00:00 How are you doing, North Luzon Expressway travelers?
00:04 Live from North Luzon Expressway or NLEX,
00:07 I'm here with Oscar Oida.
00:09 Oscar?
00:10 Yes, Mel.
00:12 From today until tomorrow night,
00:15 the traffic will be slow on the long North Luzon Expressway.
00:25 The condition of the vehicles and the long wait is a problem.
00:30 According to some of the motorists we talked to,
00:32 they are waiting for the expected traffic here on the North Luzon Expressway.
00:38 It's expected.
00:40 So, of course, we have to be patient and careful.
00:43 We have to check the vehicle's readiness,
00:46 if it's okay, the things that we need, like papers.
00:49 Some travelers are also waiting.
00:53 We only have fruit and pandesal.
00:55 I am ready.
00:57 We leave home early so we won't be trapped in the traffic.
01:01 That's what we do, like we did earlier.
01:03 Because we know that there's a lot of traffic.
01:06 But it's still early.
01:08 There's a line at the intersection and it's a mess.
01:10 The lanes are added.
01:12 The other direction RFID is converted.
01:16 And additional cash collection points are added to make it faster.
01:20 It looks like the travelers who can travel have already left.
01:24 Which is good so they won't be left behind until tomorrow morning.
01:30 It's expected that there will be a lot of motorists,
01:34 especially in the main toll plazas,
01:36 like Balintawak, Mindanao, and Saltarlac.
01:39 From this afternoon until tomorrow night.
01:42 The same will be the case from the afternoon of December 29 until tonight.
01:46 Expect slow traffic in Tarlac on December 25, 26, and January 1.
01:53 The same will be the case in Bukawe by afternoon until midnight of December 25 and December 26.
02:00 In the morning of December 27 and in the afternoon until midnight of December 29 and January 1.
02:07 In Enlex, we expect to have around 30,000.
02:11 But of course, during today and tomorrow, it may be a little higher than 10%.
02:16 Because it's a downpour.
02:18 According to this, more than 1,500 people of Enlex will be in traffic and will pass through the toll plazas.
02:27 Aside from the medical and tow trucks that are on standby.
02:31 All lanes are also open and all construction is suspended.
02:35 Except if emergency safety repairs are needed.
02:39 Because RFID is used 100%,
02:42 everyone is being advised to check their load balance properly to avoid accidents.
02:47 It should have been done yesterday.
02:49 But it's a little time-consuming because it was yesterday.
02:52 So that there will be no more accidents.
02:56 The trip will continue.
02:57 Meanwhile, Mel, based on the latest traffic update here along the North Luzon Expressway,
03:04 the slow traffic is already passing through Balintawak Toll Plaza heading to Valenzuela Northbound.
03:11 The same is also the case in Valenzuela to Maycawayan.
03:13 The situation in Santa Rita to Pulilan is also no different.
03:17 In South Maunle, the slow traffic is expected to pass through Balagtas approaching Bukawe.
03:23 Aside from the mentioned places, Mel, in the next few moments,
03:26 the continuous traffic will be expected in other parts of the North Luzon Expressway.
03:33 Mel?
03:34 Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
03:36 Oscar Oida!
