MMDA fields 2,500 enforcers for post‑Holy Week traffic surge
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is deploying 2,500 traffic personnel to manage anticipated heavy traffic as vacationers return to Metro Manila after the Holy Week break.
MMDA has not yet observed significant traffic buildup on Metro Manila's roads, even with ongoing construction and repair work in areas like C-5 Road and Mindanao Avenue.
The agency also reported no vehicular accidents during this period, attributing the smooth flow of traffic to fewer vehicles on the road.
Traffic is expected to increase starting Sunday afternoon as more people return to the capital city.
