Some challenges posed by the recent concreting of road

Wheels of Happiness

Some 80 million were spent by DPWH in improving the drainage and road network at Carebi and Kalayaan.   Less problem with flooding.

However some challenges are facing the residents:

1.  MDiaz is now being used as pass through thorugh by vehicles going to  Edenville, Baytown since this is a shorter distance to the reroute;

2.  Tricycles find it convenient if coming from Kalayaan to do a short cut via 2nd street since there are no humpbs at our street.

It poses danger though to us residents since this a residential subdivision    Some forget that tricycles (or even big bikes) roar by and they could be hit and/or run over.  We advised vehicle owners to park their vehicles inside their lot to avoid being bumped or scratched

Challenges from P80M road construction in our subdivision

Challenges from just finiished road construction

About  P80M were reportedly spent by DPWH in new road construction in our subdivision.  The trouble is since traffic was rerouted due to on going drainage construction at Baytown,   So many MC and MVs pass at MDiaz going through Edenville, and Baytown.   And they run through these streets at more than safe speed making it risky to cross M Diaz and even at times streets near our houses.  But this is a residential subdivsiion where we are supposed to be safe and secure.

Not sure anymore

Nearly collided crashed into MC rider overtaking from the right

Wheels of Happiness

As this post rode out yesterday, getting out of M Diaz, an MC following me suddenly overtook me -  AT THE RIGHT side, startling me, nearing colliding crashing into him as I was brining the bike to the edge of the road.   On a narrow 3 ft wide remaining section of the road, he accelerated and overtook me.

I thought, through my long years of driving a motor vehicle (licensed honest to goodness) it is illegal to overtake from the right.   And so I thought.

Am grateful, I did not meet an accident.   The guy must be told.   Lack of education, lack of knowledge of LTO law.  (How many drivers are like that?)
