Lay-by areas are exceedingly rare in EDSA. Kapag nasiraan ka, usually talaga sa nearest gas station ang option mo.
Honestly, part of the problem is that riders tend to follow herd mentality. Yung tipong they feel emboldened kapag nakita nilang ginagawa na rin naman ng iba kahit alam naman nilang mali (i.e. counterflow, using the bus lane as a speed lane).
In this particular case, they often take shelter under MRT stations and take up more than half of the road, creating bottle necks.
I see, thanks for the insight. Kaya rin nag-aalangan ako kung gagana ito eh. The carrot-and-stick approach is commendable, but I am really doubting the carrot is commensurable with the stick.
My former boss rides his motorcycle to work and back, and he has told me na kapag nararamdaman nyang uulan, lalo na kung pauwi na siya, he’d stop by some coffee shop or whatever. He’d then stay there until he deems it safe to resume his commute. I doubt this is an option for a lot of the motorcycle riders, however. If you’ve got some deliveries to do, you don’t have a lot of luxury looking for a suitable place for shelter during rains. That’s really why I am hoping there’s enough lay-by areas and gas station shelters for the riders to use.
