MMDA: SEA Games closing ceremony is expected to cause heavy traffic

The closing ceremony of SEA Games 30 is believed to lead to a bad traffic situation in which MMDA shares what you need to do to avoid being affected.

As we all know, today, the 30th SEA Games will make its last day in the Philippines. With the imposing of the “Stop and Go scheme” earlier, the very first phase of the event has not caused so many problems to the traffic overall.

That’s why when it comes to an end, we definitely have to worry about the worsening traffic. Foresee this, an excessively important announcement has been made by MMDA!

MMDA also stressed that during this period of time, the drivers also need to brace themselves carefully. The roads surrounding the New Clark Athletics Stadium will receive an intensive traffic volume which is especially EDSA and other main thoroughfares.

Also, the public, as well as private sectors, are also advised not to violate the yellow lane for a reason that, it will separate the road for a minimum of 114 buses with SEA Games delegates and their convoys to the venue.

“Convoys will use the yellow lane and inserts towards flyover, and tunnel/underpass while traveling along EDSA. Motorists are advised to avoid the yellow lane and give way to the convoy”

With the effort to resolve the foreseen situation, traffic personnel will simultaneously be deployed in some major locations to facilitate the convoys and support motorists.
