MMDA asks LTO to sanction motorist in altercation with traffic enforcer in San Juan

MMDA Chairman Romando Artes, in a letter sent on Friday, to LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza, recounted that the driver attempted to cut into the traffic queue on Ortigas Avenue near the school on Aug. 8, prompting an MMDA enforcer to stop her.

“In the audio of the video taken of the incident, a woman’s voice could be heard arguing and berating the MMDA traffic enforcer who prevented her attempt of queue-jumping,” Artes wrote.

He added, “Despite her name-dropping, the traffic personnel stood their ground and were not intimidated.”

The driver, who was behind the wheel of a white Toyota Hi Ace van, has been tagged under the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) for obstruction.

Artes stressed in the letter that even with cones and school security personnel helping to manage traffic, some motorists still tried to cut in, leading to confrontations that worsened congestion in the area.

The MMDA also reminded parents and drivers of school service and private vehicles to remain calm when flagged by enforcers, who are tasked to manage traffic flow and enforce road rules.
