Ramdam na ang pagbigat ng trapiko sa North Luzon Expressway ngayong araw para sa mga uuwi pa-Norte ngayong Pasko. Pero bukod sa kalbaryong ‘yan, problema rin doon ang insidente ng pamamato.

00:00Traffic in the North Luzon Expressway is heavy this day for those who will return to the north for Christmas.
00:08But aside from that chaos, there is also a problem with the incident of the snowstorm.
00:13NLEX is advising motorists to be aware of Ian Cruz's remarks.
00:21This day until the eve of Christmas,
00:24the North Luzon Expressway or NLEX is expecting heavy traffic this Christmas.
00:32But in the opposite direction of NLEX Valenzuela,
00:35traffic is already slow this afternoon.
00:39Traffic is even slower at 10 to 20 kilometers per hour this afternoon in the southbound.
00:46Build-ups in the northbound are longer, but traffic is still at 20 to 40 kph.
00:52Every day, there are 334,000 vehicles passing through NLEX.
00:57This Christmas, it is expected to increase to 370,000 every day.
01:03Ten percent of the volume of vehicles in the NLEX Connector and in Essitex is also expected to increase.
01:09That is why some are already traveling to the province for Christmas.
01:14Sir, we avoided the traffic because now there is a lot of traffic.
01:19Maybe especially if it's already near.
01:23NLEX's suggestion is to travel during non-peak hours
01:27or to know the traffic situation on their social media platforms.
01:31We gave them the time frame of the peak period,
01:35but we are also advising them to monitor the current traffic situation of NLEX and Essitex Connector Road.
01:47But it's not only the traffic that is the enemy of the expressway.
01:50Sometimes, it is also the traffic jams that hit the overpasses.
01:57Just like what the former Kapuso reporter, Cedric Castillo, said on the NLEX Tabang Spur Road.
02:02It's good that Castillo is not out of control.
02:04But the windshield of his vehicle cracked because of the impact.
02:09I heard from that area that someone died before.
02:12It's the same incident. The windshield was hit.
02:15So, my message to those who did it,
02:17just imagine if the result of what you did is bad,
02:23what will happen to your family while you live with that cargo?
02:27This is the least overpass in Tobolacan.
02:31It is passed by pedestrians, motorcycles, and even tricycles.
02:35We noticed that there is a barrier on each side of the overpass.
02:38But on the top of it, there is no barrier.
02:41That's why it can be hit by a rock or anything that falls on the NLEX motorists
02:47who are sometimes the victims.
02:51It is noteworthy that there is a guard watching the overpass.
02:54The NLEX said that they are monitoring the PNP and the LGU regarding the incident.
03:00They will also let the NLEX leaders know what they can do about the overpass.
03:05They are advising the motorists who might be the victims of the impact.
03:09They can stop at a brighter area.
03:13They just need to know our hotline so that they can call us immediately
03:18so that our personnel can go there and assist.
03:22I will give them what they need.
03:25Meanwhile, some expressways will be free on the eve of Christmas and New Year
03:31under the announcement of San Miguel Corporation.
03:33WAVE is the toll on the mentioned expressways of IA-X,
03:37South Luzon Expressway or SLX,
03:40Star Tollway,
03:41and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway or TPLEX.
03:45It will start at 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next day.
03:50For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz,
03:53for 24 Hours.
