The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Friday, April 19, said it will continue intercepting e-vehicles and tricycles that are banned on plying Metro Manila's major roads.
JUST IN: MMDA tuloy ang pagsita sa mga e-bike at e-trike sa mga pangunahing lansangan, pero hindi maniniket o mag-i-impound ng mga mahuhuli

Ito’y kasunod ng utos ni Pang. Bongbong Marcos na magbigay ng 1-buwang ‘grace period’ sa pagpapatupad ng polisiya. @dzrhnews pic.twitter.com/Oz6T5hHWLw
In a press briefing, MMDA said enforcers would intercept violators but would not issue tickets and not impound their vehicles.
The move was made following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s order to give at least one month grace period to drivers to make them aware of the new rules' implementation.
MMDA Chief Atty. Rolando 'Don' Artes said the MMDA would return the impounded vehicles and cancel the tickets issued on the first day of interception.
"Hahanapan po namin ito ng paraan para macancel yung ticket na 'to at makikipagtulungan po kami sa mga LGU's kung paano maipapasauli yungh 69 na impound," Artes said.
Under MMDA Regulation No. 24-022, e-trikes, tricycles, pedicabs, pushcarts, and kuligligs are prohibited from using major roads in Metro Manila.
