The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) held a two-day motorcycle consultation workshop aimed to have a consensus and action plan to further improved traffic management along major thoroughfares in Metro Manila, including possible establishment of motorcycle lane, specifically in Commonwealth Avenue.
MMDA Acting Chairman Carlo Dimayuga III said that the vehicular volume in EDSA has exceeded pre-pandemic levels as restrictions continue to ease.
According to Dimayuga, registered vehicles in Metro Manila continue to increase at 2.9 million last 2021, based on the data from the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO). Of that, 1.44 million are motorcycles.
“Based on our data, the daily average number of vehicles plying EDSA is now at 410,000 and has surpassed the 405,000 pre-pandemic mark because of a number of road activities and face-to-face classes reopening,” Dimayuga said.
“With this number, we’re planning to put an exclusive motorcycle lane along Commonwealth Avenue to put the vehicles in order and as part of road safety for the motorcycle-riding public,” he added.
Meanwhile, 1-Rider Partylist Representatives Bonifacio Bosita and Rodge Gutierrez, who were also present in the workshop, both expressed their support for the MMDA.
“We are one with the MMDA in this kind of initiatives which recognize motorcycle riders as the most exposed and at-risk sector on the roads, right now,” the legislators said.
The event was attended by different agencies and stakeholders from the government and private sectors consisting of bus operators, jeepney operators and motorcycle groups as well as academe.
