NLEX ready for Holy Week traffic gridlock

MANILA, March 18 (PNA) -– The Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC) said Thursday it’s all set for the traffic buildup which is expected to happen on the entire stretch of North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) during the Holy Week on March 29 to April 3.

NLEX starts near the Cry of Balintawak Shrine in Balintawak, Quezon City passing through Valenzuela City, North Caloocan City, provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga. A connecting road to Tarlac Province will soon open this year, MNTC said.

“We anticipate that the needs of motorists will be greater and that the requirements for safety will likewise be higher,” said Alec C. Cruz, MNTC assistant vice president for motorist facilities and special projects.

Cruz said during a stakeholders’ meeting at the MNTC Head Office on NLEX, Balintawak, Quezon City on Thursday noon that the MNTC, operator of NLEX, is expecting a 19- percent surge in traffic during the Holy Week from the average volume of 143,000 motorists who use the expressway daily.

Traffic build-up in plazas may be experienced during Holy Wednesday on March 31 and Holy Thursday on April 1, particularly in the afternoon, at the Balintawak toll barrier in Quezon City and Easter Sunday on April 4 at the Bocaue toll plaza in Bocaue, Bulacan.

The Operation Period shall be as follows: from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Holy Wednesday, March 31, 2010; Maundy Thursday, April 01 2010, Black Saturday, April 3, 2010 and Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010. (PNA)

What does the article mean connection road to Tarlac? yun ba ang main NLEx-SCTEx linkage from Santa Ines terminus to either Dolores interchange or yung curve located at the east farther from Dolores Interchange?

Mukhang malayo ang papatungan ng girders sa mismong gilid ng NLEX, sinabi mo na rin minsan na sa part ng Tabang to sta rita ay pwedeng maging 4-5 lanes ang NLEX, kaya hindi talaga madadali ang foundation na ito kapag nag road widening ang NLEX

Metro cops press P10-M CCTV system at NLEX, SLEX
03/20/2010 | 01:50 PM

In a bid to catch motoring criminals trying to escape via the North and South Luzon Expressways (NLEX, SLEX), Metro Manila police have earmarked P10 million for a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system that can recognize vehicle license plates.

But Metro Manila police chief Director Roberto Rosales asked the management of NLEX and SLEX to provide counterpart funds for the ambitious project.

“Given its vast potential benefits to the motoring and commuting public whose continued patronage of the tollway system sustain the operations of NLEX and SLEX, I am confident that they will consider the proposal as part of their goal to add value to their services and corporate social responsibility initiative," he said in an article on the Metro Manila police Website.

He proposed that the CCTV system have Plate Number Recognition.

Rosales submitted his proposal through the Joint Anti-Bank Robbery Action Committee (JABRAC), whose members include the Bankers Association of the Philippines (BAP).

"The proposed CCTV System can scan, profile and identify motor vehicles at speed of fraction of a second using modern digital character recognition technology. This will enable law enforcers to monitor the passage of certain vehicles that are being pursued or determine if a plate does not match the model and make of a vehicle," the Metro Manila police said.

Rosales said the CCTV monitoring system will be very effective in addressing crimes like kidnapping, car theft, hijacking, bank robbery, and other crimes committed by suspects within the confines of NLEX and SLEX.

In case of a car chase, chokepoints and checkpoints could immediately be established in case suspected vehicles are spotted around the jurisdiction of the monitored area.

“The monitoring system will not only help us document incidents of crime for purposes of presenting them as evidence in court but, will also enable us to immediately and appropriately respond to any crime incident that happens within NLEX and SLEX and adjoining thoroughfares," Rosales said. — LBG, GMANews.TV
