DILG insists: Tricycles, pedicabs still banned in national highways
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) reiterates that tricycles and pedicabs are still prohibited on national highways, regardless of community quarantine classification.
This prohibition is based on existing laws predating the COVID-19 pandemic and is enforced for public safety.
The DILG clarified this after Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque announced that these vehicles might be allowed on national highways.
Local government units (LGUs) are responsible for regulating tricycles and pedicabs on secondary roads, requiring adherence to health and safety protocols.
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) mandates a one-passenger, no-back ride policy for tricycles in all GCQ and MGCQ areas.
