    I don't know i most of you guys share my experience in the metro. I've noticed that most traffic signs in the metro are too small to read from a distance or placed at the wrong site. One example is the one near magallanes where the sign that tells you which flyover goes to pasay and which to SLEX, it is only readable once you've actually entered the flyover already...they should put road signs at least 30 meters before the divider.
    Since most of the road signs are so small by the time you can actually read them, you're too near and you have to swerve and the MMDA boys are more than willing to give you a ticket... only in the philippines... arg...

    Yun lang paakyat ng fly-over from Ayala to EDSA. Meron namang "advance signs" para sa designated lanes going to Kalayaan, Cubao, Rockwell. Pero kung first time mong dumaan dito, magugulat ka na lang, pag nasa taas ka na, yung tunay na directions papuntang Kalayaan/C-5, Cubao, Rockwell, masyado nang very close sa partitions, malilito ka na kung saan ka pupunta.........

    Yup, marami talagang useless signs. Dito nga lang sa Commonwealth Ave, meron dito noon road barrier ahead na sign, pero nakaturok na doon sa barrier ung sign. Meron din ung pagkaliliit na tipong you couldn't see it unless you're like 5 to 10 feet away. Meron din sangkatutak na signages pointing that this lane goes to here blah blah blah. Then after a few meters totally wala na yung lanes.hehe Kawawa ka kung first time mong dumaan. Ganyan talaga dito sa atin, bara bara lahat.

    Agree on this...hindi na bale magkamali ng daan...charge to experience...I won't mind spending a few bucks for gas money on a wrong turn rather than agruging and shelving out for those guardia civil on on the roads.
