Toll roads set for school opening traffic

June 05,2014

In anticipation of heavy flow of vehicles into and out of Metro Manila with the upcoming resumption of classes, the Skyway O&M Corp. (Somco), Manila Toll Expressways Systems Inc. (Mates) and Star Tollway Corp. (STC), operators of the Skyway System, South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and Star Tollway, respectively, are ready for their “Balik-Eskuwela” traffic operations from May 30 to June 16.

The South Tollway operators expect a buildup of vehicles at the entry and exit points of the three tollways when students return to Metro Manila from nearby provinces and vice versa.

To help ensure good traffic flow, additional traffic enforcers and motorcycle units will be deployed strategically inside the tollway and its vicinity, especially at identified entry/exit choke points, where ambulant tellers will be assigned during peak hours.

For assistance, motorists can call the Skyway System hotline at 7767777;  SLEx hotline at 0917-OURSLEx (687-7539); and STAR emergency numbers at 0917-5117827.
