Motorcycle users that use Edsa bike lanes will be fined.
Due to a large number of motorcycle riders preventing designated lane usage, the MMDA intends to enforce traffic laws by fining P1,000 to those who enter the bicycle lanes along Edsa.
“The bicycle lane is reserved for cyclists or bikers and not for motorcycle riders,” the MMDA reminded the public on Sunday, adding that they should not be used as “fast lanes” by motorcycles.
The local administration of San Juan City, meanwhile, removed the bollards that had been placed along Ortigas Avenue, citing the MMDA's opinion that they had increased traffic and reduced road capacity. The local government said that it put bollards during the epidemic to support the public's need for safe and effective transportation choices.
Bollards are small posts that act as roadblocks.
In order to increase the safety of cyclists and pedestrians, the city of San Juan intends to replace bollards with cat's eye signs. The MMDA has discovered that the bollards increase traffic, decrease road capacity, and complicate maintenance. They also recommend creating shared lanes for the bike lane in areas of narrow roads.
