THE Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA) seized and impounded at least one abandoned motorcycle for illegally parking at Tiano-Borja Streets during its surprise sidewalk clearing operations on Thursday.
Lawyer Jose Edgardo Uy, Task Force "Hapsay Dalan" head, said they will conduct the clearing operations regularly to ease congested traffic.
Several owners of motorcycles and private vehicles were made to pay a fine of P1,500 for violating traffic rules.
Uy warned they will be inconsiderate to violators who will be caught illegally parking vehicles on the sidewalks.
"Dili lang unta nila i-parking ng ilahang mga sakyanan sa kilid lang sa agihanan, kapila naman nato ni sila pangsagdahon pero pag wala na ang mga personahe nato sa RTA, maghinay-hinay napud dayon na sila ug parking ug balik," Uy said.
"Kulang gyud ug disiplina ning atong mga motorista, sayop ang paggamit sa hazad light kay anha man sa tunga, this can of course cause traffic, mugamay ang dalan so syempre magka-abot na dayon sa intersection , buhol-buhol gyud ang resulta. We just hope that we, including the public, should work together hand-in-hand," Uy added.
Recently, RTA has hired 35 new traffic enforcers to help manage vehicular traffic which has been lately getting worse especially on peak hours.
