00:00From now until tomorrow, motorists are still expecting to enter Metro Manila after a long vacation.
00:08This is the live report of Vell Custodio. Vell?
00:14It is expected that 10% higher than the daily average of vehicles entering the North Luzon Expressway at this time.
00:23They are the ones who are chasing to return to Metro Manila from the provinces during the holiday season.
00:30According to NLEX Head of Traffic Operations Robin Ignacio, if the daily average of vehicles passing through the North Luzon Expressway is more than P300,000,
00:43it may increase to more than P30,000 from earlier at 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. later.
00:51NLEX is particularly monitoring the two-lane stretch from Dau to Mexico, routes to Bukawe, Marilao, Mecawayan-Tol Plaza, and Harbor Lake Interchange to Carujatan.
01:02Based on the observation of NLEX Traffic Operations, even though there are still a lot of non-RFID stickers,
01:09the number of vehicles entering the Tol Plaza is still fast.
01:12But often, there is a slight traffic in the cash lanes in Balintawak and Bukawe-Tol Plaza.
01:18NLEX barely recorded an insufficient RFID balance in the past few days.
01:24In Edsa, there is already a traffic buildup in the northbound lane of North Edsa to Balintawak.
01:30When it comes to Edsa-Balintawak, until the entrance of NLEX, the traffic flow is already loose.
01:35In the live monitoring of NLEX Corporation, the traffic flow of Mecawayan Interchange Bridge and New San Fernando Interchange Bridge is already slowing down.
01:45Meanwhile, just yesterday at 3 p.m., there was a road crash in Dau Interchange Southbound that resulted in a 2.4-kilometer traffic buildup.
01:56According to the leadership of NLEX, the roads are already site-cleared and passable.
02:02The leadership of NLEX gave instructions to the passengers.
02:06We hope that our motorists are prepared before they travel.
02:13It means that they checked that their vehicles are in good condition.
02:19I hope that the drivers are also in good condition, not drunk, and have enough rest.
02:27Because when we have an incident, it builds up fast.
02:30Most of our motorists are drunk.
02:34So to avoid incidents, we hope that they are prepared.
02:38Again, for those who do not have FID stickers, they can use them.
02:46If they have FID stickers, make sure that there is enough load so that there will be no problem for our toll classes.
02:55For the traffic update, there is already a slight traffic buildup in Balintawaktol Plaza, especially on its right side.
03:04Meanwhile, NLEX Lingunan Exit has been closed from January 8 to February 8 to allow the construction of Lingunan Southbound Entry Ramp.
03:15That is why motorists are advised to use alternative routes such as Paso de Blas.
03:21Lingunan Southbound Entry Ramp is expected to open on April 13, 2025.
