should the MMDA's Traffic Coding Scheme be removed permanently?

[ts1n1ta]

they should have it removed na lang. There's still traffic anyway. What we need is effective public transportation.

MISMO!
Isn't it obvious that traffic starts if and when an intersection, or a no-stopping area is clogged by either public or private vehicle (though more often than not PUV). Not to mentione the side streets being used as parking area.

Remove coding therefore.

[swordsman]

Remove ba ka nyo? Walang replacement whatsoever? Kung sakali pangako lang na pag-iigihan ang pagpapatupad ng traffic rules & regulations? Paano naman kung remove nga, pero ganun pa rin pagpapatupad ng mga batas trapiko? Remove pa rin?

Teka, hintay na lang muna ako ng working holiday na lifted ang coding to experience ulit how it differs kung may coding....saka ako boboto sa poll. If i remember correctly, i was pissed like hell.

IMO, if ever that time comes, sana before the government even talk about removing the coding scheme, strict traffic rules & regulations implementation should be their #1 priority.

OT: BTW, may SWS survey na ba how many people on the road have extra cars for coding purposes? Or kahit poll man lang dito sa tsikot.com? I really am interested to know. Yon kasi lagi ang argument against coding. Yong iba kasi, lahat yata ng kakilalang de-kotse, may spare car lagi. I'm one of those unfortunate few, na more than half of people i know na may sasakyan ay kaisa-isa lang ang kanilang kotse.

para sa akin ok lang kung hinde alisin, ok rin lang kung remove, but siguro I might sound unfair pero kung sakaling alisin, dapat iretain sa mga public vehicle, dahil PUV naman most of the time ang laging nasa street, unlike private cars, ginagamit lang ang roads dahil meron pupuntahan then park na for the whole day...

REMOVE 2X OVER

RESEARCH (feasability study)

REPLACE (tsikoteers have good ideas- MMDA should consult this thread)

[gearspeed]

Kung possible lang sana gumawa sila ng law na 1 or 2 tsikot lang ang pwede sa isang family then kapag 18 years old na dun na bumili ng isa pa..Tulad ng may nabasa ako na dito sa tsikot na lalo lang nila pinararami ang mga tsikot dahil sa coding na yan instead na mabawasan lalo lang dadami dahil bibili lang sila ng tsikot para sa alternate dun sa coding nila na tsikot..Ang problem lang ay yun may mga funds na madami..hehe..
Pero may time nagtataka ako bakit kapag thursday ang luwag ng roads kahit sa may alabang zapote rd ang luwag pakiramdam ko ang dami bumibili ng 7 and 8 na last plate number.

i think "by road" dapat ang implementation ng coding, not "by city"... that is, certain roads lang na talagang super congested ang dapat may coding. meron din namang roads sa makati na di masyado mabigat sa traffic di ba? dapat such roads should be exempted (as to how it can be implemented, i believe if there's a will, there's way..)

but then again, alam naman natin kung sino kumikita sa coding sa makati eh.. di lang sa coding, dami pa raket, sa kanya rin bagsak ng kita..

to add.. it seems stupid na certain roads you can't enter kasi lagpas na sa boundary ng non-coding and coding "city".. example is sa ortigas ave. going to edsa. pag lampas mo lang sa tapat ng meralco (part of non-coding pasig) papuntang edsa, may naghihintay na sa plaka mo lang nakatingin.. kalokohan di ba?

[oliver1013]

Tanggalin o magbawas ng bus. Andaming walang laman nakabalandra sa nepa Q pag gabi. Sayang sa space

[theveed]

Wala din akong backup car, but fortunately, my route is always Pasig (both office and home), Marikina (in laws), Cainta...

All 3 aren't affected by "coding" hehe.

Remove color coding scheme.

-Implement new regulations on mass transport and lessen busses (of course, chances of this happening is nil kasi dun nila nakukuha yung boto...).

-Deprives one's use of personal property even if one pays road tax through fuel prices.

-Shows that the metropolis cannot handle the volume of traffic effectively.

-Restrictions create more loopholes--people cover plates, tint them, cut the last numbers, fold them, or replace with non-coding for that day just to get by. More violations emerge.

Replacement for this? Cut the public lanes to a smaller fraction of the road, remove the barriers dahil it also eats up space, create new regulations for public transport para more strict sa kanila (forces them to be more efficient kaysa sa mag-agawan)...

[Altis6453]

REMOVE THE UVVRP!

Honestly, I'd substitute something else for PUV drivers who wantonly and recklessly violate traffic laws...castration! Tignan ko kung di tumino ang mga lekat na 'yan. If that's too harsh, let's do a Singapore and give them 10 lashes with a cane for each violation.

Remove the scheme and Binay, para magawa na ng maayos ni BF ung trabaho nya.

Saka dapat maganda ung connection ng MMDA sa City Mayors, DPWH, DOTC, LTO and LTFRB.

100% AGREE!

[IMm29]

to aid in traffic flow, i think the MMDA should also rethink their strategy on yellow lanes and u-turn slots. yellow plates on yellow lanes, huh? eh ang numero unong nawawala sa mga yellow lanes eh yung mga naiinip na naka-yellow plate.

Retain...

Dito sa Commonwealth Ave, ramdam mo talaga kung na-lift yung color coding, sobrang dami ng sasakyan. Parusa talaga every rush hour

OT: Bakit "kepted" yung nakalagay dun sa Poll Bar? There's no such word. Either "Kept" or "Retained" dapat

[3ple4]

I think the color coding scheme should stay because it really helps in easing and lessenin the traffic. Parang last summer, when there was no color coding, sobrang traffic sa binondo and tondo area... madalas mag-traffic jam.

that's true but maybe if people stayed in the proper lane, gave way when other motorists use their signal lights, and stopped using the middle of the street as a puv terminal, we wouldn't need the color coding scheme. the problem with color coding is that its a reactive approach to the traffic situation, instead of taking the proactive approach of implementing rules and regulations meant to ease traffic flow in the first place.

Does anyone realize na a new source of income has to be devised if the Coding system is abolished?

if color coding is abolished, the apprehension rate per day will increase proportional to a larger volume of cars on the road.

best source of income eto sa kanila
