New traffic chief

Enad said that since he assumed office last month, he has been taking steps to achieve a better traffic situation in the southern Cebu town, including penalizing a truck company for the traffic congestion caused by their truck that got stalled on the highway.

Enad’s administration is also moving to approve ordinances to impose stiffer penalties for stalled vehicles and other road obstructions, as well as to regulate the hours that trucks can use their highways. (PR)
