Executive Order No. 39, which was recently released by the City Mayor’s Office, dictates speed limits at 30 kph, 40 kph and 60 kph in different parts of the city.
“There has been no formal complaint yet, but we have heard people still asking about which parts of the city has specific speed limits. This means that there is a further need for more information,” Avila said.
Avila said that the transportation committee is still waiting for an official report from the TMC regarding how effective EO39 is.
In an earlier interview, former Traffic Management Center chief Dionisio Abude had said that information tarpaulins have been installed on the city’s overpasses.
Several billboards in the city also define the speed limits, including one sign near the Sangguniang Panlungsod building, as well as an advertising space near Quimpo boulevard.
“It’s not enough for tarpaulins to be installed around the city,” Avila said, adding that the city needs to abide by international standards of information materials being made available at certain intervals from 200 to 500 meters.
The Traffic Management Group has recently acquired 11 traffic guns to make it easier to detect and apprehend violators.
A speed limit of 60 kph has been mandated for vehicles driving from Sirawan to Ulas Crossing, from Lasang to Panacan, from Calinan to Ulas Crossing, and from C.P Gracia Highway-McArthur Highway to Panacan.[]
