U-TURN Slot at C-5 Libis in front of Eastwood City

[niky]

Still don't understand why they don't just close the u-turn slots and open a new one at the old Jollibee intersection, instead, as it's the proper distance from Eastwood...

Or simply reopen the intersection... as it provides a release valve for the entire area, shunting traffic to White Plains.

[yourman_2nd]

I pass by this area every single day and sobra talagang traffic dyan...and mga bagay na nagcocontribute are the following;

1. U-turn slot itself
2. Jeepneys
3. Vehicles na galing u-turn slot (south bound) tapos kelangan magsharp right papasok sa may libis police station (I guess alternative way ito going to eastwood)
3. Vehicles na galing eastwood na pagkalabas kelangang magsharp left para maka-uturn going southbound
4. Mga taong hindi gumagamit ng overpass at tumatawid sa c5

agree. accident prone pa yung mga swerving vehicles dahils sa u-turn. by closing this will solve the other 2 problems (#3 & 3, hehe) numbers 1 and 4 can be solved by the MMDA traffic enforcers manning the u-turn slot to transfer to the jeepney stop and address the jaywalkers when the u-turn slot is closed. so again, this problem doesnt need a rocket scientist or Attorney to solve. Only common sense can!!

Sir Niky, maybe Atty Tolentino will lsiten to you since you are a known writer from a Top Car Magazine. May we kindly request for your assistance in calling his attention directly or thru your Magazine by asking your editor in chief to write an article about this area. Ganyan kasi mga Politiko eh, they dont listen to the common tao because they feel they have a monopoly of bright ideas.

To think that C-5 is a major artery that serves as an alternative route from South to North (SLEX-NLEX). This is one bottleneck that can be easily solved with the proper political will. If they will not close this, then I am inclined to believe that they are getting some reward (monetary or otherwise) by keeping this open.

Kung yun ngang U-turn slot under EDSA flyover - Quezon Ave corner and the u-turn slot for Biak na Bato St right after the newly opened QA- araneta tunnel na-close nila, bakit hindi nila ma-close eto?

Sorry sir! hehe! nagulo na yung numbering ko same as sa gulong gulo ang utak ko everytime umuuwi ako at dumadaan sa area na ito...wla namang intersection pero pakaliwa't kanan yung mga vehicles sa paligid ko!

[crazy_boy]

or probably we can tweet the MMDA? lahat tayo? hehe to bring this to their attention? im sure a lot of people will comment din

Kaya nga mga bros.,- kapag napaparaan ako rito (sabi ko nga earlier about once in every two weeks - sa iyong 3 and 3,- lumalabas ang aking pagiging "Maginoo Pero Medyo Bastos".... :hysterical:

Eastwood: U-turn Slot

[yourman_2nd]

dapat isara na ang U-turn slot kung ayaw ng Megaworld makinig sa suhensyon ng MMDA. Anong klaseng sagot yang binigaw ng MMDA sa isang malaking problema na nararanasan ng libo libong Pilipino sa lugar na ito. Mukhang hindi umabot kay Tolentino at mga clerk lang ang sumagot sa suhensyon.

EASTWOOD: U-TURN SLOT

Reference No. 2012012

Araw-araw na lang po namin kalbaryo ang trapik sa lugar na ito na kadalasan nagsisimula sa Ortigas-Libis flyover. Wala na po ba pag-asa malunasan o mabawasan man lang ang trapik sa lugar na ito lalo na po pag Biyernes? Ang madalas po namin nakikita ay ang mga jeepney na halos gawing terminal ang tapat ng Citibank papasok ng Eastwood. Ngunit sa tingin ko po ang pinakadahilan ng trapik ay ang mga lumalabas galing Eastwood sa harap ng Citibank at pipiliting makatawid ng 3 lane para makapag-U turn going to C5 at ganun din po sa U-turn from Boni Serrano/White Plains going to Eastwood via Orchard road.

Suggestion lang po sana ay gawing one-way going in to Eastwood ang kalsada sa harap ng Citibank at gawing one way out of Eastwood ang Orchard road sa tabi ng Eastwood Police Station para maiwasan ang mga sasakyan na tumatawid galing Eastwood para mag-U turn at maging mga sasakyan na galing ng U-turn at pipilitin makatawid para makapasok ng Eastwood via Orchard road.



REPLY FROM TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CENTER (TEC)

Ang iyong suhestiyon na gawing one-way ang kalsada sa C-5/Citibank papasok sa Eastwood at palabas ng Orchard Road ay matagal na naming napag-usapan kasama ang Eastwood management ngunit hindi sila pumayag dahil malaki ang populasyon at ang Orchard Road ay entrance galing sa U-turn Slot.


Ang DPWH ay gumagawa ng pag-aaral para sa proposed flyover. Sa kasalukuyan ay dapat paigtingin ang enforcement ng MMDA at aming iindorso ang inyong suhestiyon sa Traffic Discipline Office (TDO).

WAT DA EFFFF...

So Eastwood Management pa ang dapat pumayag???!!! THAT'S PLAIN BS. They don't own or control C5, specifically that center island and U-turn slot.

yun nga eh, kaya nga nilagay yang u-turn slot na yan dahil sa request ng megaworld para sa eastwood city tapos kapag gagawa ng paraan para maayos ang traffic na dulot ng U-turn slot, di sila papayag kung maapektuhan eastwood city. WTF talaga!!!! malapit na akong maniwala na malakai ang naibibigay ng megaworld sa mga nagpapanatili ng u-turn slot na yan.
