The Notorious Old ZigZag Road (Bitukang Manok) of Atimonan, Quezon

[bigbites]

Sharing my solo ride to Atimonan, Quezon's "Bitukang manok," Zigzag Park and Mermaid Statue

Bitukang manok is somewhere between Daet and Naga.

This is the old zigzag road of Emi.

At those sharp curves, always yield on the left side of the road for upcoming traffic.

Daming bagong dumadaan dito na hindi alam na ganun dapat ang bigayan dyan.

Parehong bitukang manok tawag dyan sa old zigzag sa Atimonan at sa Daet-Sipocot Road, pati nga from Sta Elena to Labo may tumatawag na rin na bitukang manok yan.
Pero ang naunang tinatawag na bitukang manok ay yung sa old zigzag sa Atimonan, parehas na may road marker yan ng DPWH na nakalagay na bitukang manok.
In the 80s, nilagyan na ng salitang "tatlong" EME yung marker dyan sa entrance ng old zigzag sa Atimonan, pero yung sign na bitukang manok hindi parin tinanggal.

As Glenn mentioned, it is also called Bitukang Manok.

I'm not aware however, of yielding on the left side on sharp curves. That explains a lot. Is there any sign or instruction along the road that I missed? I hope there is because there will always be first-timers taking that route everyday.

May mga "traffic enforcer" lagi dyan. They will give give instructions.

And, yes, bitukang manok tawag dyan, kahit ng mga taga dyan.

Kailangan mo nga lang silang batuhan ng barya. Makaka-50 pesos ka rin sa barya since kada corner may "traffic enforcer" 😂

yung yielding on the left dun lang naman yun sa second level ng pinaka tuktok ng zigzag going to manila where TS took some pics. at yes may mga guides dun at iistop ka nila. they do this kung merong papaakyat dun sa steep part from manila. and then iistop din yung nasa baba going to bicol pag may mga pababa galing dun sa tuktok. di nila pinagsasalubong ang mga sasakyan dun sa part na yun. on other parts may mga guides din sa mga curves na malapit sa edge ng mountain. pababa ng mountain going to bicol malapit sa exit ng bm may malaking puno na very close sa edge ng road at naka slant minsan alanganin sa salubungan.

Bitukang manok din pala tawag dito. Buing akala ko yun sa bicol lang yun.

Nun bata ako, daming horror stories kinukwento matatanda sa akin dito at paniwalang paniwala naman ako.

Dun daw sa parang park sa taas may nagpapakitang babae :twak2"
