NCAP continues despite deferred EDSA rebuild
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon announced that the no-contact apprehension policy (NCAP) will continue, emphasizing its role in enforcing traffic rules more efficiently.
MMDA Head of Special Operations Gabriel Go affirmed that NCAP is not just a traffic alleviation measure but an instrument used by the government to instill discipline and order on the roads.
Go noted a decrease in the number of NCAP violators, with 1,112 apprehensions on May 26 and 565 on June 1, indicating a growing respect for traffic laws.
Common violations like disregarding traffic signs and pedestrian crossings have noticeably decreased since the policy's reimplementation.
Despite these developments, transport groups and drivers have been advocating for the suspension of NCAP, citing concerns about potential improvements needed in traffic light systems and road infrastructure.
Drivers also expressed worries regarding the financial burden of potential violations, especially for those who spend long hours on the road.
