P39 million new traffic system in mandaue

@brutuz bai good day, asa ta pwede maka file og complaint or maski verbal lang nga report(or can be called a suggestion) sa timing sa traffic lights? It just happened that there's a huge(or enormous) problem diha sa A.C Cortes corner Plaridel & JBriones St intersection (pocherohan) nga ang signal from Lapu-Lapu Bridge or UCLM or in short gikan sa old bridge is only 50 seconds for go, and around 160 seconds for stop.

I understand why the stop time is greater because its a three state intersection:

A - from old bridge going straight and left to JLBriones
B - from AC Cortes going straight to old bridge and right to Plaridel St.
C - from Plaridel going straight to JLBriones, and vice versa.

However, C is biased. Maybe because the go time is almost a hundred seconds, and is a busy road(maybe because they prioritize airport-SM and SM-airport). But they should also consider those vehicles coming from old bridge. The road there is around only three lane but due to heavy volume in that area it may turn to 4 lane(5 if some jeepneys are inserting to the right), Maybe they can adjust a little to increase the "go" time, not literally to make it greater than the red time because I know that's impossible. 50 seconds of go in state A is not really enough. Thank you.

@zzyxwilson , pwede ra kaayo ka motawag sa Mandaue City command center anytime. as of now, mao pa ghapon ni ilang number, 2397386.
They are very open for suggestions. Basta tinarong lang imo pag suggest, they will consider it. But lets just try kay sila man jud nakahibaw sa kinatibok-an nga plan. Like sa Ouano avenue part, ila gi control ang vehicles going inside Mandaue City tungod sa many aspects. Example is from 4 lanes, going to 2 lanes...Vehicles going in should be controlled...

Mao bitaw ako pagka dissapoint sa project kay nindot na unta. Ang problema kay ang implementation,sayang kaayo ang audio system para sa mga PWD ang lane para pedestrian gikaun ra sa motor og sakyanan.. until now wala pajud koy nakita nga kausaban ani nga problema... no need naman cguro ipa hibaw ni sa taga TEAM kay naa man jud ni sa balaaud diba.. kung kinahanlan dakpon ang mga nilapas sa lane din dakpon jud para ma maintain ang pagka hapsay...

ayaw'g kabalaka. ila na man daw ni na "discuss". maayo unta matarong ni before 2016.

Republic Act No. 4136 | Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines

Chapter IV, Traffic Rules, Article III, Right of Way and Signals, Section 42(c)

just one of many laws that does not seem to exist when observing the streets of Mandaue because it is generally not implemented.

Bacn gub.on na pod na ang karsada diha nya tabunan na pod balik aspalto..heheheh Samot jud nag ka trapik diha dapita.

[friedrich]

binuang ug baklason npod ang aspalto nga 2 layers na ilang gibutang diha. mao pwerteng kataas na sa dalan diha from the sidewalk. mura ug last year pa man gani na gi-aspalto diha dapita.

[zzyxwilson]

heard the rumors that island landscape diud daw na ila gitukod dra. well the idea of putting island there is good para di na magtaka2 og overtake ang pikas lane nya mulapas sa pikas lane, but the disadvantage is ma huot na ang dalan, just the same in mabolo. nindot sad para muhayag ang mga dalan dra sa ac cortes

[friedrich]

Yeah, confirmed yesterday nga island ila gi construct dha. Pre-fab concrete man to gisugdan ug lubong gahapon. Okay ra pod ky kuyaw na dha dapita kung gabii ky dark kaayo tunga sa dalan. Dli ta kabantay dayon naay naghuwat makalabang naa sa tunga. Layo man gud kaayo ilang street lights dha. Daplin ra kaayo, dli mahayagan ang dalan. Disadvantage lang sa island ky dli na ta kadali2x ug u-turn kung traffic sa first bridge.
