nag.sugod na ang tarffic, abot na diri sa subangdako. wa silay tarong nga traffic plan. ka.pait!!!

wala unta ni problema if they have better traffic management. pero ang resulta, daghan kaayo ang na.hasol nga public

notices should have been posted on affected traffic routes days ahead to warn motorist

[tahitian]

naa man to mga notice to the public ang pag close sa srp due to drag race. gi.post pa man gani sa sunstar newspaper for the past days before the event. wala cguro ni basa ang tao mao wala kahibalo.

lifted from SSD speakout:

According to a City Hall insider, it was allowed to give one day for those dragsters to do their illegal thing legally. Is there a legal logic in this? Would it follow that we can also give one day for the snatchers to snatch legally?

Nothing can be as nonsensical in that reasoning. Why? This is because these megalomaniacs on wheels will race any way, legally or not. So instead of venting on them the full force of the law, we coped out, and allowed them to openly do as they wished.

Second, in these times of very expensive gasoline, nothing can be more reckless and thoughtless than to aggravate the suffering of the driving public by creating huge traffic snarls as the one created by the drag race. For the whims of the few, thousands suffered. What kind of decision-making is that?

Obviously, those dragsters have money to burn. But not all have that privilege. So if they insist on showing their super egos, let them do so without inconveniencing those who don’t share their passion. They have no business occupying a public thoroughfare so they can dissipate their excess libido.

Shutting down a stretch of the SRP to allow drag racing was a reckless, irresponsible action.. To make it worse, the affected area remained closed for the entire night, long after the "racing" was over. No warning signs posted, only dark colored barricades placed dangerously across the highway. There were no flashing lights to illuminate the barricades... I saw a truck come dangerously close to smashing into them at a high rate of speed. Christ, if you are going to shut down a section of the road, do it GRADUALLY, with barricades placed diagonally across the roadway. Give the vehicles an "escape area" to use if they don't see them in time. Only a complete idiot would place the barricades in the manner used for this race.
