Here in manila traffic can be very hectic, especially during the day. Even people can be traffic besides vehicles coming along through the streets. Sometimes you have to watch out where you go when going across. Is it like that where you are from?

Traffic in our area isn't so bad except when there is construction or repair being done on the roads. I live in a small city; however, there is not much people and transportation except in the early hours of morning where most if not everyone are off to work and in the late afternoon. You get to arrive on time for an appointment without having to leave the house hours before schedule. I lived in Manila in my youth and traffic was really awful even then especially when it rains. I remember going to school at 6 AM in time for the 8 AM class. I learned how to run after jeepneys in order to get a ride. There was no LRT back then but the businesses were really thriving. Manila during my youth was a lot different than Manila now.

We have a major major traffic here in our place specially in part of Imus, Sometimes there was a time that we need to walk because of traffic. I hope our government can do something about the traffic. Out village already solve the traffic problem by renovating the road for expansion but the highway are still hassle.

Hi pinksoda, I live in the outskirt area of the town, so there is no traffic congestion in my area. Traffic congestion normally will happen during festive seasons in the town area. We usually find difficulty when crossing the streets during these festive days. It is also quite difficult for me to find a car parking lot. If we simply park the car by the road side we will have the risk of being fined at anytime.

Traffic in my area is worst.The streets are always blocked with the vehicles ,banging each other.Streets are less wide but the cars are big.There are some areas where traffic is o.k. but mostly here the traffic conditions are very bad. Usually the traffic is blocked at the red lights. At night only the traffic becomes fine.

Depends on the day, but traffic here isn't really that crazy. Just when people wake up early in the morning like around 5AM then head off to the freeway it gets pretty bad since San Diego is becoming populated like no tomorrow. Then during around 5PM in the afternoon people heading back south it gets crazy on traffic as well.
