Tentative Title A STUDY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE “NO
GARAGE, NO CAR” POLICY
Alignment to Research Transportation development and traffic management
Agenda Theme
Background information The main framework of the bill would require anyone who
(What is known) wants to purchase a car to have proof that they have ample
space to park their vehicle that isn’t a.) The sidewalk, and
b.) Blocking other car owners from accessing the road
itself.

The basic aim of the bill is to prevent the congestion in the

city, and part of that is allowing drivers access to side
streets and other roads that might otherwise be blocked off
or made narrow by other owners parked on said roads.

There is also the conversation of the inclusion of PUVs, as

some privately owned public transport vehicles also end up
parked the same way as privately owned ones.

Background information In Baguio City, many of the streets are riddled with cars
(What are the gaps) parked along the sides of roads. These parked vehicles
contribute to the increasing traffic congestion within the city
streets especially during peak hours of traffic. Mayor
Mauricio Domogan urged the city council to pass a
measure that strictly ban the use of city streets, particularly
in the barangays, as parking areas for private vehicles. He
said that some city roads are being widened not to serve as
parking spaces but to ease traffic flow in response to the
perennial traffic problem in the Summer Capital.

The implementation of the policy is not well enforced within

the city and seeking its strict compliance is becoming a
 necessity in order to reduce congestion of roads and city
streets.

Objective of the Study The study aims to determine the current situation of
occurrences of vehicles parked alongside roads and gauge
their effect in causing more traffic congestion.
Proposed System A proposed policy enforcing the prevention of vehicles
parked alongside the roads is desired to be achieved and
implemented within the city to provide more capacity to
increased traffic volume and to lessen congestion of the
roads due to traffic especially during peak hours.
