Traffic Management Defined
It is an executive function such as planning, organizing,
directing, supervising, coordinating, operating, recording, and
budgeting traffic affairs.
It also refers to all agencies having responsibilities for
ascertaining traffic flow requirements, such as planning,
approving, funding, constructing and/or maintaining public
facilities for such movement.
Further, it is also refers to all agencies responsible for licensing,
approving, restricting, stopping, prohibiting or controlling the use
of these facilities.

vehicle under the law and thus cannot be the subject of carnapping, to
wit:
road rollers, trolley cars, street sweepers, sprinklers, lawn mowers,
bulldozers, graders, forklifts, amphibian trucks, and cranes if not used
on public highways;
vehicles which run only on rails or tracks; and

SECTION 21. Pollution from Motor Vehicles.—
a) The DOTC shall implement the emission
standards for motor vehicles set pursuant to and as
provided in this Act.
Mandate
TRAFFIC
What is the Emission Test?
It is a mandatory test in the Philippines as part of the car’s registration. It
is also done during the renewal of the car’s registration. This test
measures the level of fumes or pollutant released from the exhaust
manifold of a vehicle
TRAFFIC
In general, the emission test aims to ensure that a vehicle is
in compliance with the set of emission standards. It is also
the requirement of a car to have a CEC or Certificate of
Emission Compliance which is needed for the
renewal of the car’s registration.
TRAFFIC
Any vehicle suspected of violation of emission standards through
visual signs, such as, but not limited to smoke-belching, shall be
subjected to an emission test by a duly authorized emission testing
center. For this purpose, the DOTC or its authorized testing center
shall establish a roadside inspection system. Should it be shown
that there was no violation of emission standards, the vehicle shall
be immediately released. Otherwise, a testing result indicating an
exceedance of the emission standards would warrant the continuing
custody of the impounded vehicle unless the appropriate penalties
are fully paid, and the license plate is surrendered to the DOTC
pending the fulfillment of the undertaking by the owner/operator of
the motor vehicle to make the necessary repairs so as to comply
with the standards.
TRAFFIC
A pass shall herein be issued by the DOTC to authorize the use of the motor
vehicle within a specified period that shall not exceed seven (7) days for
the sole purpose of making the necessary repairs on the said vehicle.
The owner/operator of the vehicle shall be required to correct its defects
and show proof of compliance to the appropriate pollution control office
before the vehicle can be allowed to be driven on any public or
subdivision roads.
In addition, the driver and operator of the apprehended vehicle shall undergo
a seminar on pollution control and management conducted by the DOTC
and shall also suffer the following penalties:
(a) First offense - a fine not to exceed Two thousand pesos (₱2,000);
(b) Second offense - a fine not less than Two thousand pesos (₱2,000)
and not to exceed Four thousand pesos (₱4,000); and
TRAFFIC
(c) Third offense - one (1) year suspension of the Motor Vehicle
Registration (MVR) and a fine of not less than Four thousand pesos
(₱4,000) and not more than Six thousand pesos (₱6,000).
Any violation of the provisions of Section 21 paragraph (d) with regard to
national inspection and maintenance program, including technicians and
facility compliance shall be penalized with a fine of not less than
Thirty thousand pesos (₱30,000) or cancellation of license of both
the technician and the center, or both, as determined by the DTI.
Smoke Belching Meaning
If you have seen a jeepney on the road, chances are you have seen black
smoke coming out of its exhaust pipe. The black smoke you see coming
from a vehicle is called smoke belching. It is a forceful expulsion of thick
smoke from an exhaust system. Smoke belching is quite common to see
in Metro Manila especially from public utility vehicles that are used as
public transport.

TRAFFIC DEFINED
TRAFFIC
The word TRAFFIC was derived from the
word ‘’TRAFFICARE’’ which means :
A. To Travel
B. To Traverse
C. To carry on Trade
D. To Transport
TRAFFIC
Traffic congestion - is a condition on transport that
is characterised by slower speeds, longer trip times,
and increased vehicular queueing
TRAFFIC
Road rage - is aggressive or angry behavior exhibited by a
driver of a road vehicle. These behaviors include rude and
offensive gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or dangerous
driving methods targeted toward another driver or non-drivers
such as pedestrians or cyclists in an effort to intimidate or
release frustration. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults
and collisions that result in serious physical injuries or even
death. Strategies include long horn honks, swerving, tailgating,
brake checking and attempting to fight
TRAFFIC
DEFINITION OF TERMS
HIGHWAY - shall mean every public thoroughfare,
public boulevard, driveway, avenue, park, alley and
callejon, but shall not include roadway upon grounds
owned by private persons, colleges, universities, or other
similar institutions.
Pedestrian - is a person travelling on foot, whether
walking or running. In modern times, the term usually
refers to someone walking on a road or pavement, but
this was not the case historically
TRAFFIC
MOTOR VEHICLE - Shall mean any vehicle propelled by any
power other than muscular power using the public highways, but
exempting road rollers, trolley cars, street sweepers, sprinklers,
lawn mowers, bulldozers, graders, forklifts, amphibian trucks, and
cranes if not in used on public highways, vehicles which runs only
on rails or tracks, and tractors, trailers and traction engines of all
kinds used exclusively for agricultural purposes.
TRAFFIC
DRIVER – Shall mean every and licensed operator of motor
vehicle
TRAFFIC
MUST- KNOW: ALL THE BASIC ROAD MARKINGS IN PH
AND WHAT EACH ONE MEANS
1. SOLID WHITE SHOULDER LINE
This denotes the edge of the roadway. Any asphalt or concrete surface beyond this line
should not be used during the normal operation of your vehicle.
TRAFFIC
2. DIAGONAL WHITE LINES
An area filled with diagonal white lines and bordered by solid white lines is not
considered part of the roadway, and vehicles are expected to stay off unless
there is an emergency. These areas are often used to ease the flow of traffic
where roads diverge or intersect.
TRAFFIC
3. BROKEN WHITE CENTER LINE OR LANE DIVIDER
This denotes the center of a two-lane road, or marks the division between lanes
on multi-lane roads. It is a reminder to stay in your lane. Straddling the line is
illegal and punishable under the law. As the line is “broken,” however, this means
it is legal to cross it when overtaking or changing lanes. Bear in mind that vehicles
continuing in a straight line within their lane automatically have right of way, so
wait your turn.
TRAFFIC
4. SOLID WHITE CENTER LINE
This is often used to divide traffic on a two-way multi-lane road. As this is a solid line, you
are discouraged from overtaking over it unless the way is absolutely clear.
TRAFFIC
5. SOLID WHITE DOUBLE CENTER LINE
You are forbidden from overtaking over this line, but you may make left turns over it,
provided the way is clear. Remember, however, that oncoming traffic still automatically
has right of way.
TRAFFIC
6. SOLID YELLOW DOUBLE CENTER LINE
As we noted a while back, this line indicates that it is unsafe to overtake at any time. It is
often found around blind curves or in areas where fast-moving two-way traffic meets on
an undivided road.
TRAFFIC
7. MIXED CENTER LINE/SOLID YELLOW WITH BROKEN
YELLOW OR WHITE LINE
This indicates that only one side can overtake--the side with the broken line. This is often
found entering curves where the view is obstructed coming from one direction, but is clear
from the opposite side.
TRAFFIC
8. SOLID WHITE LANE DIVIDER
These are often found near intersections, and are reminders to stay in lane. As a practice,
if you’re turning at an intersection, it’s best to get into the turning lane 50m before the
intersection, while the lane divider is still broken.
TRAFFIC
9. DIRECTIONAL ARROWS
When combined with solid white lane dividers, they indicate which directions you are
allowed to go within a lane. If the arrow points forward only, you cannot make a turn from
that lane. If it points forward and to the side, you can either go straight or turn. If it points
only to the side, you must turn within that lane. Ignoring these arrows might just get you a
ticket, or worse, get you into an accident.
TRAFFIC
10. BROKEN BLUE LANE DIVIDER
This indicates the motorbike lane along major thoroughfares. The broken line indicates
that you can move into and out of it, but the lane is preferentially for motorbikes.
TRAFFIC
11) SOLID YELLOW LANE DIVIDER
This indicates the bus lane on EDSA, but can also be used to indicate bicycle lanes in
some areas. Bicycle lanes may also be indicated by solid white lines on the side of the
road
TRAFFIC
12) BROKEN YELLOW LANE DIVIDER
This indicates areas where you can merge into the bus lane in preparation for turning
off EDSA
TRAFFIC
13) MIXED DOUBLE LANE DIVIDER/SOLID
YELLOW WITH BROKEN YELLOW OR WHITE
LINE
This indicates that traffic on the solid yellow side cannot cross lanes, while traffic on the
other side may do so if the way is clear. This is often used where smaller arteries merge
into main roads or where feeder roads merge onto the highway.
TRAFFIC
14) RUMBLE STRIPS
These tightly spaced horizontal white lines not only give your car’s suspension a bit of a
workout, they also indicate hazards ahead, such as dangerous curves or merging traffic.
TRAFFIC
15) SOLID WHITE HORIZONTAL LINE
This indicates where you must stop at a stoplight or stop sign.
TRAFFIC
16) ZEBRA CROSSING
This indicates a pedestrian crossing zone. Stopping over this at a red light is a traffic
violation, so make sure to pay attention to those light timers!
TRAFFIC
17) YELLOW BOX
This box indicates the part of the intersection that must--by law--be kept open at all times.
Even if you have a green light, if the traffic is stopped on the other side ahead, it’s best to
wait until there’s enough space for you to clear the yellow box. Even in the absence of a
light, the yellow box must be kept clear.
.
Memorize these road markings and you will be more law-abiding than 90% of drivers on
Philippine roads, guaranteed. And hopefully safer as well

If there no sign posted designating otherwise, you may make a right
turn at a red light. You also may make a left turn at a red light
when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street that
has traffic moving to the left. In both instances, drivers must come to
a complete stop behind the stop line and yield the right-of-way
to pedestrians and cross-traffic before turning.

TYPES OF COLLITION
Head on collisions - often have poor outcomes because of the
speed involved when the collision takes place. The typical cause of head-on
collisions is when one vehicle inadvertently strays into the path of an
oncoming vehicle. However, the root cause sometimes lies in a steering
overcorrection after veering to the side of the road as opposed to the centre
TRAFFIC
REAR END
- occurs when a vehicle crashes into the one in front of it. Common
factors contributing to rear-end collisions include driver inattention
or distraction, tailgating, panic stops, and reduced traction due to
wet weather or worn pavement. Rear-end
TRAFFIC
SIDE SWIPE
TRAFFIC
VEHICULAR ACCIDENT - It is an accident involving motor
vehicle that resulted to the lost of life, injuries and damaged to
property.
TRAFFIC
Traffic accidents are extremely confusing events. How
they occur, who or what caused them, and why they
occurred are facts that police must determine. Every
peace officer must know the fundamentals of traffic
accident investigation and know how to prepare
traffic accident reports.
TRAFFIC
TWO EXISTING METHODS OF MEASUREMENT
TRAFFIC
DOCTRINE OF LAST CLEAR CHANCE
TRAFFIC
Initial Steps. Prompt arrival at the scene of
an accident is essential. Safety, however,
should be emphasized at all times.
TRAFFIC
STEPS TO BE UNDERTAKEN AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE
TRAFFIC
Location of the Patrol Vehicle. The police vehicle should be
positioned so as not to cause further traffic congestion or accidents.
If necessary, it may, however, be used as a roadblock. At night it
should be parked so the headlights illuminate the entire scene. At all
times the emergency lights should be on to warn approaching
motorists of the hazard.
TRAFFIC
Moving Vehicle And Marking Wheels The decision to
move a vehicle from its final position must often be made
by the police patrol arriving at the scene. When this is
done, the positions of the wheels should be marked on the
ground so they can be relocated for investigative purposes.
TRAFFIC
Under the following conditions, a vehicle must be moved immediately:
When an injured person is trapped in the wreckage and cannot be treated
there.
When a person is trapped in wreckage near burning material, or an area
of potential fire hazard.
When a vehicle position is an immediate hazard to oncoming traffic and
adequate traffic control cannot be established.
