MMDA to deploy traffic enforcers, rescue team near cemeteries

- Michael Punongbayan -

Some 1,200 traffic enforcers, medics, and road emergency personnel of the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will be manning traffic along roads leading to and from cemeteries this weekend.

Some are also being deployed near provincial bus stations where thousands of commuters are expected to converge beginning tonight.

MMDA general manager Robert Nacianceno said there will be no suspension of the Unified Vehicle Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) today and on Monday.

The number coding scheme, which bans both private and public vehicles from using Metro Manila roads and streets on specific days of the week depending on the last digit of the vehicle’s license plates, is implemented Mondays to Fridays.

It is automatically lifted during holidays and is not in effect during Saturdays and Sundays since less motorists are out on the streets during weekends.

Nacianceno said those coming home from the provinces on Monday on board vehicles bearing license plates ending in 1 and 2 should make use of the UVVRP’s window hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
