MMDA lifts number coding scheme for holidays

Mike Frialde - The Philippine Star

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced Saturday that the“number coding” scheme will be suspended from December 23 to January 4, 2015.
Meanwhile, motorists covered by the “number coding,” technically known as he Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP), can use the roads of Makati City from December 24 to 26; December 30 and 31; and on January 1 and 2, 2015.
The UVVRP is suspended across Metro Manila on weekends and during public holidays.

Under the UVVRP, vehicles with license plate numbers ending in 1 and 2 are not allowed in EDSA and on the major streets of Metro Manila from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and again between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Mondays.

Vehicles with license numbers ending in 3 and 4 are covered by the UVVRP on Tuesdays; 5 and 6 (Wednesdays); 7 and 8 (Thursdays) and 9 and 0 (Fridays).

Vehicles covered by the UVVRP for that day, however, are given the “window hours” of 10 am to 3 pm to use EDSA and the other major thoroughfares such as the C-5 Road, Roxas Boulevard and the Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, regardless of the cities covered.

There are no “window hours” in Makati City, and Las Pinas City while the cities of Marikina, Muntinlupa, Taguig and Paranaque do not implement the UVVRP. Pasig City, meanwhile, implements the window hours of between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

In Pasay City, the UVVRP is not implemented along the Ninoy Aquino Avenue, MIA Road, the Domestic Road, Sales Road and portions of Buendia Avenue.
