MMDA urges La Salle Green Hills to implement stricter traffic measures

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has called on La Salle Green Hills in Mandaluyong City to implement stricter traffic management measures after recording 1,341 violations around the school in just over a month.

Most of these infractions involved illegal parking, obstruction, and unauthorized loading and unloading during peak school hours along Ortigas Avenue, worsening congestion and compromising public safety.

MMDA Chairperson Romando Artes reiterated concern regarding 'continuing traffic congestion' near the school in a letter to the administration on August 18.

The MMDA uses its No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) to monitor traffic violations, which has been operational since May in major Metro Manila roads including Ortigas Avenue.

Artes proposed closer coordination between the MMDA and La Salle Green Hills to develop joint strategies for reducing congestion and ensuring road safety.

The agency expressed confidence in the school's cooperation to address ongoing traffic issues and promote discipline among road users in the surrounding area.
