NLEX, SCTEX, Over-Speeding, Speed-Radar [MERGED Threads]

[confused shoes]

In case of SCTEX, I think 100kph is too slow and it very easy to fall asleep. Na experienced ko na yan minsan. Bigla na lang ako inantok on my way back to Manila. Nagising na lang ako running on the shoulder. During that time, there was almost no traffic..

But in case of Cavitex, 100kph is just enough. Driving more than that is quite risky. I noticed the road banking(Cavite bound curve) of the hi-way is not right and the road surface is not smooth.

Sa liit na CAVITEX e ok nga lang yun pero sa NLEX, hay isipin pa lang inaantok na ako!hehehe

The difference is not the quality of the road but more of the length of the highway. Cavitex is only a short length so falling asleep is not as big of a problem as the sheer length of the SCTEX.

Paano nga ba naging expressway ang Cavitex? Kung susobrahan ang mag kwento, halos di ka pa nakapagshift ng gear, nasa dulo ka na. Sobrang mahal pa ng toll fee.

I think part of the (higher) cost is the construction over water.

Toll fee sa Cavitex is Php24 Class 1. Tapos pag deretso ka pa papunta Kawit another Php64 Class 1.

Sobra ngang mahal, parang holdup na rin kung yan ang way mo araw-araw!

Yeah... one sure way to fall asleep is to try driving at 80-100kph on a wide open NLEX and SCTEX. :Needsleeep:

I rember before that NLEX Toll fees seemed so high when they first implemented it as back then, the P200+ charge from end to end seemed so wow... now it's much cheaper as compared to SLEX and CAVITEX if you look at the distance travelled.

Yeah, Cavitex would be pricey as constructing it on water and swamplands carries a hefty price tag just as well.

wow mahal nga! masyado mahal ang Php64 papuntang kawit. maigsi lang yung daan na yon ah... buti na lang sa bacoor lang ako...

un na nga sir, pumupunta pa kasi ako sa kawit novalete and maigsi lang talaga tapos mahal ng toll fee. walang problema sa bacoor at las pinas.

yun lang. kung di naman traffic sa talaba pwede naman di ka na dumaan don. saka pag-kanan mo naman sa talaba papuntang bayan ng bacoor e mabilis na yon.

I'll be going to Zambales tomorrow, so I'll be passing both NLEX and SCTEX.

How're the speed radars along these highways? Any tips on how to avoid getting tagged in case I go above the speed limit?

I don't have a radar sensor so I'll have to rely on my eyes alone. I'd appreciate if you could point out where the white pickups usually hang out

Pwede ka naman magpatakbo hanggang 120 sa SCTEX pero wag masyado. Tsaka about 3 weeks ago eh medyo ginagawa ilang portions ng SCTEX papuntang Subic. Basta don't go beyond 120 para safe ka. Sa NLEX naman, same lang din.

[renzo_d10]

Sa sctex mahirap na yan ngayon jut. Dami na natatag diyan. Tip ko lang kapag open road, kita mo hanggang malayo na walang parked white car saka ka bumanat. Kung medyo may blind spot, ingat nalang.

Sa nlex naman, di masyadong mahigpit unlike sctex.

Thanks. Try ko nalang magstay below 120 kung kaya. And agahan ko nalang umalis

Last SLEX ko though, 140-160 wala naman nanghuhuli. Came from Fuego via Sta. Rosa. But I think they're more stringent up north.

si sir GH meron siyang radar detector. baka interesado kayo.

Hoyzt!! ... I have one but I am not selling any.

Many months ago I encountered a speed radar operator hiding in the middle grassy area along NLEX. He was sitting between the metal crash barriers so can barely see him until you are almost there beside him. The only reason I spotted him ahead of time was the radar alert I got from my V1. Even then, the operator was kinda crafty, keeping the radar OFF until the last few seconds to measure the passing car's speed.

Generally if its half-dark dark outside, the radar's camera will not be sensitive enough to capture your plate number.
