What are the real cause of traffic congestion in the Philippines? Well, I am going to discuss some causes of traffic congestion.. First cause of traffic congestion is lack of discipline of the drivers and the pedestrians. When you go out to the roads, you can noticed a lot of drivers who are not following the traffic sign, most of them are also neglecting the rules and regulations implemented by the government. How important following the rules and regulations on the road! Is it for our safety? Well everywhere you go has a rules and regulations to be follow even when you are on your own house. rules are made to be follow, traffic lights and traffic signs placed there to be our guide when we are travelling. If you refuse to obey, there will be a possibility that it will result to an accident and cause traffic congestion.
Next cause of traffic congestion was the growing number of vehicles inside and outside of metro-manila. A lot of cars, jeepneys, trucks etc. are still on the road even its already older than my grandparents. The Government shall make a law that will limit the use of vehicles for lifetime. According to LTFRB approximately more than 500 new vehicles are being registered everyday and only few are put on the junk. Growing number of vehicle is only a result of the poor public transportation in metro-manila. Its very inconvenient taking MRT and LRT . Trains itself have always problem on their mechanical. The flow of people have grown into its limitation because metro-manila is not only congested with vehicle but also in population that our public transportation is not eligible anymore holding the number of people commuting everyday. Nowadays, it is very affordable to have your own car. there are so many company offering a new car on a very affordable price by the use of installment or in full payment.
Next cause of congestion is the constructions of the roads and highways making the roads narrower. There are so many constructions along the way, building new skyways and reconstructions of the damage roads. The faster the traffic the faster our economy grow. Philippines is still in the third world country because of the slow moving economy due to traffic congestion. If we want to improve the traffic, first we need to know how to follow the rules implemented by our leaders and we need to be responsible enough to do our obligation in our country.
We can avoid traffic congestion if we were only knew how to be a responsible drivers,commuters and pedestrians. We need to put disciplines to ourselves because our economy depends on us.

Good post Mary Grace! I do believe that there is no respect on the road from drivers and pedestrians a like in the Metro. Coming from another country, that was the first thing I realized when on the car ride from the airport to my hotel.
ReplyDeleteGood points on alleviating traffic in the metro here.
