Traffic in BGC

[vinj]

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.

That's a nice powerpoint presentation...

Agree, in our dreams. :D

[JohnM]

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

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

Pointless, useless, what-a-waste.

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

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.

It's still better than this other MMDA brain(less)child:

[lowslowbenz]

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.

Primo, that is exactly what it looks like. :D

[vinj]

I almost ran into that one at the Ayala intersection the first time around since it goes right smack at the proper driving line when you're going to McKinley from EDSA southbound... It takes a special kind of idiot to put a roundabout at an intersection with a stoplight.

[e2romo]

Malaki siguro kickback ng MMDA diyan. :D

how can you expect bright ideas to come from MMDA when most of the people there are previous metro aides street sweepers and oyster boys. their chairman and department heads are all officed in an airconditioned room not really knowing the day to day problems at the streets.

Open na pala yung shortcut to C5 SB from McKinley sa tabi ng Aura. Exit neto is the squatter area beside Petron. Good thing dahil under construction pa din Bayani Road.

Nice. Doon nga makadaan mamaya, iwas din sa traffic market market and Aura.

On a sidenote, bow ako sa mga street sweepers na nakikita ko. Mas masipag kumilos kaysa mga TE na walang ginawa kundi tumayo na parang gago.

Ingat lang sa mga bundok na nagkukunwaring humps. Tatlo yan pababa.

What am I supposed to do when I encounter that plant box and I want to turn left? Drive on its left side as the diagonal yellow line suggests or assume it is a roundabout and drive on its right?

Matagal na ko di nakadaan sa EDSA-Ayala, meron pa ba nito hanggang ngayon?

On 2nd second thought, wag na muna. Di naman na traffic pag uwi ko sa gabi.

Naiisip ko lang lagi, bakit kaya wala masyado street lights sa lawton ave? kaya iniiwasan ko dun pag gabi.

Still there. Sundin mo na lang nauna sa yo. Kung ikaw nauna patay mali na lang :hysterical

That's no roundabout. Kahit si manong TE ituturo ka sa left side neto if you're turning left from McKinley to EDSA SB.

Dami kasi tumatawid from Aura to Market Market. Tagal din minsan ng stoplight. May dalawa pang tagtag na expansion joint pababa to C5. Kaya para sakin convenient na 'tong shortcut

With the plant box, I end up driving on the left side of it. It is just too small and badly placed for me to even consider it a "rotunda".
