Number Coding Suspended Due to Severe Weather
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced the suspension of the expanded number coding scheme on Monday, September 1, citing the heavy rains affecting the region. This move aims to ease travel difficulties and ensure public safety amid the adverse weather conditions.
Officials urged motorists to exercise caution while driving and to stay updated with the latest weather reports. “Be careful when driving and be sure to be updated with weather reports,” authorities emphasized in a morning statement.
Makati City Also Halts Number Coding
In line with the MMDA, the Makati City government also declared the suspension of its number coding scheme due to the persistent heavy rainfall. The city usually enforces coding regulations but lifts them during holidays or when the national government suspends work in Metro Manila.
Local leaders noted that this suspension aims to provide relief for commuters and prevent traffic congestion worsened by the weather.
Government Work and Classes Suspended
Earlier on Monday, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) announced the suspension of classes and government work in Metro Manila and 16 nearby provinces. This precautionary measure was implemented to protect the public amid the inclement weather.
Community members are advised to plan their day accordingly and heed official announcements to avoid unnecessary risks.
Safety and Updates Remain Priority
Authorities continue to monitor the weather situation closely and will provide updates as necessary. Commuters and residents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and prioritize safety during this period.
With the number coding suspended, traffic management efforts will focus on adapting to current conditions to facilitate smoother movement across Metro Manila.
