Must be pre-Duterte 50% increase, according to my ”official” printed receipt or maybe they got me for disregarding traffic sign in order to pinch another 100p.
Appears to be up to date by some of the comments. I'd say they just stung you the highest Fine because 'you can afford that one'... Dumaguete Awareness
If they enforced each breach I could see most of the locals ending up with Fines totally more than the Market Value of the Bike they would be caught riding on!
In Ormoc City they was giving out a city regulation that all vehicles with broken parts or suboptimal maintenance have to be phased out till they are properly fixed. This caused about the half of all vehicles including tricycles and jeepneys going out of business. The result was, that the available public transportation was not enough to handle the amount of riders. People living in the outskirts of the city were getting huge issues to get into the city because all passing public transportation was already overcrowded. But who believes now that there will be less traffic in the city is wrong. Due this issue the people started to buy own vehicles resulting in a much worse traffic than before the city regulation.
They might get as inventive as they are in Cebu city where a wrongly parked car get a wheel clamp; no need to tow nor can the driver get away.
A cheap solution with great educational value for the drivers /owners. However with cars interfering with traffic blocking a driveway or intersection thats not really helpful
I guess that depends on how big of an @ss you are about your illegal parking. If you are blocking someone in or are parked in the middle of the road I doubt they would boot ya.
