Come Monday, November 14, 2016, the motorcycle lane in the top thoroughfares of the metro won’t be the same again.
The Inter-Agency Council on Traffic (i-ACT) will strictly enforce the policy effective the mentioned date on the following streets: EDSA, C-5, Macapagal Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue.
This is one of the initiatives of the Duterte administration to improve traffic condition in the metro.
Trial Runs
Prior to its strict implementation, the i-ACT will closely work with members of the Motorcycle Philippines Federation (MCPF) to familiarize the riders about the policy.
Education and safety
According to MMDA General Manager Tim Orbos, educating and instilling road discipline to riders will ease the traffic condition of the roads and eventually will reduce fatal accidents among motorcycle riders.
