You can thank the boys from the Bases Conversion and Development for that. They prevented the completion of the roadway in front of SM AURA which would have eased the traffic.

I need to avoid the BGC area until traffic is normalised then

BGC already have too many stoplights that cause cars to move slowly through the area. You end up driving only one to two blocks before encountering another red stoplight. And that does not yet include the traffic along the main roads.

Kinda backward for a CBD that was designed fairly recently. How they designed the roads and layouts are such traffic flow stoppers.

So sino dito galing na sa SM Aura, did it reach your expectations?

They designed the road and intersections like city blocks resulting in the need for traffic lights every intersection. The area lacks any sort of main road network to help move cars through the entire area quickly. Actually it used to have it but the said main road network are not anymore being used as intended.

Example:
- McKinley Road and Mckinley Parkway is not anymore directly accessible to each other without a major traffic filled detour through 5th Ave.
- 32nd and 5th Ave are full of stop lights which cycle rather slowly... takes at least 15 minutes to travel a distance that used to take less than five minutes before.
- lack of roads that bypass the entire BGC commerical area causes increase in car traffic that could have been avoided.
- lack of more access roads to enter/exit the BGC area creates narrow points of congestion at peak traffic times.
- The BGC still have many roads that are closed to the public. These should be opened to help bypass traffic from overloaded roads while major re-planning is done to fix the above mentioned problems.

Yeah it's key to have some sort of bypass road so that folks who don't intend to congest the main bgc go on past,while the folks who have business inside go about without having to deal with passers-by.

Agree... and they should train their traffic enforcers in PROPER traffic management, wag lang sila lagi mag aangas at idisplay ang mga m4a1 at shotgun nila.. pansin ko lang kasi pag sila nagta traffic lalong tuma trafik... style nila iniipon lahat hanggang sa humaba na ang pila sa ibang lanes..

Aura should have not been there in the first place...
