OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM BGC:
The installation of the new speed bumps in Bonifacio Global City is a strong effort to protect the safety of our pedestrians.
Speed bumps, which are more abrupt than speed humps, are meant for vehicles to come to a near-stop just before a pedestrian lane, while speed humps only require vehicles to come to a rolling stop.
This initiative is part of an even bigger road safety & pedestrian-priority program which includes deputized Ped-Priority Marshals, who are currently already deployed in pedestrian heavy intersections.
The specifications of the bumps are aligned with the international practice and are strategically located in areas with high pedestrian volume i.e. institutions & retail gateways, and where there are no traffic lights. As with all new schemes, we understand that there may be some discomfort from motorists. Rest assured, we will continue to vigilantly monitor this.
We look forward to the public’s understanding and cooperation on this matter. Thank you very much.
