00:00In NLEX, we got an update on the traffic situation from Bernard Ferrer, live. Bernard.
00:09The traffic buildup of motorists going out and in to NLEX Metro Manila is getting more and more intense nowadays.
00:20In the monitoring of the North Luzon Expressway NLEX,
00:23since this morning, the number of vehicles passing through the expressway has increased.
00:28Particularly in the Northbound, Balintawak to Maycawayan area.
00:31Also in the Southbound, Metro Manila to Bocaue to Valenzuela area.
00:37Ambulance doesn't need to deploy because the traffic is manageable.
00:42If we want to implement a counter flow to speed up the traffic to the Northbound,
00:48we can also increase the volume of traffic to the Southbound.
00:54Nowadays, there are several accidents in NLEX.
00:57This includes a bus and a truck in the Southbound of Balagtas area.
01:01There was also a minor accident in Candabao Viaduct.
01:04NLEX ensured the preparation of precautionary measures for such incidents.
01:09Aside from our deployment of personnel,
01:13our emergency response teams, such as our tow trucks,
01:20have been deployed here in the expressway so that they can respond quickly.
01:28Motorists are instructed to check their batteries, lights, oil, water, brakes,
01:36air, gas, engine, tire, and self.
01:40From December 31 at 10 p.m. to January 1 at 6 a.m.,
01:45a toll holiday or free toll will be implemented in NLEX.
01:51At this time, motorists are already lining up outside Metro Manila in Balintawak Toll Plaza.
01:59But the situation is still manageable.
02:02The traffic in the RFID lane is fast,
02:06so NLEX is encouraging motorists to place RFID stickers so that they can travel faster in the expressway.
02:15But for the majority of motorists, NLEX is still okay.
02:18Motorists are still able to travel faster at this time.
02:22Back to you, Maan.
02:24Thank you very much, Bernard Perer.
