Designation of Specific Motorcycle Lanes per Road

  • Marcos Highway: third lane from the sidewalk.
  • Roxas Boulevard: southbound first lane from sidewalk; northbound first lane except specified sections (NAIA to Airport Road and Ortigas to EDSA) where other lanes apply.
  • Elliptical Road to Quiapo: generally second lane from sidewalk with exceptions on Quezon Boulevard.
  • Mindanao Avenue: first lane from the sidewalk.

Non-Exclusive Use and Allowed Deviation

  • Lanes are "non-exclusive," meaning public and private vehicles may also use these lanes jointly with motorcycles.
  • Motorcycles may deviate from the lanes only when making permitted U-turns or turns, or in cases of emergency.
  • Such deviation requires motorcycles to leave the lane within 200 meters from the turning point.

Implementation and Responsibility

  • The MMDA's Traffic Engineering Center is tasked with applying pavement markings and installing signage for these lanes.

Penalties for Violation

  • A fine of Php 1,000 is imposed for violating any provision of the regulation.
  • This does not preclude additional penalties if other violations occur simultaneously.

Public Awareness and Effectivity

  • MMDA will conduct a public awareness campaign at least one week prior to full implementation.
  • The regulation becomes effective five days after publication in two newspapers of general circulation and submission of documentation to the National Administrative Register.

Legal and Administrative Approval

  • The resolution is approved by the Metro Manila Council and signed by the MMDA Chairman and the mayors of Metro Manila cities and municipalities.
  • It reflects cooperative governance and conformity across local government units in Metro Manila concerning motorcycle lane regulation.
