Both LGUs and the Philippine National Police should strictly enforce the No Parking regulations covering national roads, “To add trouble, the same farmers and rice and corn traders put large stones, if not boulders, and other barriers on the highways to protect their palay and corn from being overrun by passing vehicles,” he said, noting that such practices “pose danger to motorists.” “Many tricycles and motorcycles are using the center lanes of these widened national roads,” Singson added. “The practice hampers the smooth flow of vehicular traffic, as well as poses danger to motorists, particularly at night. If they want to use the national roads, then they should use the outer lanes to prevent accidents from happening.” Singson urged local government units to “help put order on the national roads, especially in market areas or town centers, which are being used as terminals or parking areas of these tricycles and motorcycles.”
