Pinoy's Jeepney Goes Electric

The electric jeepney or E-jeep that runs on electricity is now more environmentally friendly than ordinary vehicles. A hoorah for everyone because this will surely lessen emissions from vehicles.

Reports have said that test runs started as early as mid 2007. Makati CBD is the pioneer city to adopt this technology. The picture below shows the existing Makati Green Route.

I am looking forward to more e-jeeps plying the Metro Manila streets. How about you? =)

Road Traffic Signs

There are insistent searches on traffic signs, different traffic signs, photos, and or pictures of road traffic signs in the Philippines in Transportation Engineering Philippines. Now, engineer-einjel gives you these pictures of road traffic signs in the Philippines.

These pictures of road traffic signs in the Philippines were taken inside the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) campus. UPD together with some private sectors, have launched UP Traffic Model Zone that aims to make the UP-Diliman campus a model of an ideal road traffic management zone. This is why this place is the best area to take photos of different road traffic signs.

Jeepney and Bus Bay

LOCATION: in front of Ever Gotesco, Commonwealth Ave.

NOTE/S: Most PUVs do not use this jeepney and bus bay (an MMDA project) instead they load and unload passengers before the facility. Is this due to bad driver behaviour? some mistakes in its design?

C5 Kalayaan Elevated U-turns

This is the newly constructed elevated u-turns in C5-Kalayaan intersection. The MMDA has been bragging about this first ever in the world structure despite some negative assessments by transport experts. Hopefully, this would indeed solve the traffic congestion problems encountered in the area for relatively long time.

Here are some photos obtained during site inspection:

Pedestrian Crossing Timer

LOCATION: Bonifacio Global City

NOTE/S: This is the first time I saw a timer for pedestrians crossing the streets. Most streets in BGC have this timer. Is this a new device that Filipinos can rely on to prevent pedestrian road accidents? What do you think?
