NCAP Reduces Traffic Violations in Quezon City, But Road Markings Remain a Concern

Quezon City Traffic Violations Drop Amidst NCAP Implementation; MMDA Addresses Road Marking Concerns Quezon City, Philippines – A recent news report highlights a noticeable decrease in traffic violations in Quezon City following the implementation of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP). On Friday, May 30th, 2025, the number of violations was significantly lower than on previous days, prompting discussion among city officials. According to a report from News5, reporter Dave Abuel observed firsthand the reduced traffic flow on Commonwealth Avenue. Abuel stated, "The number of motorists passing through here on Commonwealth Avenue Eastbound is noticeably lower today, likely due to the heavy rain and the NCAP." The MMDA has acknowledged concerns about unclear road markings, particularly on Commonwealth Avenue, and is considering a more lenient approach to penalties in those areas. An MMDA spokesperson is quoted as saying, "We are aware that some road markings are unclear and are working to rectify this. We may offer leniency on penalties until the markings are improved." The decrease in traffic violations is a positive development for the city, although the issue of road markings needs to be resolved swiftly for the policy to be completely effective. The MMDA is already working on a solution and plans to hold a meeting to discuss further improvements.
