SOLUTION (Highway)

There are a variety of suggestions that will possibly address the never-ending issue of big cities in our

country when it comes to the transport system section and here are some of the following potential solution:

1.) Add more buses and limit other public transportation, such as jeepneys and UV express, on the

main roads.

Buses can handle a greater number of passengers than any other form of public

transportation, which is why not add more buses that move across Quezon City and make this a

mainstream transport, instead of making small vehicles that can transport fewer than 20

passengers travel on the main road? Perhaps it will reduce the number of vehicles that are likely to

affect the flow of traffic in the area

2.) Proper lanes for buses, motorcycles and cars

Make the center lane of the road exclusive to buses or make the loading and unloading

zone of buses on the center aisle and only create an underground path or footbridges that leads to

the bus or transit way for passengers. 1 st lane should be for the motorcycle exclusively and the 2 nd

and 3rd lane is for the other vehicle.

3.) Implementation of banning cars that has fewer than 3 passengers

It will clearly lessen the number of private vehicles that has 2 or less number of

passengers that travels through the main road which may contribute to minimize the

severe traffic congestion in the city. It must be strictly implemented especially during rush

hours that causing such situations.

3. Achieving effective enforcement

Urban transit systems consist of multiple modes of transport of which cars and
buses make up the largest portion, particularly in developing countries. Thus, theories
on the best means of allocating existing road spaces for cars and buses in city-centers
and suburban corridors in order to improve operational transport efficiency has become
a frontier research topic. Today, bus priority method, as one of the most widely used
Public Transport Priority strategies, are commonly recognized as effective in lowering
traffic congestion and reducing bus travel times. Public transport authorities, urban
planners/designers, and researchers dealing with public transport issues, need to
investigate existing methods in detail and assess relevant research before setting about
designing or implementing new policies.
1. Locating bus stop zones
Rights of way are is not practical in areas of high development densities and
ridership demands especially for dedicated bus ways or bus lanes. Lanes may be
located immediately at the curb or in an offset configuration, replacing the rightmost
travel lane on a street where parking is permitted. It provides easy access for bus
drivers and results in minimal delay to bus. It is simple in design, easy and inexpensive
for a transit agency to install.
2. Balancing the use of street space
Bus lanes will pre-empt street lanes. Buses will compete with general traffic flow,
curb parking and access and sometimes pedestrians for a limited amount of street
space. This may require demonstrating that sufficient capacity exists in the corridor to
accommodate one or more lanes for busses, without decreasing capacity for peak hour
vehicle traffic. Bus lane width should be determined based on the available street space
and the competing needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. The minimum width
of a curb side bus lane is 11 feet. The minimum width of an offset bus lane is 10 feet.
3. Achieving effective enforcement
Enforcement of parking and loading restrictions along many bus routes and bus
lanes is ineffective. Making merchants to relocate their positions is quite hard to
achieve. Curb side and offset bus lanes are subject to encroachment due to double-
parking, deliveries, or taxicabs. Strict enforcement is necessary to maintain their use
and integrity.
