Motorists in Quezon City and Makati should start mapping out alternate routes with the complete or partial closure of several U-turn slots starting on Oct. 10. According to a Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) traffic advisory, two U-turn slots on C-5, the one on the southbound lane in the Eastwood area (in front of BMW) will be closed from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. while the one at the intersection of Katipunan and Boni Serrano Avenues will be closed from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Another U-turn slot on Quezon Avenue between Examiner and Scout Borromeo Streets will be permanently closed to traffic.
The MMDA also plans to close the U-turn slot on Edsa near Kalayaan flyover in front of Gil Puyat Avenue in Makati City from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. MMDA Chair Francis Tolentino said the closure of the U-turn slot on Quezon Avenue was based on the suggestion of the Quezon City government which conducted a study of traffic flow in the area.” (The city government) found out that the traffic volume near the U-turn slot was heavy especially during rush hours,” Tolentino said.
