Traffic Enforcers Bypassing Active Traffic Lights

Hay naku! .. Matagal ng problema yan! Minsan nga pinara ako ng MAPA dahil pina-stop nya na raw ako, bakit ako naka-go pa. Paano, yung katabi nyang MAPSA sumisenyas ng GO ... tapos sya STOP! (intersection of Ayala and HV dela Costa/Salcedo)

Sarap pag-untugin yung dalawang yun ..

Ayoko na ma-highblood ....... Friday ngayon! ...

di ko ma-get kung bakit ginawa yun eh maluwag naman yung intersection at wala naman mahabang build up in all directions

parang nag-trip lang yata yung mga mokong

i could just hear the cursing of those who'd be late in their work at 9am

it was really just a normal stop and go on that intersection at that time (cause i happen to pass by)

why those "enforcers" decided to intervene is beyond logic talaga

Basta ako, kung sino ang pwedeng humuli saakin iyon ang susundin ko. In this case, yung traffic enforcer.

Pero yeah, you're right. Sana patayin nalang nila yung stoplight para hindi malito. Mahirap din yung kapag nasa harap ka ng "pack" tapos naka-hinto ka even naka-green yung stoplight dahil sabi ng enforcer at bababaran ka ng busina ng mga tao sa likod mo.

hahaha dami kaseng bwitre sa makati.

ako naman a few months ago eh pinara rin nung "enforcer" na nagmarunong sa pagdidirect ng traffic sa me ayala.

nung nag-green kase kami, andar ako (sa unahan ako eh)

tapos bigla akong pinahinto nung mokong after a couple of meters of advancing.

di ko pa daw turn. sabi ko eh green na kami chief.

di pa daw kase di pa daw niya kami pinapa-turn.

sabi ko eh dapat pinapatay na lang nila yung traffic light kung gusto nilang magmando. nakakalito kase.

aba akalain mo eh pinatabi ako at hinihingi lisensiya ko!

tanong ko violation ko at ang sabi eh not following traffic signal daw.

sabi ko eh ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng green - di ba go? napakamot si "enforcer".

sabi eh assault na lang daw dahil pinagsabihan ko siya na sundin na lang yung traffic light

assault???? WTF??!!! sabi ko dun sa ogag...

alam mo ba ang ibig sabihin ng "assault"? ikaw, gusto mo kasuhan kita ng harrassment ngayon?

natameme ang loko. then sabi ko, ayusin nyo trabaho at wag mang-abala ng mga sumusunod sa batas.

Our Traffic Enforcers need to go back and take a course in Traffic Enforcement. Anlalabo nila!

It's ok, IMO, for them to take over an intersection and direct traffic manually if the situation warrants it. Some traffic light settings/timing are out of this world. But to reduce confusion, they should really turn off the traffic lights if they mean to direct traffic. They should also wear the proper reflective gear/ gloves so that they are better seen especially at night.

That's the main problem with a lot of the confusion, they don't turn off the traffic lights. In Makati, some enforcers (lalo na kung barangay) tend to favor certain lanes as well, causing a big back-up on other lanes. On Kalayaan after coming down from the Buendia - Fort flyover), the traffic there is always bad because of the parked cars/jeeps/trikes belonging to voting Makati residents (these are never towed unlike in CBD) and the tanod enforcer who gives priority to the tricycles coming from the side street instead of the cars on the main road.

A lot of them probably don't drive or ride private vehicles really so they dont understand the position and situation of the car and the driver.
