I don't think so. The bigger problem is the need for a creative spirit to tackle the problem.
Yesterday, I shifted from going home from UP Village via East Avenue going to Kamuning and thus passing through EDSA, to gojng bak to the QMR Circle and taking a ride in a UV UV going to Quiapo and passing thru Quezon Ave. and getting off at Welcome Rotonda. Thereafter, My companion and I took a tricycle to go around and be unloaded at the opposite side to take another tricycle at would bring us home.
And somhow do we solve the traffic in EDSA?
When I went to New York City, and was about to go home to take a flight at the airport, my far-away cousin, Mr. Cubillan, drove me from their home at Queens. His car was running nicely though quite old. You see, he is an airplane mechanic and so I think he knew the ins and outs of fixing his car.
So we were passing through a very wide lane when suddenly he stopped in the middle of the road. I asked why and he replied, the traffic enforcers shall allow the opposite direction cars to take over the whole lane, both directions so that slow traffic can be avoided. In other words, the road became just a one-direction traffic.
Ganun pala ang sagot sa traffic. Bigayan ng lanes.After fifteen minutes, the other direction would take over all the lanes.
Am I making sense? Let us send these people of the Traffic Management Group or TMG to LA and let them study the techniques of solving traffic there. Send them to other parts of the globe and observe how the roads are managed.
You see Folks, the vehicle technology came tomour country without our knowledge of how they should be handled on the streets. Akala natin, papindut-pindot lang ng buton para maging pula, dilaw o berde and mga traffic lights. Yun pala, kailangpa rin ng new techniques.
Otherwise, let us convert the skyways to train tracks so we can have mass transports and people will no longer have any need for private vehicles.
