REGULATION ORDINANCE NO. 2009-217

AN ORDINANCE RE-ESTABLISHING PEDESTRIAN LANES AND STOP
LINES IN THE CITY OF ILOILO

Sponsored by Councilor Erwin J. Plagata, seconded by Councilors

Lyndon V. Acap and Jose S. Espinosa III

WHEREAS, among the many problems identified as contributing to traffic congestion \tl
the inadequacy of pedestrian lanes or the non-compliance to the use thereof, resulting to rampw
jaywalking in major thoroughfares.

WHEREAS, it has likewise been observed that the absence of stop lines in major
junctions and intersections result to a slow and disorderly flow of vehicles in said area oftentimes
resulting to interlocking of vehicles in junctions and intersections.

NOW, THERFORE, be it ordained by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City of Iloilo,

in session assembled, that:

ARTICLE I
DEFINITION OF TERMS

confined to an intersection for the sole purpose of allowing pedestrians to cross the street.

30 to 60 centimeters in width, placed across a street lane, approximately 3 meters before a
junction or intersection serving as a mandatory stop marker for vehicles given a stop signal.

placed under such overpass or in it's immediate vicinity (at least 100 meters
away).

C. No private person or entity can place pedestrian lanes in any street or road
