A THREAD (11 parts): So this is the problem with the implementation of the motorcycle lane along Commonwealth. Again, I'm not against the lane per se, I'm questioning its implementation. The other night I went out on a motorcycle to see how the @MMDA 200m rule for u-turns works.

EDSA is C-1? Commonwealth is C-4? From the 2023 @MMDA Metro Manila Accident Reporting and Analysis System.

.@SkywaySOMCO Hello. Can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put “Lane Ends/Merge Right” signs on the NB side of SLEX where the new left lanes end. It’s a crash waiting to happen. At around 31.8km and 29.2km. They should be 300m, 200m and 100m BEFORE the lane ends. SALAMUCH!!

What does the pavement marking here mean, @MMDA?

If you want to reward the @MMDA enforcers for doing their job well, DON’T offer them P100,000 loyalty money. You advocate for living wages, overtime pay, a safer work environment, better hazard pay and health benefits, and world-class PPE, among others.

1. Incorrect use of signage color: the default color combination for signs seems to be white on green, which, according to the @DPWHph manual, is for DIRECTIONAL SIGNS. In the examples shown the color combo is incorrectly used for regulatory and informational signs.

3. Small size (micro-signs): micro-signs litter EDSA with completely unusable information (mostly in the wrong color combo of white on green - see #1 above). These signs are so small that they are only legible at very close distances and therefore provide info that’s unusable.

4. Advertising billboards/visual clutter: parts of EDSA are cluttered with ads. This visual clutter renders real road signs invisible. The corporate colors of one advertiser is similar to the color used in road signs. Contrast this with portions of EDSA with no clutter.

We went out and traveled along EDSA with @Amadeus_IOM of Visor.ph to start our Informal Audit of EDSA. General findings: 1. Incorrect use of signage color 2. Bad placement 3. Small sized signs (micro-signs) 4. Advertising billboards/visual clutter @mmda @DPWHph

13 words/1 number vs 3 words/1 number. Good signs must convey information efficiently. @MMDA, your sign is too long to be read (wrong color combination, too). Use symbols rather than words whenever possible, #MMDA. A preview of our audit of EDSA road signs/pavement markings.

Now that you’ve removed the no turns signs, @MMDA, you need to warn motorists that there’s a signal and left turn ahead. Get rid of the existing signs (which are useless and in the wrong color combination anyway) and replace them with these. It’s MUCH,MUCH clearer, IMHO.

Just drove by the intersection in question. Looks like you removed the signs (wasn’t able to take a photo), @MMDA. Good job! 👏🏼 NOW, may I volunteer to put a small team together to do a road sign and pavement marking audit of EDSA and C5? They badly need such an audit.

Here is another recommendation I would make to @MMDA: the removal of all privately funded signs pretending to be legitimate road signs such as these advertisements for @megaworld_corp’s Uptown Mall in BGC. @Amadeus_IOM

This is one of those casual observations I’ve made over the years re @MMDA’s road signs. It’s the wrong color. White on green is for directional signs. This is clearly regulatory in nature and should be black on white. The example I came up with is MUCH clearer. @Amadeus_IOM

Thought of that too. Only problem is that if we don’t get their go-ahead/support, all our efforts may be for naught. Let’s see if they accept our generous volunteerism. @MMDA? Ball is in your court.

Is a left allowed here or not, @MMDA? The sign CLEARLY says it’s not but vehicles are routinely allowed to make a left. Location: C5 SB at Orchard Road near Eastwood City, QC. Would appreciate clarity on this. Salamat.

Buti pa ang @PasigInfo at @MMDA. Kahit nakukulitan sila sa akin, sumasagot sa mga email ko. Ang @MakatiTraffic, waley!! 🦗
