What do you think about dedicated road lanes?
For one, really love the motorcycle lanes the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has placed in Commonwealth Avenue. I feel that it contributed much to the smoother traffic flow, and to the lessened (I assume) accidents in that “killer” highway. Now, if they can get those smoke-belching buses out of that high way and provide better roadside assistance plans like what they have in super highways, the better.
Speaking of roadside plans, I also love the dedicated bike lanes in Marikina City. Some …
