How about building the byepass - Bacong around to Sibulan, ban heavy trucks from the city except from midnight to 5am, make the boulevarde pedestrian only - at least in the evenings from 5pm to midnight.
Sounds like some good idea's as a start but of course none of it will be acted on. Further changes are needed as well that most any foreigner could probably come up with. 1. Ban school *parades on major roads and especially the National Highway. 2. Ban parking lots on major roads, you know all those motorcycles that double and triple stack even blocking up much of the road such as near the cockfighting pit and lee plaza. Along with this any vehicle found illegally parking or double parking even if just *waiting or dropping off* are impounded and fined. 3. Ban 2 stroke motorcycles along with any motorcycle found without a proper muffler or rigged to be noise excessive is impounded where the owner has 7 days to pay the fine along with install a proper muffler or the motorcycle is scrapped. IF no valid registration and plate the motorcycle goes straight to scrap if they meet the above issues. 4. Regulate easyride/jeepney stops and pickup places and any easyride or jeepney picking up or dropping off at a non pre-authorized stop is impounded and the driver's license is revoked. I'd even go as far as banning farm animals in major residential areas but that may be a bit much.
Yeah and Of course and Pigs Can Fly. Lets keep Dreaming guys cos you know it is never going to happen.
The only real option is to adapt to their way of driving and protect yourself with seat belts/riding gear.
Boulevard should be pedestrian only. It would be like those european towns where transportation are prohibited. Restaurants can extend their seating outside. It would be very wonderful. I also hope that they ban smoking in the boulevard. Oh wait, I heard its banned but it is not strongly implemented. Sad.
