The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Sunday announced that it will start to fine motorists who will be caught using the line designated only for cyclists or bicycle riders along EDSA.
In a statement, MMDA said the apprehension of erring motorists will start on Monday, August 21.
“Disregarding traffic sign ang violation na may kaakibat na P1,000 multa,” it said.
MMDA said its latest monitoring had shown that many motorcycle riders were seen passing through the bicycle lane.
“Dahil dito, hindi magamit ng mga nagbibisikleta ang lane na inilaan para sa kanila,” it added.
The agency reminded that the bicycle lane is not intended for motorcycle riders.
“Ang bike lane ay hindi fast lane para sa mga motorcycles,” MMDA said.
