Traffic Bulletin 05 August 2008date posted: 2008-08-05 13:16:02
MMDA implemented changes in the traffic flow on Katipunan without notice at 10:55 this morning. This caused heavy traffic along Katipunan and on campus. Changes implemented by MMDA were:
- Closed U-turn 1 (in front of National Bookstore) and U-turn 2 (between Ateneo’s Gate 3.5 and Miriam College’s Gate 1).
- Relocated U-turn 1 to the U-turn under flyover.
- Relocated U-turn 2 to the corner of Katipunan and B. Gonzales Street.
U-turn 1 being closed by MMDA. Vehicles must now take U-turn under the flyover
Original U-turn 2 blocked with orange barrier and new U-turn at the corner of Katipunan and B. Gonzales with concrete barriers
According to an unofficial MMDA source, this new scheme is experimental. In the meantime, the community is advised to note this new traffic scheme in Katipunan.
Ateneo motorists are requested to refrain from making a U-turn immediately after Gate 3.5 during rush hour. Moving towards the U-turn slot from Gate 3.5 would cut across the path of northbound vehicles and risk being hit by a speeding vehicle and also blocking vehicles entering Miriam College’s Gate 1.
Traffic may be heavier than usual at Gate 2 tomorrow morning as motorists adjust to the new traffic scheme. It is advisable to come earlier than usual.
