What can you say about Slex Speed Limit?

**Bin Diesel** · March 13th, 2012 02:09 PM

Even my wife and kids says that 100kmph is too slow to be the max limit.
Feeling ko mas nagiging delikado kasi ang lalapit na lalo sa isa't isa ng mga sasakyan may isa lang maaksidente damay damay na.
Parang last week lang twice na ako nakakita ng accident na may tumaob na sasakyan, feeling ko biglang iwas sa ibang sasakyan ang dahilan nito.

too slow IMHO... especially when driving a 'Matic.

agree ako. dapat 120kph man lang. kulang ang 100kph for private cars. and yes, dapat bawal mag babad sa left most lane kapag below 120 ang takbo

Sana nga 120kph man lang. Better kung 130kph.

Pero kung sa mga PUV, stuck na dapat yan sila sa 80. LOL.

Dapat may statistics of accidents before and after the speed limit was implemented. Did it drastically cut down accidents or no change?

And wala naman din kasi underbone motorcycles sa SLEX -- dilapidated vehicles lang meron -- kaya relatively safe siya at high speeds. Unlike commonwealth, puro motorcycles, PUVs and dilapidated vehicles combines, kaya kailangan dun talaga ng speed limit. Although mabagal rin for me ang 60kph, understandable naman kasi pasok dito at doon yung mga PUVs. Sa SLEX naman, and other expressways bus lang naman talaga kalaban mo diyan eh. Else, puro kapwa private vehicles na at mga lokbu na kotseng tumatakbo.

And a 10 second 0-30 time.

Grabe 100 km/h is too damn slow. Nagsayang lang ako ng pera kung gagamit ako ng Skyway sa itaas tapos hanggang 100 km/h ang max speed limit. Waste of money.

Kung ganun, eh sa baba nalang ako.

Hayzz, I guess kelangan na ng radar detector (like Passport or Valentine One).

P.S.
Siya nga pala:
Yung sa recent strict implementation ng 100 km/h speed limit sa Skyway...........may allowance or tolerance ba ito (like + 20 km/h so 100 km/h + 20 km/h = 120 km/h pwede pa???)

BTW, make sure you are buying multi-frequency and radar/laser detectors. Different highways use different systems.

And read up how to use the detectors before buying them. They are NOT 100% solutions. They are just tools to give you an edge or a fighting chance against speed detectors.

What mode of detection ba ang existing use ng SLEX ngaun? If it is the speed camera then no use na ang mga radar detector. The CCTV camera tower along SLEX are almost 1km apart lang and given the Zoom function of modern cameras I think overlapping na sya sa current CCTV coverage ng slex. The only free pa sa Camera I think is the portion from the new Sto Tomas...STAR/SLEX extension. Near Total Gas station northward...tadtad ng ng camera towers. Ang nakakainis lang talaga eh ang mga ignorante ng rules about overtaking lanes hugger..kahit pa ba nakasteady sa max. speed sila they should come back sa middle lane. Ang madami pa nyan nasa mga 80kph lang mga speed nila tapos ayaw umalis dun sa Fast lane..haay.
