Traffic code hopes to minimize traffic in Boracay

A traffic code to be implemented soon hopes to minimize the worsening traffic condition in this resort island.

Cezar Ocson Jr., senior officer of the Malay Transportation Regulation, said that they are now on the final stage of the proposed traffic code. The code hopes to be implemented before the Asia Pacific Economic Conference (APEC) hosting in Boracay in 2015.

"Among those stipulated (in the code) is the putting up of limit of service vehicles of each resort depending on the capability of the hotel," he said

It was gathered that several hotels here are intending to buy more service vehicles because of the increasing number of tourist arrivals.

Aside from tourists vehicles, to be regulated also are those delivery vehicles operating in Boracay.

Oczon said they have been receiving concerns on traffic condition for the APEC.
