Motorcycles can no longer use EDSA-Kamuning service road
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that the agency will be banning motorcycles from traversing the EDSA-Kamuning service road to help lessen the traffic on the said service road.
MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes said motorcycles will no longer be allowed on the EDSA-Kamuning service road starting tomorrow (May 3, Friday) but will instead be guided to take alternative routes such as Scout Borromeo, Panay Avenue, Mother Ignacia Avenue, and Scout Albano.
“This move is to lessen the traffic on Kamuning service road. All vehicles, including motorcycles, are urged to use the alternate routes,” said Artes, with Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Regional Director (NCR) Loreta Malaluan and other DPWH officials, and representatives from the Quezon City government.
Last month, the MMDA announced that the southbound lanes of the EDSA-Kamuning flyover will be closed for 6 months as part of the government’s efforts to rehabilitate structures in preparation for “The Big One” in case it happens.
Data from the MMDA Traffic Engineering Center showed that 24,000 four-wheeled vehicles and 23,000 motorcycles traverse the southbound lanes of the flyover daily.
