Nakakatawa yung mga drivers from Manila when they drive in Subic natatanga sila when they approach stop sign, pag alang traffic enforcer sige dirediresto tapos bigla na lang mahuhuli tapos kakamot kamot ng ulo at magmamakaawa na wag matiketan lol.

In reality, most drivers in our country dont know what the "STOP" sign means. Bihira din itong makikita sa mga intersections ng Manila. Blinking red light --> yes, we can see it in Manila, Cebu and other big cities but still this is not followed because people simply dont know what this means.. Napakadali kasing kumuha ng license dito, that is why drivers are not forced to study or know by heart the traffic rules and road signs before taking an exam.

yan na yung ginagawa nila yata. di ko sure kung ginagawa na sa site, pero plano na talaga yan, nlex going up to sctex going to tarlac hindi na siya dadaan sa spur ng papuntang dmia.

I think MNTC had this idea a long time ago.
OT: A Bocaue Toll Barrier (Northbound) is being proposed

OT:

Ano ba ang rules ng Stop sign jan sa pilipinas? Is it the same as the 2 sec total stop, and with a 2-way or 4-way Stop gives a right-of-way to the driver who got in there first? While in case of 2, 3, or 4 cars got in there all at the same time, you yield to the driver at the right? Also, a rolling stop is not allowed too.

[winztotoy]

Yes, you are correct. First to stop, first to go, as practiced in subic and few industrial parks. But the rest of the Philippines do not follow it or totally dont know it.

Going back to NLEX, in contrary to "STOP" sign, "MAX SPEED" or "SPEED LIMIT" I believe is easy to understand. Yet, still a lot of drivers ignore it and some people blame the design of the highway as the primary culprit of accidents (referring to the single-lane Mabalacat section).

yeah, ilang taon na yang ganyan di pa rin nae-expand... they keep telling the volume is not enough to justify the expansion...

Hindi po masyado. Pero malapit siya.

[edly]

Nice to see all these updates. Buti pa tong interchange na ito. Napakatahimik na nasimulan at tuloy na tuloy na. Unlike sa ibang projects tinadtad na ng controversies pero ni isang poste walang nakatayo. Sana ganito lahat ng interchange projects natin para ramdan ang ginhawa sa mga motorista.

Hindi madaling sabihin na dapat i-expand or gumawa, unless walang ginagawa, May tamang panahon at kapag nagawa ito dapat tayong mag-antay.

Yup.. Agree ako sayo... Bawat may project si ganito ganyan... Ang daming Problema... sana Matahimik nalang sila. Lalo na ang C-5...

[ICHUO_MX]

napapnasin ko lang, masyadong maraming problema o anumalya ang mga projects sa South.

c5, lrt sep, coastal, slex,

pero dito naman sa north, wala ako masyado maalala, maaring emron pero di naman kalala tulad sa south.

nasa mga opisyal ng gubyerno b tlga ng kinasasakupang itatayong project yung dahilan at nagkakaaberya dyan? wla bang pagkakaisa sa lugar ng south?

sori sa taga south, pero kasi, lagi ganon.

Hindi ko na masikmura ang mga problemang proyekto sa south,

[ICHUO_MX]

ano bang dahilan? san ba talaga nagsisimula? may pinupushed naman na projects sa south kaso kapag naipushed na, heto sandamakmak na mga sita, anumalya, kung anu-anong mga pagkontra.
