Traffic in BGC

**marktams86** · August 17th, 2012 02:38 PM

Sobrang traffic na talaga sa BGC, especially sa road in front of Market2x... Paano kasi eh sobrang dami nang jeep wala namang laman... Wala pa kwenta mga enforcers, yung mga jeep nagsasakay at nagba baba sa market2x playgrpund side..

It also doesn't help that the road network of BGC is narrow with a lot of criss-crossing streets and that there's no real outlet to EDSA.

That place will be quite crazy once a lot of the buildings are done and eventually occupied. As for the jeeps, AFAIK a lot of those are the old lines that ran through the old Fort Bonifacio.

Found another pothole for you vinj. It's on McKinley going to Ayala right after the Lawton stoplight. It was deep enough to bounce a blissfully unaware overtaking Starex almost a foot high

I'm actually avoiding McKinley lately... that place always gets potholes after bad weather. Imagine some Forbes Park or Dasma dude hitting that pothole with their uber cars.

Speaking of potholes, ang dami ngayon sa ramp going to c5 coming from slex parang naka slalom pag umakyat ka doon.

The matte green Murcielago that haunts the parking lot I frequent got through unscathed I think. I met it on McKinley last Monday.

BTT avoid that area between 8:30 to 9:00. Traffic going to Ayala backs up all the way to Hyundai. Those who bypass to Buendia get backed up all the way to Chef Laudico. I suspect the street in front of Ford will also be packed.

So basically if you're on your way to EDSA from C5 at those times you're screwed

Try to take time learning the inner streets on off peak hours or on Sundays. The road network there is really confusing at first, but once you get yourself familiar with it, it'll surely be helpful. Although of course wala na tayo magagawa dun sa mga entry/exit points to EDSA and C5, talagang dun lang ang mga daan halos.

There is a tunnel opening under the Kalayaan flyover. Wonder where that goes.

Even during the evening rush hour until 9-10pm, it's backed up from Kalayaan Avenue up to CATS.
