THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reported a relatively low number of traffic violations on the first day of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) reimplementation on Monday.
MMDA Traffic Enforcement Group Director Atty. Victor Nuñez announced that a total of 1,112 motorists were flagged for various traffic offenses, a figure significantly lower than the number of violations recorded during the week before the policy’s suspension.
Nuñez attributed the lower number to increased public awareness and a greater understanding of the policy’s rules and regulations.
The MMDA had previously suspended the NCAP to address concerns and implement improvements.
The reimplementation on Monday incorporated these changes, including clearer signage and a more robust public information campaign.
The agency is optimistic that the lower number of violations reflects the success of these measures in improving compliance. The MMDA continues to monitor traffic patterns and adjust its strategies as needed to ensure the effectiveness of the NCAP.
Despite the relatively low number of violations on the first day, the MMDA emphasized its commitment to enforcing traffic rules and maintaining order on Metro Manila roads.
The agency stressed that the NCAP is not intended to generate revenue but rather to improve road safety and traffic flow.
The MMDA will continue to analyze the data collected during the reimplementation and will make further adjustments if necessary to optimize the policy’s effectiveness and ensure fairness to all motorists.Share
