CCTO reminds road event organizers to secure permit
CEBU, Philippines — The Cebu City Transportation Office has reminded the organizers of various activities to be held on the roads to secure special permit.
The office received reports of upcoming activities that have no application for special permits yet.
"Among balikon, sa pagkakaron bawal pa ang mga dagko nga mga panghitabo kun walay special permit gihatag sa organizer. Ang bisan unsa nga panghitabo dapat makakuha og approval sa atong EOC, CCPO ug sa CCTO," read the city's traffic office statement.
The CCTO said that it would be better for organizers to just follow the process for the welfare of everyone.
"Palihug lang sa pagsunod sa saktong proceso sa Cebu City nga isa ka highly urbanized city. Ato ning gibuhat para malikayan ang disgrasya ug isa pa, ga implementar kita sa atong speed limit ordinance (C.O.2612)," added the CCTO statement.
Meanwhile, the CCTO has also advised the public to follow traffic signs as it intensifies its campaign against illegal parking and other violations.
In a statement posted on its social media account, the CCTO said it is important to observe traffic signs at all times to help ease traffic congestion and avoid accidents.
"Lisud jud diay na sabton ang signage nga no left turn gikan sa 6-9 sa buntag og 4-7 sa hapon? O mamasin lang jud nga malipat ang atong enforcer?" the CCTO Facebook post said.
The city’s traffic office has issued a total of 11,073 citation tickets in the month of October, a figure higher compared to the 9,612 in the month of September.
The most common violations include disregard of traffic signs, no registration, expired registration, no license, among others.
"Bisan paman sa sige natong pahimangno nga dapat kompletohon nato ang atong mga papeles sa dili pa e-byahi sa kadalanan ang mga sakyanan pero atong nabantayan nga daghan lang gihapon ang wala nituman niini," CCTO added.
CCTO has been conducting surprise operations due to several complaints from the public regarding illegally parked vehicles.
City Ordinance (CO) 1657 or the Clamping Ordinance prohibits illegal parking on the roads. Violators will be issued citation tickets and will be fined P1,500. — GMR (FREEMAN)
