April 2nd, 2006 04:21 PM #1bakit kaya hindi pinapagana ang mga traffic lights during these times -- ung tipong pinapablink lang ung yellow/red light? it's not as if makakatipid sa kuryente pag hindi inooperate di ba? isn't this sort of thing automated na, or kelangan pa rin ng human operator?

It doesn't save much, it's true, but in my observation people are less likely to blast through a blinking yellow without looking than a green light.

actually, reverting the lights to blinking yellow and blinking red during times when traffic is very light makes traffic move along more efficiently.
unfortunately, Filipino drivers don't seem to understand what a blinking yellow / red traffic signal means
blinking yellow means "Slow down" (and cross the intersection anytime when safe)
blinking red means "Stop" (and cross the intersection when safe according to right of way ... this is equivalent to a Stop sign)
it's maddening to halt at a red light for three minutes when thre's absolutely no cross traffic

tama ung sinabi ni master mbt.
blinking amber means slow down before crossing
blinking red means proceed to a full stop before crossing
sa states.. mas gusto ng mga pulis na ganun ang ruling kapag gabi kasi napupunta sa driver ang responsibility na magstop or slow down kesa mabangga sila, kumbaga ikaw mismo titigil sa intersection kasi puro hi-speed ang mga banggaan dun eh.

April 3rd, 2006 11:12 AM #8madalas ako gabihin at umagahin... ang napapansin kong ugali sa mga intersection na may traffic lights e ganito... "what traffic light?" kaya weekly pag pasok ko may nakikita ako banggaan sa kalsada.
tapos ung iba kapag steady red diretso pa rin.
haaaaayyyy...
add: ako sa gabi hanggang madaling araw kahit flashing yellow full stop na kc baka may humaharurot sa intersection e madali pa ako.Last edited by bajumbo; April 3rd, 2006 at 11:17 AM.

hindi ba nga may joke na kapg nakita mo daw yung green, that means go fast kapag yellow eh go faster daw.
like i said sa mga past posts ko: ang may kakulangan sa maraming driver na Pinoy eh disiplina at common sense. however, hindi lang sa pinoy yan - millions of drivers around the world are the same and i've been in countries where drivers could really drive you nuts.

I think we should have a forum about traffic lights and regulation for the benefit of all.
Same thing with penalties and what to do if in a situation: lost license, apprehended, etc-etc.
nararanasan na din ng other cities kung ano buhay ng trueQC ko everyday. :grin: MANILA...
Traffic!
