We conducted this case study to suggest solutions from the problem of
traffic congestion in Rizal Avenue.
3. 1.1 Background
4. 1.2 Objective of the Study Many studies of traffic congestions have shown
various factors that influence the flow of traffic. Road shave become more
congested, commuting time and distance lengthened, congestion, and
comfort level of public transport decreased and accidents increased.
The research principally aims at investigating the effectivity ofthe newly
implemented projects and policies as well as the capabilities of TMC officials.
Hence the following questions were formulated:
1. Is the present management capable in administering its function as a
government authority?
2. Upon the implementation of u-turns, Is there any improvement of traffic
flow?
3. What are the major causes of traffic build-up?

23. 3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN Descriptive method was used in this general
procedure, the method describes the nature of a situation as it exists at the
time of the study and explore the course of a particular phenomenon
(Travers, 1978). It has for its main purpose the description of phenomena.
24. 3.2 SAMPLES AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUES: The subject of this study are
the vehicles passing through the EDSA and Quezon Avenue. The respondents
were selected based on any of the following:
A regular trip maker
A Car user
A passenger
An MMDA official
25. 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION: A series of interviews, observations and hand-out
questionnaires were given in this study. The questionnaires were in two
forms, the English and Tagalog version. The former was translated into
vernacular so as to conform with the common people. Interview Guide was
also made to come up with an organized interview
26. 3.4 PROCEDURES ROAD SURVEYS Road surveys were done to have a
deeper understanding about the problem. The researchers crossed
overpasses and examined the effects of Yellow Lanes, U-turns and speed of
the flow of vehicles. Likewise investigations of the most frequently
encountered problems were observed.
27. INTERVIEWS
1ST Interview (Dec. 15, 2003) MMDA, Traffic Engineering Centre

28. DISTRIBUTION OF QUESTIONNAIRES Places visited: Bus Terminals in:
Baclaran and Araneta Jeepney Terminal in: Patranco People who frequent the
avenue were also given questionnaires.
29. The researchers accomplished a total of 55 questionnaires,30 came from
drivers and conductors; and 25 from the public The pie graph below shows
the distribution, togetherwith the corresponding percentage. Respondents
Drivers & Public Conductors 45% 55%
30. Chapter 4 Results and DiscussionsThe succeeding discussions were based
on the questionnaires
31. Question: 1.1 Is the present management of managing the traffic along
the avenue? Fig.1 Response to the capability of the MMDA management NO
aa 40.38 % 59.63% YESThe difference between choices is 19.24% in favor of
the MMDA.

officials? Fig.2 Response to graft and corruption among traffic officials NO
14.81% 85.19% YESGraft and corruption is rampant with a difference of
70.38%
33. Question: 2.1 If you are going to choose are you in favor of the
implementation of U- turns or the traditional method which uses traffic lights?
Fig.3 Response of drivers and conductors to the Fig.4 Response of the general
public to the implementation of U-turns implementation of U-turns Traditional
U-turns Method Traditional U-turns 25% 75% Method 32% 68% Traditional
method which uses stoplights was favored by the drivers and conductors
rather than the U-turn slots.
34. Question: 2.2 Are concrete barriers intended for this scheme (u-turn)
prone to accident? Fig.4 Response of drivers and conductors to the Fig.5
Response of general public to the safety of safety of concrete barriers used in
U-turns concrete barriers used in U-turns NO YES 42.86% 65.52% 57.14%
34.48% NO YESNote that the two responses of the two groups are almost
identical
35. Question: 2.3 Are the spaces provided for u-turn slots enough in
accommodating turning vehicles? Fig.7 Response of drivers and conductors to
Fig.7 Response of general public to the the availability of spaces availability
of spaces NO 24.14% YES 40% 60% 75.86% NO YES Note that the affirmative
choice predominates
36. Question: 2.4 After reading the sign WALANG TAWIRAN, NAKAKAMATAY
will you: Fig.8 Response on "cross the road the road" vs. "take the strenous
pedestrian footbridge" taking the pedestrian crossing footbridge the road the
road 9.09% 90.91%With the above response there is a possibility that
accident can be prevented. The outcome was dominated by the second
choice with a result of +81.82%.
37. Question: 2.5 Are the fences (located along EDSA)capable of discouraging
pedestrians from occupying the avenue? Fig.9 Response on capability of
fences in discouraging pedestrians from occupying the avenue YES 75% 25%
NO The fences are effective in discouraging the pedestrian from occupying
the avenue.
38. Question: 3. Along the avenue, What are the things that dismay you?
Things that dismay the respondents Others Improper driving etiquette Too
46. 3. That the most serious cause of traffic build-up is indiscriminate loading
and unloading of public transport which in return puts to waste the huge
investment made for traffic management measures. Thus, it is recommended
that road user view point should be further enhanced during the planning
stage.4. Newly-installed infrastructures intended for the pedestrians impair
the possibility of accident.5. That Yellow Lane Scheme shows a favorable
impact to the vehicles. It is recommended to implement this scheme strictly
for smooth flow of traffic.
47. 6. To cope with problem in traffic congestions, there is a need to
concentrate on the development and improvement of the public transport
system. This is with hope that selected improvements might promote the
mode shift of a considerable private vehicle users to Mass Transit to reduce
traffic congestion significantly. Thereby recommending the following: Strict
regulation of car ownership No garage, no car policy Higher fees on
parking areas
