MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Wednesday said it is looking into reopening two U-turn slots along EDSA for the sake of motorists this Christmas season.

“We are considering re-opening two U-turn slots. The first one (is on) North Avenue, and (the other) on Congressional Avenue. But if we push through with the reopening of U-turn slots, it won’t be like these four,” Celina Pialago, MMDA spokeswoman, said in an interview with ABS-CBN News Channel when sought for comment about reopening U-turn slots during the holidays to ease traffic congestion.

Pialago said so far they closed six U-turn slots along Edsa “in order to speed up the travel of buses using Edsa busway.”
