00:00 Sorry, and the companies that run the expressway have spread solutions so that the car megadon that happened last Wednesday will not happen again.
00:09 The barrier-less system in NLEX and SLEX is included in the report of Mela Lesmora.
00:16 The traffic was so heavy that it was almost a staycation.
00:23 That's what the motorists experienced on the North Luzon Expressway this Holy Week.
00:28 The lawmakers did not like this, so the House Deputy Majority Leader for Communications Erwin Tulfo called for help regarding this,
00:38 in accordance with the House Speaker Martin Romaldes' order, along with the officials of the Toll Regulatory Board, North Luzon Expressway, and South Luzon Expressway.
00:48 In that discussion, the Metropolitan Pacific Tollways Corporation, which is responsible for NLEX, immediately asked for clarification on what happened.
00:56 They said that they have already identified the reasons why the situation got worse last Wednesday.
01:01 First, many people traveled even if their RFID was not enough or there was no load.
01:06 And second, the motorists really poured too much into the capacity of the expressway.
01:12 The good news is that they are already looking for a solution.
01:16 In the North, the capacity of the roads are already maximum.
01:22 So the next solution we are proposing is to have an elevated expressway on top of Balintawak Interchange all the way to Bukawe.
01:33 So we will be putting together a plan to submit to government, to TRB, a 2x3 elevated expressway from Balintawak all the way to Bukawe.
01:46 In the case of SLEX, even though it was not a sign of what happened last week, authorities have already laid down barriers to make the motorists' journey easier.
01:57 Our expansion is full blast.
01:59 The infrastructure needed for the much anticipated traffic, not just during this holiday, but maybe 5 to 10 years to come, is widening the SLEX.
02:09 Up to the star.
02:11 So the SLEX, which is 4x4, will now be 6x6. The 2x2 will now be 4x4.
02:19 And we are doing the extension of TR4, the SLEX, which is from Santo Tomas to Luzerna City.
02:25 The toll regulatory board is committed to developing ways to improve the service of tollways in the country.
02:34 In fact, their new projects are already ready. Including the implementation of the barrierless system that is expected to start in November.
02:44 We will implement sometime in June the cashless or contactless program, meaning we will have full cashless along tollways under TRB's jurisdiction.
02:54 And in July or thereafter, we will implement the interoperability phase 3, meaning we will have one account or one wallet with one RFID.
03:04 These two programs are designed to make the travel of the motorists along expressways convenient and efficient.
03:13 As well as we have a third program, namely the barrierless or the open road tolling system, which will further enhance the efficiency of the toll expressways.
03:24 In conclusion, Congressman Tulfo has approved the proposal of the agencies that are in charge of the expressways.
03:31 As for the RFID, the authorities are planning to give the power to the traffic enforcers of NLEX and SLEX to catch and arrest motorists who travel without a load.
03:44 So we will help them out. We will communicate with the Department of Public Works and Highways, with Secretary Bono after this.
03:51 And I will have to inform them because this is the instruction of the Speaker to resolve this issue.
03:56 Because there's another long weekend coming up next week. So that's what we also talked about it.
04:03 NLEX said that they will add more people to avoid another incident. But the last week was worse because all the people were resting.
04:13 In the next few days, NLEX and SLEX is expected to continue their efforts in other branches of the government to implement their plans.
04:24 These are some of the actions of the camera in the fulfillment of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s promise to resolve the problems of the country's traffic.
