Amendment to Truck Ban Ordice for Saturdays

Section 6 of Republic Act No. 7924 is the legal basis for amending the truck ban ordinance.
The amendment targets the first paragraph of Section 1 of MMA Ordinance No. 5, series of 1994.
MMA Ordinance No. 5, series of 1994 is described as further amending Ordinance No. 78-04, as amended by MMA Ordinance No. 19, s. 1991, re: the truck ban.

MMDA Regulation No. 96-008 is enacted to further reduce or minimize traffic congestion even on Saturdays.
The regulation specifically responds to observed traffic congestion during Saturdays despite implementation of the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program under MMDA Regulation No. 96-005.

Section 1 of MMA Ordinance No. 5, series of 1994 is amended to prohibit cargo trucks from traveling within the affected roads/streets/thoroughfares on Monday to Saturday.
No cargo truck shall be allowed to travel or pass along the roads/streets/thoroughfares enumerated in the second paragraph, Section 1 of MMA Ordinance No. 5, series of 1994.
The restriction applies from Monday to Saturday, and it contains express exceptions for Sundays and Holidays.
The amendment changes the allowance language to: cargo trucks are not allowed on Monday to Saturday, except on Sundays and Holidays.

The rule applies to cargo truck operations, including any cargo truck that would travel or pass within the specified road network.

The regulation provides a day-based operational limit covering Monday to Saturday.
The regulation expressly allows truck movement on Sundays and Holidays.
The rule’s geographic limitation is tied to the roads/streets/thoroughfares enumerated in the second paragraph, Section 1 of MMA Ordinance No. 5, series of 1994.
