To improve traffic management and enhance road safety at NLEX Connector Intersections in C3, Caloocan, España, and Magsaysay Boulevards in Manila, NLEX has installed sensor-based traffic signal lights that will help organize vehicle flow and manage pedestrian crossings in these areas.
In a turnover ceremony, NLEX officially handed over the newly installed infrastructure, to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
The installation was done in coordination with the MMDA to ensure compliance with their updated standards and requirements for an integrated traffic management system. The new “adaptive signaling systems” use vehicle-detecting sensors instead of traditional timers and are complemented by improved lane markings and road signages.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to easing congestion and improving the mobility experience for all, whether travelling along our expressways or local roads where our expressways, such as the NLEX Connector, traverse,” said Perez.
Chairman Artes, meanwhile, expressed his gratitude for the project, saying, “Ang proyekto pong ito ay isang magandang halimbawa ng pagtutulungan ng iba’t ibang ahensya at ng pribadong sektor para magkaroon tayo ng isang safer, smarter, and more efficient road network para sa lahat.”
NLEX Corporation is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC).
