this is both good and bad news. Bad news is - around 320,000 new cars are added on our roads (mostly EDSA) per year. Thats roughly around 1,440 km long stretch of cars when measured end to end. Do the math. Thats roughly an additional of 10km long of cars added in each lane of EDSA per year! #trafficisforever
