Elevated U-Turn along C-5

Unfiled

Anyone that drives through the Kalayaan interchange along C-5 on a day to day basis would probably agree with me on this.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD SOMEONE BUILD AN ELEVETED U-TURN AFTER THE GODDAMN INTERSECTION??????

I find it ludicrous that GMA actually approved a project this stupid. You want to lessen traffic? Build an overpass! Let people U-turn under the bridge! If not, the elevated U-turn could have been built BEFORE the intersection and not after!

Wrap your minds around this.

You line up in queu as the stoplight switches around each direction... it is finally your turn to go. As you move, vehicles pile into the elevated U-turn and go back around only to face another stoplight.  They already had U-turns in place before the intersection!! That works! We didnt need an elevated one!!

Just another excuse to steal tax money from dumb government projects like this. No wonder NAIA 3 just won't finish on time.

Just wanted to vent...

 

The traffic now is HORRENDOUS! I wouldn't have minded it that much had the project been sensible. BUT NO!!! THIS IS JUST PLAIN STUPID!!!!!!

 

Maybe its just me... others may not agree. Well, i hate the inconvenience it has caused so far and hence this RANT. If you, my dear reader, have another view on this, please do share it...

 

Who knows? my temper may have just taken the best out of my judgement :P
