The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will start apprehending motorcycle riders using bicycle lanes on EDSA starting Monday, August 21.
According to the MMDA, motorcycle riders using the bike lanes will receive tickets for disregarding traffic signs, and will be fined P1,000.
“Base sa monitoring ng MMDA sa EDSA, napakaraming motorcycle riders ang dumaraan sa bicycle lane. Dahil dito, hindi magamit ng mga nagbibisikleta ang lane na inilaan para sa kanila,” the MMDA said in a statement.
“Ang bike lane ay hindi fast lane para sa mga motorcycles.”
