Max Speed Limit 60km/h Diosdado Macapagal Av

Diosdado Macapagal Avenue is a major thoroughfare linking Metro Manila to the province of Cavite.
The avenue is approximately five kilometers long and thirty-five meters wide, with four lanes in each direction.
Key landmarks include the Department of Foreign Affairs and SM Mall of Asia, the largest shopping mall in Asia.
There has been a notable increase in vehicular and pedestrian accidents along the avenue attributed to high traffic volume and incidents of reckless driving, including drag racing during nighttime.
The regulation aims to address these safety concerns and reduce accidents and related casualties.

The regulation was enacted pursuant to Section 6 of Republic Act No. 7964, granting authority to the Metro Manila Council to set speed limits.
The regulation was formally adopted by the Metro Manila Council after due deliberation on June 23, 2011.

Any driver found violating the 60 km/hr speed limit shall be subject to a fine of Two Thousand Pesos (P2,000.00).
Violators are also required to attend a seminar.
The imposition of fines and seminars follows Article XII Section 57 of Ordinance No. 3780, Series 2006, and Ordinance No. 05-04 (56), Series 2004 (commonly known as the Traffic Code of Pasay and Parañaque).

This regulation takes effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in two newspapers of general circulation.

The speed limit applies uniformly to all vehicle types, ensuring standardization and clarity.
The regulatory measures emphasize traffic safety enhancement in a high-risk area with significant commercial establishments and pedestrian activity.
Penalties combine monetary fines and mandatory educational seminars to deter violations and promote compliance.
The enactment reflects a response to public demand and government responsibility to safeguard road users on a critical transportation corridor.
