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

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.

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.

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.
