Question from a reader:
There is a sign in ParknShop, (right in front of Dunkin Doughnuts) that reads "No right hand turn from 4 to 7 pm". Does anyone know the reason for this traffic rule? If I am in the ParknShop between 4 and 7 pm and I want to leave SBMA via the Rizal gate, I must make a left-hand turn upon leaving ParknShop, go around the ballpark and go down to Manila Ave to exit via the Rizal gate. I can't for the life of me make any sense of this.
[The Subic Bulletin] We believe the theory behind this is to stop the traffic banking up into park and shop from the intersection on Rizal and Aguinaldo Streets (the main gate intersection).
But this is somewhat like putting a band aid on the real problem. Fact is the the main gate intersection is way too overloaded to be under the control of 4 way stop signs (45 cm illegal "toy" stop signs at that!), the pedestrian traffic alone warrants traffic lights or an overpass.
But how could we ever expect SBMA to install lights or an overpass when they don't even seem to be competent in maintaining the lights we have (or had).
Fact is turning left from ParkNShop through the cued traffic has caused numerous accidents. The whole traffic situation is just so poorly managed.
