00:00This morning, motorcycles are not allowed to pass the service road of Edsa Kamuning in Quezon City while the southbound flyover is being assembled.
00:11Let's find out if this is followed by the first live news of James and his team.
00:17James!
00:22Good morning, motorcycle riders are still on the service road of Edsa Kamuning.
00:27This happened earlier because the MMDA did not monitor the people.
00:31But there are also many who are following and on alternative routes such as the one I'm standing on,
00:36in the canton of Edsa, Scout Borromeo is passing so that they can avoid the service road
00:42because the MMDA is prohibiting that from today.
00:49Because the traffic enforcers did not monitor, motorcycles are still on the service road of Edsa Kamuning at 4.30 in the morning.
00:56The MMDA prohibited motorcycles to pass the service road from today to reduce the volume of vehicles and to ease the traffic.
01:05The vehicles are being assembled there since the Kamuning flyover southbound was closed.
01:10It will be under retrofitting and rehabilitation for more than five months.
01:14There are also motorcycle riders on alternative routes like Scout Borromeo.
01:20Raymond, who is going to his job in Pasay, was hired there.
01:24It's a bit rough, especially for us motorcyclists.
01:32It's a bit far, but it's okay because it's a bit narrow.
01:37Yes, it's okay.
01:40That's what the rider, Edwin, who was stuck in traffic on the service road yesterday, did.
01:45He came from Caloocan and headed to Pasay.
01:47Yes, there's no problem.
01:49It's okay. Let's just assemble it because that's their regulation.
01:55Let's just assemble it.
01:57Others said that they will just discard it so that it won't be late on the way.
02:01We can't do anything because they are doing it to us.
02:04Of course, we will just enter early so that there won't be traffic.
02:09Aside from Scout Borromeo, other alternative routes include Panay Avenue, Mother Ignatia and Scout Albano.
02:20Meanwhile, this is the situation here in the southbound lane of EDSA.
02:24It's very far from the traffic yesterday.
02:27Now, we don't see any traffic here in the southbound.
02:30It's approaching here in the next flyover.
02:32But there are still chances for cars to be saved on the service road.
02:36If the traffic light goes off, it will be a problem.
02:39Here in my position, in the canton of EDSA and Scout Borromeo,
02:43this is one of the alternative routes.
02:45Here in this lane, there are MMDAs and plastic barriers that serve as a guide for motorists to pass through.
02:54Earlier, motorcyclists were able to go straight to the service road because no one was guarding it.
02:58Now, MMDAs are blocking the road and they are turning to the inside.
03:02If you pass through Scout Borromeo, you will go straight to the alternative routes inside
03:09until you reach Timog.
03:11If you pass through Scout Borromeo, you will go straight to Mesamar until you reach Timog Avenue.
03:15We still don't see any traffic for now.
03:18That is the first news from Quezon City.
03:21I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
