Cebu Best Posts in Thread: Traffic in Other areas (Negros or Cebu)

All locations around Negros have traffic problems but would consider Dumaguete to have the worse amount of problems, mainly due to the total lack of any enforcement of traffic regulations. Total inapt attitude of most users especially the trikes and motor bikes whom are willing to kill each other to advance only a few meters in front of each other.

 

Not sure if the asians in general suck at it or their driving capabilities are due to a complete lack of education. Someone shows them where the pedals are, the steering wheel and the horn. And then GO GO GO GO.

An asian will learn the hard way after he smashes his bike/trike a few times.
Or overtakes on a narrow stretch of road (coast road at San Jose perfect example) then realizes there is no way to go when the truck/bus coming the other way will not and can not give way for him.
Or speeds his supercharged/turbocharged big black/white SUV (King of the Road) overtaking everything/everone possible - only to realize it takes longer to slow down - and that truck won't move of the road for him (there is always someone with bigger tons than you) - or the poor bike in front does not even get a chance to see him before the car runs the bike over.
Or that the car at 100kmh handles a lot different than at 50kmh.

Education, enforced rules, enforced fines, enforced (read smarter) checkpoints, etc etc etc. And let me state again - education, education, education . (Woops - sorry I am being pedantic ).

And better road systems/infrastructures would go a long way to improving traffic as well, but only with enforced rules. Otherwise you are only compounding the situation.

You will still get idiot/dangerous/stupid drivers - like you do in every country.

 

They also suck at realizing or caring that there are other people in the world which has a distinct effect on their driving habits, walking habits, queuing habits, ATM habits, going to the cinema habits, karaoke volume habits and .................
