CALBAYOG CITY – Samar First DEO’s Road Traffic Information Applications (RTIA)
team is doing their axle load survey at Barangay Cagsalaosao, Calbayog City. This a 24-hour,
8-day activity which is done annually to accurately acquire the information needed by the
district.

The axle load survey measures the capacity and gross vehicle weights of six-wheelers
and other bigger trucks passing through Daang Maharlika. Marlon Calagos, the district’s RTIA
coordinator led the survey.

This survey also serves as a basis in upgrading the thickness incorporated in the
program of work done in constructing highways. From 230 mm. thickness of arterial and
secondary roads, highways should follow the 280-300 cm. thickness which is the result of the
thorough study done by RTIA to have a better riding quality.
