MMC Ban E-Trikes on Major Thoroughfares
The Metro Manila Council has approved MMDA Regulation No. 24-022 series of
2024 prohibiting e-bikes and e-trikes as well as tricycles, pedicabs,
pushcarts, and kuligligs on national roads, circumferential, and radial
roads in Metro Manila.
In a press statement, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said
the prohibition will be enforced on:
C1: Recto Avenue
C2: Pres. Quirino Avenue
C3: Araneta Avenue
C4: EDSA
C5: Katipunan/CP Garcia
C6: Southeast Metro Manila Expressway
R1: Roxas Boulevard
R2: Taft Avenue
R3: SLEX
R4: Shaw Boulevard
R5: Ortigas Avenue
R6: Magsaysay Blvd. /Aurora Blvd.
R7: Quezon Ave. /Commonwealth Ave.
R8: A. Bonifacio Ave.
R9: Rizal Ave.
R10: Del Pan/Marcos Highway/McArthur Highway
Elliptical Road
Mindanao Avenue
Marcos Highway
When fully enforced, drivers of e-trikes will be fined and if driver is
unlicensed, the vehicle will be impounded.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila local government units will be passing respective
ordinances regulating the use of e-trikes and e-bikes for the secondary and
other inner roads under their jurisdiction.
Already, we're seeing traffic enforcers of LGUs getting tough on e-trikes
which are being used for public transport. Here's hoping our "ningas-cogon"
mentality won't kick in.
