QC bans trucks along 2 roads
MANILA, Philippines - The Quezon City government has passed a truck ban ordinance along the stretch of Sauyo and Old Sauyo Roads in a bid to decongest traffic in the area.
Trucks and other heavy motor vehicles – except for government-owned vehicles or those under contract with the city government – are banned from plying the two roads from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Ordinance 2572-2017 was signed into law by Mayor Herbert Bautista on March 13 after it was passed by the city council on Feb. 27.
The truck ban is expected to ease traffic in the two roads from Mindanao Avenue to Dahlia street in Barangay Fairview and Quirino Highway in Novaliches.
The two roads are being used by motorists as alternate routes and short cuts to and from Tandang Sora, Mindanao Avenue, North Luzon Expressway, Fairview, Quirino Highway, Commonwealth Avenue, Caloocan City and Bulacan.
Violators will be fined P5,000 or serve one year in jail.
