November 12th, 2008 08:37 AM #11for PUVs i think ok lang. but i'd rather they be strict with the yellow lane/segregation scheme. but going back, aren't there speed limits already in place on national roads? hindi ba automatic depende sa laki ng kalye? it's just the implementation that's lacking?
kung serious sila, lagyan na lang ng speed and acceleration limiters yung mga puvs. at least sure na hindi na makakahataw mga yun and no need for speed guns and questionable apprehensions.

40kph? 60kph...malapit sa katotohanan. It's so easy to impose rules...so hard to enforce it. Matagal nang imposed ang 100kph at "overtaking lane" sa NLEX. Pero hanggang ngayon may tumatakbo ng more than 120kph at may nagbababad sa overtaking lane. Paano isa o dalawa lang yata ang gamit nilang radar.
What more sa EDSA na napakaraming eng eng na tsuper na simpleng "no swerving" sign e hindi maintindihan.
40kph speedlimit is very ideal IMO but not that realistic. Mas maganda IMO yung speed limiters sa makina mismo para kahit anung "ot-ot" niya sa akselerador niya e pipiyok lang ang makina.

Pag trapik naman talagang 40 kph lang ang matatakbo ng mga sasakyan, baka nga mas mabagal pa.

as always, i will bet ngayon lang yan hanggat senstionalized ang mga euro generals... para madivert attention ng tao. next year i bet makakalimutan na naman yan. malabo matupad nga yan after 11pm-6am.
pero 40kph.. realistic for a traffic ridden city street, but dapat atleast 60-80 man lang.. lalo na sa edsa because main thoroughfare siya. and dapat no other streets in metro na mas mataas pa ang limit than the main artery.
dapat i-reassess lahat ng PUV drivers and/or gawing requirement na dapat mechanically speed limited lahat ng PUBs/PUJs/FXs during their yearly renewal with LTO and LTFRB.

Well, what's new? Make a new law pero same kind of implementation. Anong mangyayari dyan, another source of revenue (and headache, for us who can drive faster safely)? Granted, it's for a reason - but I bet a lot of the public transport vehicles like jeepneys and buses don't even have a properly working speedometer. Then add to that their lack of discipline.
Hindi nga nila mapatupad ang proper traffic stop signs, yan pa kaya, where people can be driving way too fast and manage to escape...
I doubt the MMDA will even chase down a speeding bus and risk their own lives for it.

Speed limits are fine but do they know how slow 40km/h is? That's the speed we travel in residential areas not highways, make it at least 60 to 80 km/h to allow traffic flow.
