Letter from an irrate motorist

To Mr. Fernando and all officials of the MMDA,

The new traffic scheme of putting up pink road dividers from Robinson’s Metro East to Sta. Lucia is the most stupid traffic strategy to date.

Instead of its supposed “objective” to decongest the traffic in the area, it only made matters worse. All vehicles are trying to squeeze their way on the right most lane just to get to the malls, or pick up passengers, or turn right to Felix Ave. while the other lane is filled with useless asphalt. Gone are the days were smooth sailing driving along Marcos Hi-way is a certainty during off-peak hours and weekends. Traffic now is even worse before the u-turn scheme was even implemented.

Instead of fragile pink fences and orange barricades, why won’t you spend all your money hiring people to either train all the notorious drivers in the country or security cameras to document all violations on the spot? I had a group who made an ANPR if it means anything. Oh and yeah, separate lanes for motorcycles would be of much help too.

Sincerely,

Risha Lopez

  • So-called Five-day Weekend

    With three consecutive class suspensions plus the weird law that moves holidays, I am left with a five-day long weekend.

    Am I happy? Well, not really. Suspension of classes would just mean more make-up classes, unbearable hell weeks due to postponed classes and of course, the feeling you get whenever you turn on the TV and see the devastation left by the typhoons.

    The series of consequences will commence this Tuesday. Hello, stress! We meet again!
