This is quite solvable by road designers. Add a triangular island at the T-junction, then connect with two crosswalks (aligned to the continuous road of the tee). The island shortens the crosswalk, reducing risk to pedestrians, the island will serve as a pedestrian refuge. The crosswalk can be widened to share with dismounted cyclists (a sign denoting the shared nature of the crosswalk will help). Any physical protection to the island (trief kerbs or bollards, e.g.) will help. Priority on the shared space (the crosswalk) can be - in order of importance - ambulance, pedestrians & dismounted cyclists, motorized vehicles. The shared space should be always kept clear, unless transiting through. A cycle lane can be added along the continuous road at the tee, but will not share space with the crosswalk to avoid conflict with pedestrians.

The primacy of cyclists on the bike lanes need further enforcing by authorities. Based on international conventions for on-grade markings, solid lines delineate the cycle lane, and thus motor vehicles should not cross over. However, conflict on designated bus stops need further study and resolution. Hopefully this could be highlighted repeatedly to MMDA/City Planners.

Places where it's difficult to walk, those that immediately come to mind: under the MRT Guadalupe station southbound, also the stretch of Buendia beside Urdaneta Village leading up to the MRT station and also by the stairs of the MRT Buendia station northbound (to name a few).

Greetings @Rappler Admin, yes do please share any laws/statutes governing cycling in the MMla (if any) so that us plebes could understand our, for lack of a better word, "rights". In the Bulletin Board? Thanks in advance.

This is in Marikina City near Molave Market. Pedestrians tend to go to the road just to walk past this area due to the tree and parked vehicles hampering the area. Can also be a bike hazard due to the same tree hampering the bike lane.

Rosario Pasig City IPI intersection. turning left from C5 Eastwood. bikes are forced to swerve in the middle lane due to these PUVs signs is clear NO PARKING. this is what I go through on my daily bike commute. sometimes these PUV get a little bit aggressive when trying to overtake them tsk tsk tsk

I suggest that the admin would group the concerns/photos by CITIES>Barangays for easy reference (by contributors and politicians).

ORTIGAS AVE EXT. in Taytay, Rizal

1) Google pin: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GW4uQUDW7PXjqpsDA, https://maps.app.goo.gl/wtaY4woqxTySQ4Si6

2) Description: Many segments of Ortigas Ave. Ext. in Taytay, Rizal that has no sidewalk and many obstructions. This has been the case since the road was widened between 2017 and 2018 (see Street View history). It's unfortunate because the entire stretch is host to many commuters from nearby Simona, St. Anthony, The Hive, Panasonic, etc. There's also the footbridge nearby closed for more than a year now because it was considered unsafe after a dump truck accident.

Usually quite easy to get through this intersection but today at around 2PM the stoplights were flashing red and orange. Since motorists do not follow the protocol for when lights are flashing (which is to come to a complete stop before proceeding), it was difficult to get through this intersection even when I dismounted and crossed as a pedestrian. Once I got through, there was a group of 5+ QC-DPOS personnel on BIR road just chatting.

East Avenue should be the gold standard for road safety considering its proximity to city hall and other government agencies. Instead of that what you will find is rapacious car centrism.

Thanks kiefer! Keep it coming, if you spot more

Mt. Carmel Hospital in San Fernando, Pampanga.

A hospital zone. where we see people in wheelchairs, elderly, tired caregivers, and tired medical professionals. The LGU has removed the only pedestrian crossing and has required everyone to use an overpass to cross only 4 lanes of traffic. CSFP LGU has really shown favoritism towards drivers and apathy towards cyclists and pedestrians

The supposedly Class 2 bike lanes near BIR San Fernando Pampanga are used as parking.

Even with the presence of traffic enforcers it is still allowed by the LGU. CSFP LGU accepted bollards and bike lanes from DoTr but has yet to actually put them up or enforce them. It is a complete waste of public funds and a violation of people's right to mobility

Katipunan Extension is filled with manholes, steel plates, and other dangers that force bikers to swerve outside the bike lane for their safety. The road narrows to three lanes which forces bikers to merge with high-moving traffic. Barriers are broken or not well-maintained. Some lights are malfunctioning at night.

It's especially bad because Katip. Ext. is the only road that goes to Katipunan, especially Northbound. Many students, who are more likely to bike than other demographics, are unable to because of the many safety risks.
