The government, particularly the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) , has intensified its drive to promote road safety to minimize accidents involving motorcycle riders.
The MMDA said it has been coming up with solutions to solve traffic problems and almost all its projects are geared towards public safety. However, it said its efforts would go to waste if the drivers themselves will ignore and disobey traffic rules.
