U

U-turn along Katipunan Avenue
In an effort to ease the flow of the metro's badly congested traffic, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) decided to close off most national roads' intersections and put U-turn slots instead. Their positioning are trial-and-error experiments, so the MMDA has to use non-permanent and moveable road barriers. Looks like someone tried making a U-turn from an outer lane and is being issued a ticket.

    On the one hand, you've got to give the MMDA credit for trying to do something about an impossible situation...

    But hopefully those in charge will be open to other ideas also.

    This looks really confusing to me!

    Can you post something about Jeepneys he he. they are the actual cause of all this anyway...rather the thousands of irresponsible, "kamot ulo, sabay lagay ng pera" drivers out there, who happen to be public transpo drivers who don't follow laws and dismount passengers in while making U-turns and other forms of violations. :)I could write a whole expose just for Marcos Highway route...
