                    [Summary] => The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has started removing illegally constructed street humps all over the metropolis.


MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando said there are several humps that were installed without the necessary permits from the local government units. These humps slow down the movement of vehicles even in areas where these are unnecessary. Specifically, he said the humps hamper the movement of ambulances and fire trucks when they are responding to emergencies.

This now prevents unsuspecting motorists from being jarred and their suspension systems unnecessarily strained, when they suddenly encounter them, especially at night, as these yellow caution stripes properly warned beforehand.

The authorities are utterly ineffective in stopping this rampant random practice not only in main streets of subdivisions but in main public thoroughfares as well. And to make matters worse, aside from being in the wrong places, most of these "speed humps" are not visibly painted in order to warn unsuspecting motorists.

For a million or two million depreciated pesos, even a self-respecting Metro Manilan might be tempted to forget about his public shame and thus acknowledge his own city as Ripley’s probable record holder.
