Loop detectors or sensors are set to replace the timers of all traffic lights in the intersections across Metro Manila in two to three years.

According to Joseph Morong’s report on “24 Oras”, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has been slowly changing the timers with its adaptive sensor traffic control system.

The new technology entails the installation of loop detectors or sensors that will determine the flow of traffic in the intersections. “Usually ang reklamo ng mga motorista 'walang dumadaan sa lahat ng approach kami meron' pero wala pa yung time nila kailangan nila ubusin yung isang minuto o higit pa,” said Engr. Jemima Ann Ado from the MMDA.

The MMDA started the project in 2012, the report said. Presently, traffic lights using sensors are used in more than 200 intersections in the National Capital Region.“Hindi ka nabubulaga, makakapag-prepare ka,” a motorcycle driver said.“Para mabigyan ng another two seconds para magkaroong ng pagkakataon na makatawid sa intersection,” MMDA Traffic Engineering Section Chief Engineer Francisco Pesino said.
