WHEN TIME ON THE ROAD COULD BE SHORTENED






While riding a bus going through Edsa, I started to look at the problem of traffic and saw a simple solution which should really make so many happy. All the drivers have to do is sit through the traffic for thirty minutes and wait for their turn to move. Going South or going North, every driver has to endure the waiting.

Where is the key to solving the problem here? Just make EDSA one lane going South from 1630, the whole of Edsa. Then those going North will wait from ayala for their turn to move. Then at 1700, make the whole EDSA go North while those going South will wait for their turn starting at Quezon Ave. In this manner, drivers will know exactly when they will move and no longer wait for kingdom come to give them space in Edsa.

Thus, every thirty minutes, the two sides shall be taking alternate turns to use Edsa. All traffic lights shall follow the scheme. This should last only from 1630 to 2100.

Regular traffic scheme shall resume after 2100.

WIth his scheme, drivers can spend more productive time, solving ouzzles, listening to good music or the news as they know what time they should drive again.
