Kidding aside, dadalawa lang yan:

2. dinaanan ng overloaded truck...

Rampant thievery of steel gratings alarms DPWH

18 Oct 2012 Printer-Friendly Version


The Quezon Avenue underpass opened just a month ago, yet the rampant thievery of its steel grating covers has forced the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to seek help from police authorities and the general public.

According to DPWH secretary Rogelio Singson, public vigilance and intensified patrols and surveillance of police officers--especially at night--are necessary to stop the unlawful activities of some unscrupulous individuals that put the safety of motorists and commuters at risk.

"Steel rail guards, signboard poles, and bridge metal markers are often the target of the thieves in the provinces," said Singson. "But recently, steel gratings are now also being stolen in Metro Manila. A week after the underpass's inauguration, thieves began stealing the steel grating at the eastbound portion of the G. Araneta/Quezon Avenue Interchange Project in Quezon City. The replacement of the stolen steel grating has to be carried out immediately by the DPWH Quezon City 2nd District engineering office so they won't hamper the smooth flow of traffic."

The steel gratings are installed across national roads, and they serve as water inlets during *******ial downpours to prevent floodings, Singson explained. But with the steel gratings stolen, the reinstallation of replacement ones has disrupted the flow of traffic through the underpass. The DPWH explained that if the installation of the replacement steel gratings are not undertaken immediately by its maintenance crew, the uncovered gaps may damage vehicles and endanger the lives of motorists.

Singson warned that if the rampant stealing of government-installed facilities will continue to plague national roads, this would result in the dramatic increase of road accidents.

Salamat sa MMDA for closing the U turn slot in front of Sto Domingo. No more idiots coming from Biak na Bato cutting across Q ave just to get to make a u turn...

There should be a shoot-to-kill order for people spotted stealing steel / iron stuff from roadways.

There should be a shoot-to-kill order for people spotted stealing steel / iron stuff from roadways.

It's a common site in Araneta Avenue where huge trucks pass through, when the stop light turns red, these kids will go across every truck, spotting what can be 'salvaged' or stolen.

I left a thank you note in MMDA FB page. Also added the suggestion regarding Speaker Perez. Yan yung street closest sa bwiset na uturn slot sa mabuhay rotunda. I remember they tried putting a barrier but it caused more accidents. Then they made it one way. I wonder why it became a two way street again and the problem just cameback.

sana nga yung mga vehicles from e.rod instead na dumirecho sa rotunda then u-turn eh dun nalang mag-left turn sa stoplight after rotunda para matanggal na yung u-turn slot at barriers sa dulo ng e.rod.
