SCTEX Routes Traffic Head On!

From a reader:

Several weeks ago the operators of the SCTEX closed half the expressway for cyclists, maybe to have a race, so traffic coming from Subic bound for Clark was funnelled into a single file crawl along the right half of the oncoming carriageway from Dinnalupihan through to just before the NLEX turnoff. You could certainly say that the freeway operators were effectively cheating the drivers of the road they were paying a toll to use. No surprises here after all the greed and stupidity we have seen from the freeway operators, but the story doesn't end there....


I was one of the first cars to pass back on the correct side of the road again, the race had finished and I had a clear path ahead, in fact I was passing cars that were still stuck in single file on the wrong side of the centre divider. After a second of feeling sorry for them I went on to enjoy my open road, or so I thought...


When I arrived at Clark I came around the bend approaching the South Clark exit and I was confronted with vehicles coming head on, going the wrong way on the wrong side of the road! A perfect recipe for a multiple fatality accident.

After some quick action to ensure the lives of my whole family were rescued I looked for the reason behind this debacle and found that the freeway operators were only allowing the cars to come back to the correct side of the road AFTER the south Clark Exit, so cars wanting to exit South Clark were effectively U-Turning to back-track to the South Clark exit, straight into the now oncoming traffic as the road was reopened.

How can the freeway operators be so incompetent as to route freeway traffic head on into each other?

Why should they be routing traffic to allow bicycles to use the expressway when the law strictly forbids bicycles on expressways, a law that is there for a reason. If there was some exemption to the law signed for them to run that event was the brainless bureaucrat made aware that he could be killing families because the operator is not capable to carry out such instructions safely?
These morons should be charged with attempted Homicide, there is no excuse for exposing motorists to such danger, especially when they are paying to use a road built to international safety standards.I sent a text message to the SCTEX number at the tollgate, there response was: "We will forward your concern to our concerns department"

Concerns Department??? They have a whole department for concerns?
