Ang added, “This also complements the ongoing reconfiguration of exit plazas at NAIAX, which should allow for less congestion and help improve motorists’ experience on the expressway.”

However, Ang stressed that the 60 km/h speed limit will continue to be enforced for all motorists on curved sections of both expressways.

“This is to maintain safety, as we do not want to put any motorists at risk of accidents due to miscalculation or oversteering, especially where there are sharp curves, given the limitations to the design of both the NAIAX and Skyway 3,” he explained.

Ang further elaborated that right-of-way issues during the construction of NAIAx and Skyway Stage 3 forced redesigns of some sections and even a number of access ramps, due to very limited space. As a result, portions of both expressways have sharp curves where motorists need to slow down.

To ensure compliance, Ang said traffic patrollers equipped with radar speed guns will continue to monitor and issue citations to motorists caught violating the speed limits. All traffic patrollers are deputized by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to apprehend erring motorists at exits, confiscate their drivers’ licenses, and issue temporary operator’s permits.

“We appeal to our motorists to observe speed limits at our expressway facilities for the safety of all,” Ang concluded.
