OVER a hundred vehicles were cited for violations as authorities on Monday started removing obstructions on the so-called Mabuhay Lanes, a network of alternative routes for motorists who want to avoid Edsa during the holiday season.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said 99 motorists were fined P200 each for illegal parking, obstruction and disregarding traffic signs, while 13 vehicles whose owners were not immediately found were towed to an impounding area at Ultra, Pasig City.
Aside from vehicles, MMDA teams also removed structures like basketball posts, food stalls, billboards and even pet cages, said recently appointed MMDA Chair Emerson Carlos. The Mabuhay Lanes should be free of parked vehicles and other obstructions from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., he added.
A list and a map of the lanes are available at mmda.gov.ph. Maricar B. Brizuela
