MMDA Traffic Control

Hello!

1. Where do we find the list of violations including fines/penalties (including SEMINARS?) so that we could print one and put it in our cars? Are there really seminars?

2. How do to complain an mmda traffic enforcer to your office? What would happen if you complain the apprehender? Is it worth your time?
eg. A friend got caught "Overloading" because they had 3 persons on the front seats. The car is an AUV by the way (revo to be specific).

3. What is the basis for each violation? What is considered SWERVING or OVERLOADING??

4. If you could add any other information here regarding traffic issues please do.


Thanks!!

Marami sa MMDA officer na nanghuhuli sa kalye ay hindi naman talaga alam din ang mga rules. Marami dyan gusto lang mangotong. At dahil nga hindi rin ayos ang mga road marking and signages ay mahirap matukoy kung ano ba ang tunay na violations. May mga signages na sobrang liit at hindi naka-post within a proper distance ahead dun sa critical spot para mapuna mo lalo na kung umaandar at approching ang iyong sasakyan even if your driving 40 kph.

Round-about (or Rotonda) Instead of the Dangerous U-TURNs

Dear MMDA Chairman,

Bakit hindi natin gawing International Standars ang ating TRaffic Rules? I am now abroad here in Europe. Dito maayos ang traffic. Kumpleto ang mga road markings at signages to guide road users of the road conditions ahead. Ilang metro pa lang (usually 150 meters) before the change of road condition, (like if the road ahead is curving or getting narrowed, or approaching pedestrian crossing) ay may properly sized warning signages na at appropriate speed signs. At dito sa Europe ay limitado ang paggamit ng U-Turns dahil nga mas delikado sa mga motorista kaya mas marami dito ang ROTONDA kapalit ng cross intersection. Basta tama ang paggamit ng right of way dahil sa Rotonda, may priority yung manggagaling sa kaliwa, at kailangan magsignal right kung palabas na sa Rotonda para alam nuong papasok na motorista kung pwede na siya. Magandang sigurong mabasa ninyo ang Manual na 'EASY DRIVING'. May Manual Guide at CD. Yan ang inaral ko bago ang Theory Exam ko dito. At Naipasa ko ng mahusay ang aking Practical Test na talagang mahigpit. Dito kasi hindi sapat na kaya mong paandarin ang sasakyan. Driving is WATCHING What is Ahead. Importante ang Perception at Preparation para magawa ng isang driver ang nararapat depende sa kung ano ang kondisyon sa harap ng kalye. Sana ay magawa nating Safe ang ating kalye at hindi araw-araw ay may mga inosenteng nadadamay. Maraming Salamat po lalo na kung maalis na yang mga dangerous U-Turns na wala naman talagang mabuting dulot bagkus ay hazardous pa. Mabuhay po sa inyong lahat!

In addition to all that have been stated, all of those will be nothing if the laws will not imposed. Kailangan natin ng mas strictong manghuhuli. Yung manghuhuli ng tama hindi dahil sa pera. Kailangan pairalin ang disiplina. Kung may manghuhuli mababawasan ang magpapahuli at dadami ang susunod.

Isang simpleng halimbawa lang. Bakit sa Subic sumusunod ang mga motorista sa mga 4 way stop pero pag labas ng Subic eh hindi na? Simple lang ang sagot, may nagpapatupad ng batas at ginagawang consistent.

huwag na kayong magtaka dahil sa palagay ko mas nakararami jan sa mga enforcers na yan tambay lang sa kanto. it was happened to me when i went back to manila. i was driving from naia going to domestic road and i was stopped coz he said i was swerving from far 2nd right lane going to far right lane bawal daw yun. i told him that ive never knew it was a violation maybe only in the pilipins. i asked the violation code and couldnt answer it. hindi pa nakikita ang drivers license ko binanatan na ako na i have to pick up my license sa makati and cost me P400. then i showed him my license and it was california license. i told him give me a ticket or you can have my license coz im going back to states anyway but instead he negotiates with me and asked for P200. he called his supervisor and talked to me and said boss bawal po ginawa mo?? i told the sup. that i am a balikbayan and never knew it was a violation so same shit ask for lagay.
