00:00Total rehabilitation in EDSA is expected to not only reduce the traffic load, but also reduce the number of accidents.
00:10Bernard Ferrer is live in the center of the news.
00:16Angelic, you're right, the road accident in EDSA is expected to be reduced.
00:21In a moment, we will talk about the total rehabilitation according to a group.
00:31A group is expected to reduce the number of road accidents in EDSA.
00:35In a moment, we will talk about the total rehabilitation that is seen as a solution to the ongoing problem of road accidents.
00:43According to Agustin Lagman, the trustee of the Automobile Association of the Philippines,
00:49accidents are limited because the condition of the road is not good.
00:53If you think about it, it's a road accident.
00:55You will fall down.
00:56If you fall down, you will be hit by a car.
01:01So, there can be an accident.
01:04Meanwhile, if there is no road accident, you will continue.
01:07Aside from safety, the road of EDSA vehicles is expected to be repaired after the road is rehabilitated.
01:16This will help to reduce the traffic congestion and speed up the travel of motorists.
01:23Agustin Lagman hopes that the traffic enforcement in EDSA will also fix this.
01:28If there are people who violate the traffic rules and you don't catch them,
01:34they will continue to violate the traffic rules.
01:37The violation of the traffic rules of other motorists will cause accidents.
01:46In March, the rehabilitation of EDSA Southbound will begin and is expected to end this year,
01:53as part of the drainage and pavement.
01:56Partial road closures have been implemented on ADB Avenue, from Julia Vargas to Ortigas Avenue,
02:02as part of the road safety upgrades.
02:05This includes the improvement of pedestrian crossings and the construction of speed tables.
02:12This will improve the safety of pedestrians and facilitate their access to the road.
02:20The project is targeted for the next month.
02:23The group of motorists has called for the release of the traffic plan for EDSA Rehab,
02:31so that they can plan their trip.
02:36In the case of traffic, the movement of vehicles in the adjacent lane of EDSA Kamuning will be faster.
02:43Back to you, Angelique.
02:44Okay, so this is just a month, Bernard.
02:47What kind of total rehabilitation are they really talking about?
02:51Angelique, the rehabilitation of EDSA is long.
02:56But it will start in March, and EDSA's Southbound Lane will be the first.
03:04The rehabilitation will be done by phase, or segment.
03:12The rehabilitation will be done by segment.
03:14The rehabilitation cannot be done by the entire Southbound Lane,
03:19because it will cause heavy traffic.
03:24As for ADB Avenue, this will be done in February, the next month, Angelique.
03:32Okay, it's clear. Thank you very much, Bernard Ferret.
