CTTMO Head Dionisio Abude said on Thursday that the augmentation of personnel is needed to improve traffic management in Davao City, particularly with the addition of new roads and another satellite office.
Abude also explained that the new enforcers would support the office’s overall operations.
“Gihimo namo ni nga request para sa kadtong areas nga wala gyud na detail regularly sa mga intersection or other congested,” Abude said during ISpeak media forum.
Abude also said that some of the newly hired traffic enforcers will be stationed on roads that are scheduled to open soon.
“Nakita namo nga dili lang diay tong mga area nga na detail nato ang traffic enforcers, kundili sa mga coming na kalsada or kani atong coastal road, kining atong bypass road, ug kani atong additional nga pag-create ug activate sa atong Bunawan Satellite Office,” he said.
He also said that some of the needed manpower will be deployed to the Special Operations Team and Anti-Jaywalking Unit.
Abude announced that the city government of Davao is eyeing to install a monitoring post on the center island near the Almendras Gym overpass for anti-jaywalking enforcement.
He said the goal is to restrict the use of the nearby pedestrian lane to senior citizens, people with disabilities (PWDs), and pregnant women.
Meanwhile, for the Anti-Jaywalking implementation, Abude said they plan to place a monitoring post on the middle island near the Almendras Gym overpass.
He said that he wanted to see that the pedestrian lane would only be used by senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and pregnant women.
