TRAFFIC ENGINEERING

1. Operation of the Traffic Signal System - MMDA, through the Traffic Engineering Center, maintains and operates the Traffic Signal System in 468 signalized intersections. Out of this number, 40 are currently non-operational, since the signalized intersections have been affected by various road construction activities.

2. Installation of Footbridges – Part of the MMDA traffic infrastructure program is to install footbridges for pedestrians and commuters alike. This not only ensures the safety of pedestrians but would also provide unhampered traffic flow. Initially, footbridges at the intersection of EDSA/Aurora Boulevard and at Commonwealth Avenue are being constructed.

3. Installation of Waiting Sheds and Urinals – The waiting sheds are situated in loading and unloading areas to provide some comfort for the commuters and to let people know where they should stay when waiting for their rides.

The urinals are likewise installed in strategic areas in line with the efforts to still discipline and order in the major thoroughfare.
