Southbound multicabs to take new route

To decongest the traffic in barangay Punta Princesa, specifically along F. Llamas Street, the City Traffic Operations Management and the traffic group of the city police will be implementing a new traffic scheme for multicabs traversing the city's southern routes.

Starting June 15, the new traffic scheme will affect routes of multicabs leading to Sabellano, University of San Jose-Recoletos, Basak and southern Cebu.

From their points of origin, all multicabs going into Cebu City through the Cebu South Road would have to turn left to Macopa Street, turn left again to Sabellano Street, turn left to Bayanihan Village Road, then make a right turn to the Cebu South Road heading towards their destination.

"Drivers, operators and the riding public are advised to follow the traffic scheme to avoid confusion and/or misinterpretation," said police traffic group chief Marlou Martinez.

In its board resolution, the CITOM executive committee has approved the submission of the new traffic scheme to the Land Transportation Office for coordination.

The public may also expect a revised traffic scheme that would be implemented within the city to accommodate the activities lined up for the celebration of Independence Day come June 12. - Joeberth M. Ocao
