Roads around the Country

[bloowolf]

Going to Lucena, Quezon is now easier, avoiding the old National highway through San Pablo onward, with all the buses, trikes & jeepneys. Make you way through STAR to the Padre Garcia livestock auction market all the way to the Rosario-San Juan-Candelaria Rd. then right at the Quezon Eco Tourism road. Plenty of beaches in this stretch. Hardly any road hazards here.

As per experience kung hindi pa widened yung road, OK ito kung NCR to Lucena lang at hndi aabutin ng 4-5AM and late rush-hour or else nagsisilabasan yung mga slowmo vehicles, public commute, and pedestrians. Ang way ko this pandemic is Star-Tanauan route para ma bypass yung Sto Tomas. Ang natitirang bottleneck parin Alaminos-SanPablo and Sariaya na walapang bypass road, pero moving traffic naman kahitna pang asar yung 5 intersetions/stoplight sa SanPablo. kaya as much as possible midnight ako dumadaan dyan para hindi stressful ang driving.

nice nga yan.. sana matibay at tumagal.. maganda yung installation nya kasi flushed sa kalsada.. nag lagay din ng traffic lights sa zapote, times, southland at sa may bf international.. kaso mas lalong nag trapik pag daytime.. mas ok pa din yung may traffic enforcer or bigayan sa intersection.. kaso madami pa din dupang sa kalsada na kahit puno na eh pilit na sisiksik..

Sayang kasi minsan, nasisira pag nasagasaan ng dump truck or pag natunaw yung aspalto, lumulubog sila.

Anyone here takes the SLEX San Pedro exit through Magsaysay Ave. to Daang Reyna to Daang Hari? Shortcut to Evia zlifestyle Center. Its also a zigzag road through the hills.The road is asphalted & not that smooth but sort of scenic since some of the view is nice.

di ba mas malayo yan? kasi nasa south bound lang ang san pedro exit, kung papunta ka ng evia, pwede na mag MCX agad...

Tried this route during the peak insane traffic nung full blast yung Skyway extension construction pre-covid. Exit SLEX NB at Southwoods, turn right after Southwoods Mall then follow Waze all the way to Daang Reyna, Evia na ang lusot.

Extremely circuitous route compared to SLEX, puno rin ng subdivisions and trikes and pedestrians on both sides, pero that time it was unbelievably faster than going through SLEX.

[bloowolf]

Ay, oo nga. Noon kasi, nung wala pang MCX & I lived in Bacoor, this was my usual route. I now live in Parañaque.

I went to Kyusi yesterday for a family get together, 1st in 5 months. Going there was a breeze, via Stage 3. Going home around night via EDSA wasn’t. EDSA is confusing especially with the left side bus lane. The lanes change from 5 to 4 & sometimes 3, mawawala yung barriers, cars use that lane then the barriers suddenly appear. Twice I had to suddenly change lanes again. I can’t figure out those barriers in the Ayala underpass. It has those but it doesn’t go all the way. I’m glad I don’t have to use it often.

is skyway 3 still free?

yes, i also find edsa now, confusing. not to mention, the road dividers that have a knack of attracting car bumpers. i do not see how the current scheme is an advantage over the previous scheme that we grew up with.
a previous mmda official earlier said that they had dis-approved of that scheme before.
i am wondering, why did the next set of officials approve it...

Yes, still free though, you have to pay P60 to go to the Minda ramp.

Twice I nearly got into an accident swerving out of that lane. It is confusing cause the rules are not consistent. They said cars are not allowed but I see a lot going in. Why have those dividers in the tunnel when the buses pass on top? Why divide the lanes without any purpose?

thankspo. gagamit kasi ako bukas.

the previous edsa scheme was consistently consistent. walang naco-confuse.

"kasalanan ng motorista yan kung mabangga nila ang divider, dahil hindi naman gumagalaw ang divider."
if an independent traffic expert were asked of opinion, i am confident said expert will have a different account of things...

an older mmda official explained the yellow line as they first envisioned it.
it is not to prevent the bus from going out to the private cars' lane... it is to prevent the private motor vehicle from going into the bus lane.
the later policy that prevents either vehicle from either side from crossing the yellow lane, is a later interpretation.

Yeah interesting nga yung comments.

AFAIK the road is complete, I've head from folks who've driven through and they say it's fully paved already.

From the comments the old tattooist lady is still alive and well at 104+

Whang od Ogay is a living legend/national treasure being the last of the original mambabatok. She is supposedly more than 100 years old. I’ve seen her work & I find traditional tatoos very beautiful. She signs her skin art with 3 dots. She is very popular in Europe & Australia, with many tourists, before the pandemic, going there just for a piece of her work. I heard from 1 lady I met before that she has her grandaughter doing some of the work since she is not that strong anymore. Masakit din daw.
