Transport Consultative Group of MM

**RR_22** · March 12th, 2017 07:34 PM

Traffic has become a staple, daily confronted challenge for both commuters and drivers in MM.

Our government has implemented strategies to help alleviate the worsening daily dillema.

-Number coding
-Truck ban
And the latest plan: odd-even scheme

7am-9am: ODD
9am-11am:EVEN
11am-1pm: GRACE PERIOD, both allowed
1pm-3pm: ODD
3pm-5pm:EVEN
5pm-7pm:ODD
7pm-9pm:EVEN

(Dry humor at its best)

Government is set to create Transport Consultative Group of Metro Manila.

Now, if as a Tsikot member, we will have one seat there, what would you recommend to ease and declogged traffic congestion?

everyday mmda posts these collisions that clog traffic and these vehicles that have stalled, it also clogs the traffic flow. these have to be stopped. non maintained vehicles should be penalized. annual maintenance perhaps.

so many pictures of loading areas with puvs that clog the flow. why cant they be penalized heavily? 1minute stop will extend traffic by 10-1000fold.

hit-n-run vehicles-so many have happened...

no new rules, policies, and laws.
simply implement what laws and policies we already have.
colorum law.
jaywalking law.
no parking law.
sidewalk and roadway obstruction law.
loading and unloading only in designated areas. whatever happened to this? it was very visible and effective during the marcos years.

and fix the mrt and lrt!!! people bought cars, because they could not rely on the government's mass-transport system.

and hurry up those infernal shovel-dragging public works projects! ...you know... those tengga-cious roadworks!

Looks like both StockEngine and Doc have the same insights-- stricter implementation of the existing laws.

If that's the case, it looks like we have a good structure of how we can reduce traffic.

What seems to be the problem?
-insufficient manpower to man these rules?
-incompetent MMDA enforcers which need retraining?
-Lack of signages in the road?
-Lack of law information and enforcement to motoring public?
-Weak public law communication program?

smash the windshields and optionally the faces of the drivers who load/unload illegally

remember that philippines is a country of inconsiderate barbarians who don't show any kind of courtesy on the roads. so what's needed is super strict implementation of laws. that's the only way. anything less would result in failure, as we've seen time and time again
