While quarantine restrictions have been eased in Metro Manila and other areas, transportation authorities warned motorists anew to strictly follow road protocols in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) as penalties await for violators.
According to the Land Transportation Office , failing to observe safety guidelines issued by the transportation and health authorities has corresponding violations of laws and regulations in land transport.
“Yun ang kautusan galing sa IATF kaya sinusunod lang natin. Hindi natin pwedeng baguhin. Hindi naman naka-qualify kung may kasama ka o mag-isa ka lang. Nakalagay dapat magsuot ng face mask at all times,” Galvante explained. Based on the guidelines of the Department of Transportation , all motor vehicles, public and private, are only allowed to ferry 50 percent of its maximum passenger capacity.
Backriding on motorcycles is still prohibited during the GCQ period in compliance with physical distancing requirements, the LTO added.
