THE Philippine National Police (PNP) Highway Patrol Group (HPG) deployed additional personnel to man the Metro streets in anticipation of the holiday traffic.
HPG spokesperson Elizabeth Velasquez said they will also open four additional detour routes in the Mabuhay lanes for the motorists from the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) going to the airport or to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) without having to pass through the EDSA.
The additional Mabuhay lane routes are as follows:
-From NLEX Balintawak, take Samson Road C4 until you reach Roxas Boulevard going to destination
-From Balintawak, take A. Bonifacio passing through Dimasalang, Quezon Boulevard and Lawton until you reach Roxas Boulevard going to destination
-From Balintawak, take Mayon Avenue going to Welcome Rotunda to Vicente Cruz to Nagtahan to Osmeña Highway to SLEX.
-From Balintawak, take Araneta Avenue to N. Domingo to F. Manalo passing through Panaderos to Pedro Gil going to Quirino Avenue the Plaza Dilao going to Osmeña Highway to SLEX.
"About 300 HPG personnel is manning our streets now in the Metro, of course with the participation of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the local government units multipliers," she said.
However, Velasquez urged the motorists to take along with them additional patience when plying Metro streets particularly during the holiday rush. (Sunnex)
