“A one-way traffic flow is the most
efficient traffic circulation scheme for BGC’s street grid network because it
maximizes the width of the street that is available for traffic, reduces the
conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians at intersections, and minimizes the time
that vehicles and pedestrians are stopped at traffic signals. Overall, BGC
should become less congested and faster to travel in with a one-way traffic
scheme” said Bonifacio Estate Services Corporation General Manager, Jun Galvez.
BGC, as one of the country’s top central
business and lifestyle districts, is rapidly developing with high-rise
condominiums, offices, shopping malls, entertainment centers, museums, and
educational institutions. These developments attract traffic from all over
Metro Manila and in addition, a large volume of pass-by traffic between C-5,
EDSA and Makati passes through BGC which creates congestion during rush hours.
The one-way traffic scheme is intended to
address this large volume of vehicles that go to and pass through BGC. A similar
one-way traffic scheme was implemented in the Makati CBD in the past which
reduced traffic congestion and improved travel time in the area.
To make sure that the new one-way scheme
will become effective, BGC will continue its existing wheel clamping and towing
operations to curb illegal street parking and keep its major streets free of
obstructions. To further reduce the incidence of illegal parking, BGC recently
launched an app for both iOS and Android devices to help motorists easily find
parking spots within the city.
