'MMDA should evaluate the impact of protected bicycle lanes to the worsening traffic congestion' Travel time in the Metro area
Travel time in the Metro area has significantly slowed down, indicating traffic congestion has worsened.
The bus carousel, for instance, is one project designed to lessen the congestion along EDSA but there is now talk of doing away with it. Recently, due to the clamor to put up bicycle lanes, about 1.5 meters on both sides of the road have been set aside as protected bike lanes. The rest, as they say, would simply be icing on the cake like better training for traffic enforcers, regular traffic educational programs especially for professional drivers, better government coordination and minor engineering undertakings that can significantly improve traffic flow.The cycle time of the traffic lights at the EDSA-Shaw intersection needs to be adjusted.
The current management of the Shaw-EDSA intersection is too complicated and needs to be simplified. That intersection should also have more CCTVs and lighting for more effective and efficient management. It is for this reason that it must have a state of the art traffic operation center to be able to react in real time when the traffic situation demands.But it would greatly help MMDA’s efforts if there is some kind of an overall road map to follow.
