TRAFFIC

29. What is the Emission Test? It is a mandatory test in the Philippines as part of the car’s registration. It is also done during the renewal of the car’s registration. This test measures the level of fumes or pollutant released from the exhaust manifold of a vehicle   What is the purpose of the Emission test Philippines? The main goal of the emission test is to lessen the air pollutants that are harmful to the environment. It detects the level of hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and other air pollutants. TRAFFIC

30. In general , the emission test aims to ensure that a vehicle is in compliance with the set of emission standards. It is also the requirement of a car to have a CEC or Certificate of Emission Compliance which is needed for the  renewal of the car’s registration .

For this purpose, the DOTC or its authorized testing center shall establish a roadside inspection system. Should it be shown that there was no violation of emission standards, the vehicle shall be immediately released. Otherwise, a testing result indicating an exceedance of the emission standards would warrant the continuing custody of the impounded vehicle unless the appropriate penalties are fully paid, and the license plate is surrendered to the DOTC pending the fulfillment of the undertaking by the owner/operator of the motor vehicle to make the necessary repairs so as to comply with the standards. TRAFFIC

39. Traffic defined - it refers to the movement of pedestrian, motor vehicle and goods from point of origin to point of destination. The word traffic originates from Greco-Roman word “TRAFICO” with reference to the movement of people that dates back from the dawns of history. The Greek originally called the system “TRAFRIGA” after the early horse drawn chariots with spoke wheels. TRAFFIC

40. The word TRAFFIC was derived from the word ‘’TRAFFICARE’’ which means : A. To Travel B. To Traverse C. To carry on Trade D. To Transport TRAFFIC

41. Traffic congestion -  is a condition on transport that is characterised by slower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular  queueing Traffic Jam - When vehicles are fully stopped for periods of time TRAFFIC

42. Road rage - is aggressive or angry behavior exhibited by a driver of a road vehicle. These behaviors include rude and offensive gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or dangerous driving methods targeted toward another driver or non-drivers such as  pedestrians  or cyclists in an effort to intimidate or release frustration. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults and collisions that result in serious physical injuries or even death. Strategies include long horn honks, swerving, tailgating,  brake checking and attempting to fight TRAFFIC

43. DEFINITION OF TERMS HIGHWAY - shall mean every public thoroughfare, public boulevard, driveway, avenue, park, alley and callejon , but shall not include roadway upon grounds owned by private persons, colleges, universities, or other similar institutions. TRAFFIC Pedestrian - is a person travelling on  foot , whether  walking  or  running . In modern times, the term usually refers to someone walking on a  road  or  pavement , but this was not the case historically

44. MOTOR VEHICLE - Shall mean any vehicle propelled by any power other than muscular power using the public highways, but exempting road rollers, trolley cars, street sweepers, sprinklers, lawn mowers, bulldozers, graders, forklifts, amphibian trucks, and cranes if not in used on public highways, vehicles which runs only on rails or tracks, and tractors, trailers and traction engines of all kinds used exclusively for agricultural purposes.

46. Must- know: All the basic road markings in PH and what each one means 1. SOLID WHITE SHOULDER LINE This denotes the edge of the roadway. Any asphalt or concrete surface beyond this line should not be used during the normal operation of your vehicle. TRAFFIC

47. 2. Diagonal white lines An area filled with diagonal white lines and bordered by solid white lines is not considered part of the roadway, and vehicles are expected to stay off unless there is an emergency. These areas are often used to ease the flow of traffic where roads diverge or intersect. TRAFFIC

48. 3. Broken white center line or lane divider This denotes the center of a two-lane road, or marks the division between lanes on multi-lane roads. It is a reminder to stay in your lane. Straddling the line is illegal and punishable under the law. As the line is “broken,” however, this means it is legal to cross it when overtaking or changing lanes. Bear in mind that vehicles continuing in a straight line within their lane automatically have right of way, so wait your turn. TRAFFIC

49. 4. Solid white center line This is often used to divide traffic on a two-way multi-lane road. As this is a solid line, you are discouraged from overtaking over it unless the way is absolutely clear. TRAFFIC

50. 5. Solid white double center line You are forbidden from overtaking over this line, but you may make left turns over it, provided the way is clear. Remember, however, that oncoming traffic still automatically has right of way. TRAFFIC

51. 6. Solid yellow double center line As we noted a while back, this  line  indicates that it is unsafe to overtake at any time. It is often found around blind curves or in areas where fast-moving two-way traffic meets on an undivided road. TRAFFIC

52. 7. Mixed center line/solid yellow with broken yellow or white line This indicates that only one side can overtake--the side with the broken line. This is often found entering curves where the view is obstructed coming from one direction, but is clear from the opposite side. TRAFFIC

53. 8. Solid white lane divider These are often found near intersections, and are reminders to stay in lane. As a practice, if you’re turning at an intersection, it’s best to get into the turning lane 50m before the intersection, while the lane divider is still broken. TRAFFIC

54. 9. Directional arrows When combined with solid white lane dividers, they indicate which directions you are allowed to go within a lane. If the arrow points forward only, you cannot make a turn from that lane. If it points forward and to the side, you can either go straight or turn. If it points only to the side, you must turn within that lane. Ignoring these arrows might just get you a ticket, or worse, get you into an accident. TRAFFIC

55. 10. Broken blue lane divider This indicates the motorbike lane along major thoroughfares. The broken line indicates that you can move into and out of it, but the lane is preferentially for motorbikes. TRAFFIC

56. 11) Solid yellow lane divider This indicates the bus lane on EDSA, but can also be used to indicate bicycle lanes in some areas. Bicycle lanes may also be indicated by solid white lines on the side of the road TRAFFIC

57. 12) Broken yellow lane divider This indicates areas where you can merge into the bus lane in preparation for turning off EDSA TRAFFIC

58. 13) Mixed double lane divider/solid yellow with broken yellow or white line This indicates that traffic on the solid yellow side cannot cross lanes, while traffic on the other side may do so if the way is clear. This is often used where smaller arteries merge into main roads or where feeder roads merge onto the highway. TRAFFIC

59. 14) Rumble strips These tightly spaced horizontal white lines not only give your car’s suspension a bit of a workout, they also indicate hazards ahead, such as dangerous curves or merging traffic. TRAFFIC

60. 15) Solid white horizontal line This indicates where you must stop at a stoplight or stop sign. TRAFFIC

61. 16) Zebra crossing This indicates a pedestrian crossing zone. Stopping over this at a red light is a traffic violation, so make sure to pay attention to those light timers! TRAFFIC

62. 17) Yellow box This box indicates the part of the intersection that must--by law--be kept open at all times. Even if you have a green light, if the traffic is stopped on the other side ahead, it’s best to wait until there’s enough space for you to clear the yellow box. Even in the absence of a light, the yellow box must be kept clear. . Memorize these road markings and you will be more law-abiding than 90% of drivers on Philippine roads, guaranteed. And hopefully safer as well TRAFFIC

79. TRAFFIC SIGNS – a device mounted or on a portable support where a message is conveyed by means of words or symbols, officially erected or installed for the purpose of regulating, warning an d guiding traffic. TRAFFIC

80. Importance of Traffic Management Signals – It ensures the safety of passengers, drivers, and pedestrian – It ensures the order of the traffic movement at an intersection – It helps in the reduction of the frequency and severity of some types of accidents – It tells people when to go or when to stop, thus making it beneficial in maintaining the order on the road – It prevents total gridlock on a day-to-day basis – Reduces the number of accidents as well as fatalities . TRAFFIC

81. TRAFFIC LIGHT RED-Stop YELLOW -Prepare to Stop GREEN-Go TRAFFIC

82. What Does Each Color in a Traffic Signal Mean? Red Traffic Signal: - A red traffic light means stop. When approaching a red light at an intersection, the driver should come to a complete stop at the marked stop line. If there is not a marked stop line, the driver should stop before entering the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, the driver should stop before entering the intersection . Flashing Red Traffic Signal: - Stop, yield the right-of-way to traffic within the intersection or crosswalk and proceed when safe. This sign is used at intersections when a stop sign alone is hard to see or where additional emphasis on the stop sign is needed. Flashing red traffic signals are also used at railroad crossings to warn of approaching trains. TRAFFIC

83. Note: Turning Right or Left on Red If there no sign posted designating otherwise, you may make a right turn at a red light. You also may make a left turn at a red light when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street that has traffic moving to the left. In both instances, drivers must come to a complete stop behind the stop line and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and cross-traffic before turning. Yellow Traffic Signal: - The yellow light warns that the signal is changing from green to red. When the red light appears, you may not enter the intersection. TRAFFIC

84. TRAFFIC Green Traffic Signal: - Yes, green means go, but  go after yielding the right-of-way to any pedestrians and vehicles in the intersection or crosswalk. Flashing Yellow Traffic Signal: - A flashing yellow traffic signal at an intersection means to proceed with caution.
