NU#11 Happy Travelling Ideas by JANE LABARRETE


Happy Traveling
During the holidays people opt to travel and traffic is always a major concern.  Traveling time usually doubles during this season because people are inclined to go and visit places. One of the most frustrating scenes when traveling to province is a pile of tricycles on high-way streets especially on provinces where tricycles move really slowly and a pile of frustrated cars that are eager to overtake these vehicles causing either traffic or accidents for drivers who take the risk to overtake. These are really common scenarios in provinces where tricycles are normally seen in highways. So how can we resolve this? An idea I have in mind is:

TRICYCLE ELEVATED LANES
These are extended lanes at the side where public transportation vehicles can lay over or a lane only intended to tricycles.  These are elevated sides to separate slow moving vehicles from the fast ones to avoid traffic especially on holidays where big bulk of people travel back to their home town. 4

LED REFLECTOR SIDE LIGHTS
During travel periods, some the roads lack lights on the side to avoid accidents. We all know that these can be pricey to put up in every side of the roads plus the cost added to electricity.  An idea is to have reflector on the sides to make use and reflect the lights from the cars and utilize it to light the side streets instead of using electricity. This LED reflector lights emits light cars and reflects to give light in the whole area. You don't just save cost but it is technically Eco-friendly as well.  

On the other hand, another idea I have in mind, since MMDA are very strict in implementing the color coding scheme we might as well help them to resolve traffic though a:

COLOR CODED CODING PLATE GLASSES
The idea to have a color coding plate glasses because technically the numbers can be small and cannot be seen at times in result a lot of motorist still can escape the coding the scheme. The glasses will still allow the plates to have uniform colors visually but wearing the glasses will give a different distinct color for those who are in coding. The enforcer can immediate identify far afar which vehicles are on coding by just wearing the glasses that immediately records and identifies cars who violates. It also records data immediately just in case the drivers escape and sends a letter for violation. This device can be helpful in lessening traffic and cars. It also enforces discipline for violators of the law. 4
