    Agree, dapat nga talagang i-widen ng husto ang Lawton all the way to the Nichols area (i'm talking at least 8 lanes here) while there is still ample space. If this connects to the Skyway or SLEX, the constant traffic between Makati via Kalayaan - Buendia and McKinley Road can be better managed.

    8 lanes, tapos when the time comes almost half of that will be filled with jeepneys, buses, tricycles, cold drink vendors, newspaper boys, takatak guys, sampaguita children, solvent sniffers, the deaf, dumb, blind syndicates, and what-have-you.

    Wala rin ..........

    I think I read somewhere that they intend to put up a monorail passing through Lawton Avenue (Guadalupe going to NAIA3 via BGC and Lawton Avenue, yata). If this ever happens in our lifetime, buses and jeepneys don't have to ply that route.

    On a separate note, traffic going into BGC 32nd every morning spills over to C5, sometimes taking 2/3 lanes of the southbound lane. Sana huge roundabout na lang yung intersection ng 32nd and Mckinley Parkway para hindi naiipon ang sasakyan. Or tunnel all the way to the start of Kalayaan flyover.

    A vast majority of Filipino drivers DO NOT know how to use a roundabout. Except those who have driven in countries where the roundabout system is used in lieu of intersections/stoplights.

    One classic example: That huge of an eyesore roundabout going to NAIA 3.

    Heck, even a large roundabout like Elliptical Road/ Q.C. Memorial Circle is one big pile of chaos.

    How about that mini roundabout at the corner of Domestic Road and Airport Road?

    we have a small roundabout right at the entrance ng community. kahit yung alam driver na kailangan umikot, they will still take a wrong turn dahil it's the shorter way.

    If they can educate that toothless retard driving a bombed out contraption resembling a jeepney .............. On how to use a roundabout ....

    Then the Philippines has a fighting chance.

    Ok lang kasi ang roundabout iff the exit points are free of jeeps/buses/pedicabs/etc. Otherwise

    tama, hinde marunong gumamit ng runabout dito. ang ganda-ganda sana ng runabout kahit maliit lang parang sa OZ, saka problema dito pag may runabout hinde magbibigayan yan, hinde susundin yun right of way yun mga mag merge kaya traffic pa rin
