Even the PNP-Highway Patrol Group (HPG) has seen for itself that the horrendous traffic along EDSA is more than just a matter of discipline among motorists.
PNP-HPG spokesperson Supt. Oliver Tanseco admitted that while all vehicles stay on their proper lanes, the usual traffic buildup still occurs due to the sheer number of cars plying EDSA.
“I think it’s more of a volume than discipline,” Tanseco told Karen Davila in an interview on ANC’s Headstart.
Tanseco, however, did not discount the role of discipline as a way to alleviate the worsening traffic situation in the metro.
“We cannot solve the volume, it’s a policy change. But at least it will be a zone of discipline for every motorist, not only for the Filipinos to see but for the world to observe,” he added.
Tanseco also urged the public to have an ‘attitude change’ toward the use of roads not only in EDSA but elsewhere. (ANC)
