BAGUIO CITY \u2014 The traffic situation in this city is much better compared to the previous holidays despite the doubling of the number of people and vehicles a day after Christmas.<\/p>\n

Senior Superintendent Ramil Saculles, Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) director, said based on their assessment, the number of vehicles plying the city roads doubled, which could also mean additional thousands of people in this mountain resort.<\/p>\n

Despite this, he said, lighter traffic is being experienced as they continue to enhance the traffic management capability of their personnel, particularly those assigned at the BCPO\u2019s Traffic Management Office.<\/p>\n

As observed early Tuesday morning, vehicular traffic on the roads at the city\u2019s central business district was not as heavy as during the previous holidays when a standstill was experienced by motorists, and commuters had difficulty taking a cab or jeepney.<\/p>\n

Around 3 p.m., there was slower movement of vehicles but only in tourist destination areas such as at Leonard Wood Road going to the Botanical Garden, and at Pacdal Circle that leads to Wright Park, Mansion House and Mines View Park.<\/p>\n

Prior to the holidays, the BCPO and the city government conducted numerous coordinating meetings to iron out plans in preparation for the arrival of thousands of tourists this Yuletide Season.<\/p>\n

Saculles said they are concentrating on 25 critical areas in the city which are affected by the five major points — Session Road rotunda, the rotunda at Maharlika at the foot of Session, the \u201cY\u201d shape overpass, \u201cO\u201d shape overpass and the Department of Tourism intersection which when unmanaged and clogged, leads to the build-up of traffic in 25 other areas in the city.<\/p>\n

He added that they have shut-off the streetlights at the central business district as their use during peak season further aggravates the situation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOur streetlights were installed and synchronized based on a vehicle count conducted in 2009. The present situation is very different due to the number of vehicles.<\/p>\n

Saculles added that they have already proposed to the city government adjustment of the streetlights based on the current vehicle count to conform to the traffic environment.<\/p>\n

Likewise, he mentioned of their plea to the SM Mall management to consider giving a portion of their property adjacent to Session Road to the city government to be used by motorists for maneuvering of vehicles in order to prevent traffic congestion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope they will consider our request because it will help smoothen the flow of traffic at upper Session Road rotunda,\u201d Saculles said. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
