 120 ?

If the govt will follow your suggestion and a surge in fatalities ensued would you be willing to take the blame?

I guess they should increase it to 120 kmh, similar to some US Interstates of 75 mph. With some leeway of around 10-15%, most motorists will be cruising around 140 kmh.

I guess a lower limit of 100 kmh will do for you, doc. 80 kmh is just low for the expressway.

It is the responsibility of the motorist when he is driving the expressway. It has never been the fault of the road if the car gets into an accident unless the road itself is not kept in good shape. In the case of the expressways, its maintenance is the responsibility of the tollway company.

It should be mandatory then that motorists traversing the expressway are properly insured. If you have no insurance, then good luck with you taking the brunt of the expense in case of an accident.

I agree with you bro. Government should make it mandatory that all motor vehicles are insured. To prevent yung away away pa instead of exchanging insurance information.

It is still the reason why I still have our decade old cars insured

Likewise, it's the responsibility of the government to set speed limits appropriate to the road conditions, traffic conditions, and other factors such as driver/vehicle capability. Hindi kasing ganda ng Autobahn yung mga daan natin so a much higher speed limit is ill-advised.

From experience, increasing the speed limit to 120 on SCTEX and TPLEX should be fine. The traffic is not clear enough nor is the road good enough for everyone to be travelling at 140 though.

Drivers should be properly educated on how to use the motorway. Look at all the slow moving cars hogging the fast lane at 60 to 70 kph. It is not the volume of cars that impedes traffic flow. The lack of discipline and common sense is the reason why NLEX and SLEX is congested.

Had the chance to drive 80 to 90 kph on the slow lane on a normal weekday at NLEX and I was able to pass those in the fast lane

Whenever I want to speed up, I use the slow lane. It is possible to go beyond 100 kph most of the time, compared to the fast lane where you will find those vehicles running below 80 kph.

Perhaps the solution should be is, to "exchange the signs".

The truck and bus lane is the way to go if you want to speed up hehe

Mas disiplinado nga ang drivers sa NLEX kaysa SLEX. The concept of the passing lane is lost on drivers from the south.

Pano kaya ipapaintindi sa kaibigan ko na masama mag hog ng leftmost lane, kung tito or erpat nya eh ang reply ay ..

Don’t get caught! Read the new traffic rules along SLEX here – Alabang Bulletin

noob drivers, na tinuturuan ng mali ng matatandang drivers na di naman marunong sumunod sa traffic rules to begin with.

so who appointed them to be the speed enforcers?
"hawi kayo diyan! may emergenci ini!"
heh heh.

Bihira ako madaan ng SLEX but nung last na punta ko ng batangas, ang daming nakababad sa left lane. [emoji31] Kaya ang daming nagpapazigzag na kotse. [emoji24]

I drive at SLEX everyday as I live near Sucat. I am one of those who just make do and find the openings within the lanes to pass slower cars. When traffic is light, most people just drive between 60-80 kmh within the stretch from Sucat to Nichols/C5 but I keep my pace and drive much faster (100-120 kmh) but it means a lot of passing and sprinting.

Right on, bro! NLEX is much better in terms of infrastructure and motorist discipline. It’s very hard to cruise on a single lane in SLEX. It’s always a constant dash and pass if you want to move away from these slow drivers.

About the leftmost lane, walang nagtuturo sa driving school. Without that knowledge, new and old drivers alike would of course prefer the leftmost lane dahil kanan na lang nila ang babantayan nila instead of both sides. Sa rightmost lane naman nandyan lagi yung mga buses at trucks, at mga sumisingit sa shoulder.

Natutunan ko na lang yang fast lane sa pagbabasa sa mga forum like this.

That is good reason why some drivers prefer the left most lane even if not overtaking.

Let me present an alternate view.

Ako I prefer in the middle lane, unless I'm running at maximum allowable speed, then I use the leftmost lane. Yung wala ako maaabala. Kasi dami na rin ako binusinahan na babad sa kaliwa pero ambagal.

My reason why I prefer the middle or inner lane is because it gives me more options for escape route when an emergency happens. Pag bigla tumigil nasa harap ko for some reason, with good presence of mind, I can veer to the left or right depending on the situation. Kung nasa leftmost lane ako at may emergency, kanan lang option ko. Semento na kaliwa.

Someone also said the same thing to me, it is better that I stay in the middle, with the same reason as yours.

Middle Lane is best. Wala ka din sa buntot ng mga truck na naghahagis ng bato sa windshield mo.

Now about sa leftmost Lane, whatever your speed is, make sure wala tayo maabala sa likuran. Hindi pwede ijustify for example you're making 100 and that should be ok because max speed limit Yun. That's not true, kase laging meron Mas mabilis sayo even bawal.

unless i am in a real hurry, and i really overtake, i stay in the center lane.

Me too. I stay on the middle lanes assuming there are three or more lanes on a highway.

At night in SLEX, stay away from the middle lane as this is where the trucks pass thru.
