00:00 The leadership of North Luzon Expressway has also increased as the response teams and police are ready to fight for the length of the expressway.

00:11 This is what Ryan Lesigue reported.

00:13 More than 1,500 traffic, toll and systems personnel were distributed by NLEX to toll plazas and patrol visibility to prepare the exodus of vehicles starting today.

00:28 In addition, emergency medical services and incident response teams will also deploy in their strategic areas.

00:36 Today, NLEX is expecting the latest traffic to NLEX.

00:42 That's why their group, August, has been at Balintawaktol Plaza since this morning.

00:47 From Batangas, Biahing Baguio and Sagara, they will go to Barbacada.

00:51 They want to experience a colder Christmas, that's why they will go to the north.

00:57 Actually, this is the first time we are out of town.

01:00 Normally, we are in Batangas, we are the ones who give Christmas to the children.

01:08 But now, we will try to go out of town.

01:13 And in fear of heavy traffic on the road, even though the sun is not yet rising, they are already going to Batangas.

01:21 Four days after Christmas, we will return to Batangas.

01:24 You are going to Batangas because you avoided the traffic jam later?

01:29 Yes, because of the heavy traffic in SLEX and NLEX.

01:34 Is it tiring to travel with heavy traffic?

01:36 It's very hot.

01:38 We still expect that during the holiday season, it will increase by 10 to 15 percent.

01:45 In our normal daily average, it's around 300,000 in NLEX, so it will increase by 10 to 15 percent.

01:54 In SETEX, it's around 65,000 in the normal daily average.

02:00 It is expected that the traffic will be heavy in Balintang Waka, Mindanao and Tarlactol Plaza from this afternoon until Saturday night.

02:09 On December 25, 26 and January 1, the traffic will be heavy in Tarlactol Plaza.

02:17 On Bukawi Exit, the traffic will be heavy from December 25 to 27, 29 and January 1 to 2.

02:25 If ever we need to counter-flow in situations where the direction is heavy,

02:31 we will choose the longer direction and we will balance on and off our counter-flow.

02:38 And to ease the traffic, the construction and closing of the roads in the length of NLEX until January 2 will stop.

02:47 The Motorist Assistance Program or the Safe Trip is also in effect.

02:52 I answer, we expect that the heavy traffic in NLEX will last until January 2.

02:58 Ryan Lizigues, for the country.
