DRY RUN FOR ‘PUTIN’ LANES Traffic flow along Edsa comes to a crawl during a dry run for the Apec summit. Two lanes—dubbed “Putin lanes,” between Shaw Boulevard and Mall of Asia—are dedicated to vehicles of Apec delegates and staff. Russian President Vladimir Putin will stay at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel on Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City. NIÑO JESUS ORBETA
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has removed steel fences and concrete barriers along a portion of the southbound lane of Edsa in Quezon City and replaced them with plastic barriers. This would allow MMDA traffic constables to modify the width of the designated lanes for buses and private cars as the need arises, according to MMDA officer in charge and general manager Tim Orbos. The adjustment was made following an assessment of the traffic situation on Edsa from Timog Avenue to P. Tuazon Boulevard, Orbos said. It supplmented MMDA’s implementation of the “nose in, nose out” policy for bus terminals located along Edsa. —Jovic Yee
