MMDA to implement 24-hour odd-even coding on EDSA starting June 16

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will implement a 24-hour odd-even number coding scheme along EDSA starting June 16.

Vehicles with odd-numbered plates will be restricted on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while those with even-numbered plates will be restricted on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with no coding on Sundays.

The MMDA will extend the dry-run of the odd-even scheme on EDSA for one month beginning June 16, during which violators will only be warned.

A P500 fine will be imposed after the one-month dry run period.

Exempted vehicles include electric vehicles, hybrids, motorcycles, non-motorized vehicles, emergency vehicles, public utility vehicles, and authorized, marked government vehicles with official plates used for essential services.

Vehicles only crossing EDSA via intersecting roads are also exempted, but vehicles are not allowed to travel along EDSA during restricted days.

Transport network vehicles (TNVS) operating under accredited ride-hailing platforms will be issued special stickers for exemption after endorsement by the LTFRB.

The MMDA has released a map showing alternative routes to help ease congestion during the scheme.
