sos, way ayo na ilang flyover projects oi kung 2 lanes lang (1 lane per direction). mahimo na nuon nga bottleneck ang flyover. They should learn from the case in the mambaling flyover. Wala man kasulbad sa problema. Mura ug nisamut man nuon.

If they want to build flyovers, they should have it 4 lanes at least. They should think of the future. Lisud ra ba i-widen ang flyover samut na lisud kuhaon. basin instead of it's there to ease the traffic, makasamut na hinuon.

Mambaling flyover? epic fail. worst flyover project in cebu. Imagine a 6-lane highway narrowed down to just 2 lanes approaching the flyover. and now they're planning to build the same structure?

Sakto jud ka, nisamot ka grabe ang traffic sa mambaling. Dako jud hinuon ug gasto ang road widening, but in the long run, kinahanglanon jud nato. Imagine 5 years from now, unya 1 lane ra gihapon ta sa flyover unya imagine kung nagpuno ta ug another lane pag road widening, dako jud kaayo ug deprensya.

nindot ang flyover basta dako ang dalan before and after it kay flowing naman ang trapik. kung road widening lang, ma trapik gihapon tungod sa intersections.
for me, flyover is better but flyover + road widening is the best.

flyover + road widening is indeed the best solution but perhaps road widening is more sufficient than a flyover. take for instance kanang sa escario extension from golden peak hotel to parklane hotel. since gi widening nana nga dalan, halos wala nay trapik. bigger roads accomodate more cars. dako tuod ang dalan pero bottleneck na trapik lang tungod diha sa intersection sa parklane unya buot huna hunaon naa nanay flyover diha pero wa ghapon ka solbad sa traffic. pulpol ghapon ga gama anang flyover diha. more cars and PUVs access ayala coming from grand con and more cars are accessing escario extension coming from ayala. since free flowing ang traffic gikan sa flyover sa salinas road and juan luna avenue, bottleneck ra ghapon diha tanan sa ilawm padung ayala.

They should learn the experience from <b>Boston,Massachusetts</b>... they remove the flyovers because of the traffic..


but they replace with tunnels... lolz... mas grabe

and btw... ngutana lng ko sa kauban nga istoryan... why masoko man mo gamiton ang kwarta sa publiko para mag tukod ug projects like flyover (which i don't like) gikan sa goberno... kung kamo n lng kaha mag goberno ug kami mo reklamo or mo supak sa inyong mga proyekto kay korakot kuno..

puros na lng reklamo, mao n lng dili mo improve ang pilipinas kay daghan reklamador...

Well, to stay on topic, I think two lane flyovers are only temporary, and well, stupid. Just one car gets stuck on the two laner, grabe ang congestion. Overpasses should be at least four lane, otherwise, widening is the better option.

With regard to banning private vehicles, before we can even think that, we have to put in a proper mass transportation system first. Implement the BRT and ban jeepneys because they stop anywhere, even at the bottom of those two lane flyovers where they dangerously cut into the oncoming traffic of the roads below and then block the cars. Someone should put up signs at the bottom of the flyovers: EXTREME DANGER! NO DROPPING OFF OF PASSENGERS/NO CROSSING THE STREET.

e ban nalang ang private vehicles, all public transpo only. aron walay traffic.

pusilon sa ulo ang mag pa badlong na driver, aron samot ka walay traffic.

^its not about getting mad with regards to using the funds for the flyover but its a matter of common sense and worth of the people's money. we are a progressive city yet we dont have the infrastructure to become one. its a fact that flyovers affect the business within the area. im not siding with the businessmen affected but their business somehow helps the city's economy and flyovers have been proven (over and over again) they have little importance or doesnt even resolve the city's traffic problem.

wider roads accommodate more vehicles. its illogical to cram more students inside a small classroom. no need to add more chairs but rather expand or build another room.
