MMDA: Violators of 60 KPH Speed Limit will be Slapped with PHP1,000 Fine

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) warns drivers or motorists who insist on violating the 60 kilometer-per-hour speed limit along the EDSA highway and other major roads in Metro Manila will be slapped with a PHP1,000 fine for every offense they make.

MMDA has set the speed limit in its published Regulation No. 19-001, after learning that “vehicular accidents which occur in the major thoroughfares of Metro Manila can be largely attributed to over-speeding.”

According to ABS-CBN, the following 60-kph speed limit is imposed on the following roads:

Circumferential Roads

• Recto Avenue
• Pres. Quirino Avenue
• Araneta Avenue
• EDSA
• C.P. Garcia Avenue
• Southeast Metro Manila Expressway

Radial Roads

• Roxas Boulevard
• Taft Avenue
•  South Luzon Expressway
• Shaw Boulevard
• Ortigas Avenue
• Magsaysay Boulevard / Aurora Boulevard
• Quezon Avenue / Commonwealth Avenue
• A. Bonifacio Avenue
• Rizal Avenue
• Del Pan / Marcos / Mc Arthur Highway

Motorists who drive trucks and buses are not covered by the new rule.

Meanwhile, the MMDA will start implementing the speed limit rule on April 9.
