THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report CHAPTER 3 3 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY The current and future capacities of the study intersections were analyzed and presented herein. The area was divided into two sections: Solis to Blumentritt and Blumentritt to Calamba. Each section corresponds to two (2) horizon years which were considered in the assessment of the future capacity. The section of Solis to Blumentritt will undergo a rapid construction at the year 2020 and expected to operate at 2025. On the other hand, the section of Blumentritt to Calamba will be analyzed at the year 2025 for the construction period and 2030 for the operation period. Road capacities were analyzed mainly based on their level of service (LOS) and their capacity to carry additional vehicle volumes or margin traffic without being congested.

3.1 STUDY PERIODS

Current capacity analysis was based on the data from the traffic survey results. For the future capacity analyses, the intersections were assessed based on their capacity to carry the future general traffic and the traffic volumes generated during the railway construction and operation. Future general traffic is expected to rise due to increase in population, increase in car ownership and development of new offices, commercial facilities and housing, among others. However, improvements in the and railway network surrounding the rail alignment will also trigger diversion of routes or mode shifting.

In addition to general traffic, during construction period, the railway construction will bring about additional traffic volume in the form of trucks carrying soil fills, facilities, construction wastes among others, concrete mixers, coasters for workers and others. These construction-related vehicles will be plying to and from the construction yards that are located along the railway alignment. The viability of these locations to be opened as construction yards will be influenced by the capacity of the surrounding roads to carry the additional construction vehicle volumes.

Moreover, traffic conditions during this operation period will also be affected by the generation of feeder transportation to/from the railway stations and the shift in mode usage from existing public and private modes to the rail mode.

3.2 METHODOLOGY

The types of analysis that were performed to further synthesize the results of the survey are as follows:

a. Intersection delay as measure for level of service (LOS) b. Queuing analysis c. Signal optimization of signalized intersections

Calculation of margin for additional vehicles during construction and operation periods.

PTV VISTRO 6, a traffic engineering software, will be used for all these analyses. PTV VISTRO is a traffic engineering software used to evaluate the impacts of proposed future developments on the transportation network for small and medium sized networks. It is considered as an all-in-one solution for traffic analysis needs, where one can analyze traffic operations, evaluate new development impacts and optimize signal timing. It can be utilized to analyze an interaction, a corridor or a road network.

The analyses in PTV VISTRO are conducted based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 6th Edition. HCM is a most widely used and accepted traffic analysis technique that serves as standards of several countries in defining their respective road capacity manuals.

For this study, level of service (LOS) is the parameter being used to examine the capacity of road sections and intersections. LOS is a standard used to analyze the operating conditions of a given roadway segment or intersection. It is defined based on a scale represented by LOS A to LOS F. LOS A represents free flowing traffic conditions with no restrictions on maneuvering or operating speeds, low traffic volumes and high speeds. LOS F represents forced flow, many stoppages, and low operating speeds. It is standard norm for public roads to maintain LOS D or better at existing intersections and roadway segments. a) Intersection Delays and LOS

The main operating parameters in determining LOS as specified in the HCM is the average vehicle control delay per vehicle and volume to capacity ratio (VCR). Based on HCM, the other types of delay are traffic delay resulting from the interaction of vehicles causing drivers to reduce their speed below the free-flow speed, geometric delay caused by geometric features forcing vehicles to reduce their speed in negotiating a system element, and incident delay where additional time experienced as a result of an incident. Delay are calculated in terms of seconds per vehicle (sec/veh) per approach and for the entire intersection.

Unsignalized and signalized intersections have different delay ranges primarily due to driver expectation. Signalized intersections are designed to carry higher volumes of traffic and therefore higher levels of delay are acceptable. On the other hand, the level of service of roundabouts are determined based on volume-weighted mean delay. Table 3.1. summarizes HCM's description of the corresponding LOS levels for each type of intersection. In the study area, twenty-one (21) intersections are modeled as signalized, one (1) is a roundabout while the rest are unsignalized.

Queue length is one of the primary measures of intersection performance, whether signalized or unsignalized. The detailed analysis methodology for Signalized and Unsignalized Two-Way Stop

THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report Controlled (TWSC) and All-Way Stop Controlled (AWSC) intersections can be found in HCM Chapters 18, 19 and 20, respectively.

Queue develops when demand exceeds capacity or when an arrival headway is less than the service time. Queuing inherently forms at intersections where certain approaches are denied of movement. For signalized intersections, this happens when traffic signal halts the flow of a set of movements. For AWSC intersection, this forms in instances when vehicles wait for those ahead of the approach to select a gap in traffic (brought about by opposing and conflicting approaches) through which to execute their desired movements. Queue length is expressed in terms of meters (m). Queue length in meters is calculated by multiplying total vehicles in queue by 7.62 meters (25 feet). An example of the output of queuing analysis from Vistro can be seen in Figure 3.1.

Figure 3.1. Queuing Analysis in PTV Vistro 6 c) Signal Optimization of Signalized intersections

Traffic conditions changes over time. One way of maintaining desired LOS of an intersections is by regularly updating the intersection’s traffic signal cycle lengths, phasing and timing to correspond to the current traffic flow conditions. In this study, signal optimization is performed to the twenty-one (21) intersections with working traffic signals during the surveys to determine any improvement to the existing v/c, delay and LOS based on the weekday AM peak data.

Figure 3.2. Signal Optimization of PTV Vistro 6

Signal optimization is conducted using PTV VISTRO 6. The software is capable of two levels of signal optimizations, namely, local optimization and network optimization. Since the subject intersections are not adjacent to each other, only local optimization of individual signalized intersections is performed. At local level, either “split” only or “split and cycle time” can be optimized. Moreover, optimization of split can be done by two methods, that is, by balancing v/c for each approach and by minimizing the delay of the critical movement. For each of the signalized intersections, the optimized scenario with the lowest delay is presented.

PTV VISTRO 6 software utilizes a simplex algorithm for the split optimization. On the other hand, cycle length optimization is done iteratively by evaluating the cycle lengths based on user inputted lower and upper bounds and step size. d) Vehicle Margin Calculation for Construction Period

Traffic volumes were projected to 2020 and 2025 for the Construction Year using the growth rates determined per survey location to establish the future general traffic. On top of the traffic growth for each survey location, the additional traffic that could still be accommodated was estimated by adding the incremental volumes to the movements going to the construction yards and depot until LOS D, which is the acceptable LOS, was reached.

The additional vehicles entering and exiting the construction yards and depot were assumed to be equal. There could be more than one direction that could be taken to these areas. The distribution of these margin traffic to each of these directions were based on the present volume proportions (volumes in 2018).

For example: In the case of the intersection located in San Pedro - Survey location E15 (J Luna St/ A. Mabini St), the nearest construction yard is CY 7. Construction vehicles are assumed to pass all the legs of the intersection. Traffic distribution to this intersection is based on the current turning movement volume of E15. Figure 3.6 shows the existing volumes of E15 (J Luna St/ A. Mabini St) with the applied growth rate of 1.16.

Figure 3.6. Projected Turning Volumes for E15 during Operation Period (2030)

The total volume going to the direction of construction yard is 425 PCU. The volume proportions of the three movements of concern are as follows:

Thru (from North Leg): 85.88% with 365 PCU Left Turn (from East Leg): 14.12% with 60 PCU

The same method of calculation is done to compute the distribution of trips exiting the construction yard. Trip Distribution for each movement are:

Right Turn: 92% with 483 PCU Thru: 8% with 42 PCU

Trips were added incrementally to the intersection by setting 1 trip in and 1 trip out, generated by the railway station, then checking the LOS of the intersection. If the LOS is better than LOS D both trips in and trips out of the construction yard will increased by 1 until the borderline between LOS D and LOS SMDI CONSULTANTS, INC. | TRAFFIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY 3-10

For the example above, an additional of 224 PCU generated by the construction yard could still be accommodate in the intersection. e) Vehicle Margin Calculation for Operation Period

Traffic volumes were projected to 2025 and 2030 for the Operational Year using the growth rates determined per survey location to establish the future general traffic. On top of the traffic growth for each survey location, feeder vehicles are expected to be added on top of the regional growth brought about by the operation of the railway. The maximum allowable additional traffic due to the feeder vehicles on top of the projected regional traffic were calculated based on the LOS of the intersections.

The effect of feeder traffic is analyzed particularly on intersections near the nineteen (19) railway stations listed in Table 3.3 and shown in Figure 3.7 to Figure 3.10.

The nearest railway station is Muntinlupa Station located at the west of this intersection. Feeder vehicles are assumed to pass along the North, East and South leg of this intersection. Traffic distribution to this intersection is based on the current turning movement volumes of E13. Figure 3.11 shows the turning volumes at E13 (Amparo St./ Rizal St.) with the growth rate of 1.39.

Figure 3.11. Projected Turning Volumes for E13 during Operation Period (2030)

The total volume going to the direction of Muntinlupa Station is 253 PCU. The volume proportions of the three movements of concern are as follows:

Right Turn (from North Leg): 4.35% with 11 PCU Thru (from East Leg): 40.71% with 103 PCU Left Turn (from South Leg): 54.94% with 139 PCU

The same method of calculation is done to compute the distribution of trips exiting the railway station. Trip Distribution for each movement are:

Right Turn: 50.63% with 120 PCU Thru: 43.88% with 104 PCU Left Turn: 5.49% with 13 PCU

Trips were added incrementally to the intersection by setting 1 trip in and 1 trip out, generated by the railway station, then checking the LOS of the intersection. If the LOS is better than LOS D both trips in and trips out of the construction yard will increased by 1 until the borderline between LOS D and LOS E is reached. For the example above, an additional of 94 PCU generated by the railway station could still be accommodate in the intersection.

List of Survey Intersections. Analyses on road section capacity and queuing, delay and LOS of approaches and intersections were undertaken considering the overall AM peak volumes from 7:00AM to 8:00AM of weekday.

4.1 UNOPTIMIZED CONDITIONS it was determined that 21 out of the 45 intersections are already beyond their capacities as characterized by LOS F. The worst delay was calculated for W10 (E&W Service Rds / Abenida Lawton) at 967.40 seconds per vehicle while the longest queue length was determined to be at E18 (Manila S Rd/ Rizal Blvd) which reaches 1.389 kilometers, but this reduces to 339.37 meters once the existing traffic signal is optimized. The delays and level of service are also illustrated in Figure 4.1 to Figure 4.4.

Traffic signals at 19 signalized intersections were optimized and presented in Table 4.2. . The optimal signal phasing and timings for these intersections where determined using the parameters of working traffic signals. The results show improvements in delay and LOS when signal optimization is performed. As discussed earlier in optimization methods are employed and run by the PTV VISTRO software. The level of service of W2 (Tayuman Rd/ Abad Santos St), E1 (Abad Santos Ave/ Hermosa St), E2 (Aurora Blvd/ Dimasalang Rd), E4 (Maceda St/ Espana Blvd), E5 (Gregorio Araneta Ave/ Santa Mesa Blvd), W14 (Manila S Rd/ Susana Rd), W19 (Manila S Rd/ Pulo-Diezmo Rd), W21 (Manila S Rd/ Jose P Rizal St), and S1 (Manila S Rd/ Bucal Bypass Rd) became acceptable after their signals were optimized. The longest queue was determined to be at E18 (Manila S Rd/ Rizal Blvd) which reaches 1389.67 meters, but this reduces 339.37 meters once the existing traffic signal is optimized.

The future traffic analyses for the Commuter line is divided into two sections. The Solis to Blumentritt is to be analyzed in the year 2020 while the Blumentritt to Calamba section at 2025. Traffic volumes were projected to 2020 or 2025, as shown in Table 5.1. In addition to this general traffic during construction period, the railway construction will bring additional traffic volume in the form of trucks carrying soil fills, facilities, construction wastes among others, concrete mixers, coasters for workers and others. These construction-related vehicles will be plying to and from the location of the railway stations.

Several capacity analyses are performed for the construction period, namely, a) LOS analysis and b) construction vehicle margin determination, and c) depot connection

All stations within Area 1 and Area 2 are projected to have delays less than the current condition with delay reduction ranging from 0.61 to 68.15 seconds per vehicle or from 3.71% to 27.11%. Only Survey Location E2 showed improvement of one level in their corresponding levels of service while the rest remained at the same level. On the other hand, all stations within Area 3 and Area 4 are projected to have increase in delay. Stations within acceptable level of service D or better in the current condition exhibited increase in delay ranging from 0.80 to 36.97 seconds per vehicle or from 5.22% to 103.41% worsening the level of service of stations W18 and E12 from D to E and F, respectively. On the other hand, Survey Locations W13, W17, E13, E14, E15, E19, E20, E21 and S3, despite increase in delay and worsening of level of service for some, all remain within acceptable level of service D or better.

5.2 ACCESS TO CONSTRUCTION YARDS

There are twelve (12) construction yards and depot during the construction stage. The construction yards are surrounded within the study area as shown in Figure 3.3 to Figure 3.5. The depot is determined to be located at Mamatid, Calamba, . W8 (Quirino Ave/ Pedro Gil St) and W20 (Manila S Rd/ Mayapa – Canlubang Cadre Rd) will serve as access for two construction yards while the rest will serve one. The transport of construction materials to and from the construction yards along the national roads are expected to create a concentration of construction vehicles. Therefore, the intersections near the alignment and the depot are analyzed to determine their capacity to accommodate additional construction vehicles before reaching congestion level of LOS E. This number of additional construction vehicles is referred to as margin.

On the other hand, construction at the section of Blumentritt to Calamba are set on the year 2025. As observed in Table 5.4, 6 out of 10 intersections are already beyond their capacity during the peak hour as characterized to have a LOS E or F. Similarly, a large margin is observed during the evening period of 10:00PM to 6:00AM. The largest margin is seen at W18 (Manila S Rd/ Rizal Blvd) in the city of Sta. Rosa and the lowest margin is at W10 (E&W Service Rds / Abenida Lawton) in City. W10 is a major intersection as it connects City (Airport Area), Taguig City (), and SLEX/ South Super Highway which explains the worst condition of the intersection.

The depot for North-South Commuter Rail (South Line) will be situated in Mamatid Road in Cabuyao, Laguna. There is route from Manila Port to the depot as seen in Figure 5.9 was suggested by Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) as it is a common truck route even during daytime. There will also be two candidate ports in Manila where large equipment will be imported, namely, Manila International Container Terminal and Manila Harbor Centre.

THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report The route passes through , Padre Burgos Ave., Finance Rd., Ayala Blvd., San Marcelino St., Qurino Ave., SLEX – Cabuyao Exit, Manila S Rd., and Mamatid Rd. Following this route, the trucks will travel approximately 53.7 km to 57.65 km from Manila International Container Terminal or Manila Harbor Centre, respectively. The proposed route will pass through curbs and intersections where the trailer truck will need to maneuver over while turning. The critical areas for turning vehicles along each route have been identified namely, Ayala Blvd/ San Marcelino St, Quirino Ave/ San Marcelino St, Osmeña Hwy/ Quirino Ave, and Manila S Rd/ Mamatid Rd.

In analyzing the clearances between the trucks and the curbs or physical obstructions, swept path analysis using AUTOTURN software was performed to simulate the turning movement of the trucks. The vehicles used in the analysis were first remodeled to follow the dimensions of truck provided by the client. Figure 5.10 shows the dimensions of the trailer trucks used in AUTOTURN. The 36.63-meter trailer truck 1 is assumed to load a 22-meter long rollingstock which will be considered in evaluating clearances.

Figure 5.10. Vehicle Template of the Trailer Truck 1

Table 5.5 provides a summary of results of the swept path analyses conducted to determine the feasibility of two route options to be used as access of Trailer Truck 1 (36.63-meter) long truck from ports to depot. To properly appreciate the results of the study, it is important to note the following assumptions used in the software:

• The shape of the carrier is different from the actual truck. For the analysis, the carrier is assumed to have a uniform width of 3.5m (to simulate the condition of the carrier housing the 3.5m-wide rollingstock) wherein the actual carrier is narrower. • A multi-wheel steering truck can not be simulated in the software thus, if the actual truck has this capability, the clearances are expected to be wider.

THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report • The assumptions in the analysis is conservative therefore, it could be noted that if the truck without multi-wheel steering function can pass the intersection based on the AutoTurn analysis, a truck with multi-wheel steering function can also pass the intersection.

Table 5.5. Results of the Swept Path Analysis Intersection Curve or Trailer Truck 1 No. Intersection With a turning angle of 302°, the trailer truck (occupying the Ayala Blvd/San opposite lanes) cannot turn at the intersection going to San 1 Marcelino St Marcelino St, specially that there is an existing island with street light pole blocking the way. Quirino Ave/San The trailer truck swept path overlaps with the island along 2 Marcelino St Quirino Ave. Osmeña Hwy/ The trailer truck swept path overlaps with the existing 3 Quirino Ave channelizing island at the intersection. Manila S Rd/ Mamatid Rd, having a width of 6.3 meters, gives no room for the 4 Mamatid Rd. trailer truck when turning.

The main issue of concern that resulted from the swept path analysis is the presence of raised and channelizing islands at Ayala Blvd/San Marcelino St (Figure 5.11), Quirino Ave/San Marcelino St (Figure 5.12), and Osmeña Hwy/ Quirino Ave (Figure 5.13). Also, even when the channelizing island is to be removed, there is still a 0.5 meter overlap between the swept path and the intersection curb.

In addition, the Manila S Rd/ Mamatid Rd intersection lacks space during a turn when accessing Mamatid Rd going to the depot. The trailer truck also introduces a safety concern with respect to the pedestrians shoeing along the limited walkway and buying goods from the street vendors.

One of the issues of concern that resulted from the swept path analysis is the presence of moveable barriers along South Luzon Expressway near the intersection of Sales Rd./Lawton Ave (Figure 5.19). Removing the barriers near the right turn along South Luzon Expressway will make way for the trailer truck to turn with ease going to Cabuyao, Laguna Depot.

The section of Blumentritt to Solis is to be analyzed at year 2025 while the section of Blumentritt to Calamba at year 2030. Traffic volumes were projected to 2025 and 2030 using the regional growth rate factor from JICA Design Team, as shown in Table 6.1. Aside from the growth of general traffic, the traffic conditions during this period will also be affected by the generation of feeder transportation to/from the railway stations and the shift in mode usage from existing public and private modes to the rail mode.

Table 6.1. Growth Rates (Operational Period) Area 2025 2030 1 0.9067 0.9273 2 0.8951 3 1.3900 4 1.4106

6.1.1 2025 Operation Period

In the case of Survey Locations W1, W2, W3 and E1, delays will be reduced to 5% to 7% when compared to the 2020 traffic conditions, which corresponds to around 0.97 to 30 seconds delay per vehicle. Survey Locations W2, W4, E1 and E2 will remain at either LOS E or F as characterized by long queues and forced flow condition with momentary stoppage.

During the operation period, the rail crossing at Dr. ML Carreon St. will be changed into a multi-level crossing. A viaduct will be constructed for train operations making Dr. ML Carreon St. not be passable to vehicles having a height of 3.5 meters or more. The number of vehicles that will be passing through this rail crossing during the operation period are summarized in Table 6.4. This will affect the large vehicles passing through this crossing especially those coming to and from the warehouses along Dr. ML Carreon St. Most of these trucks pass through during the truck ban window starting at 10:00AM.

There are two detour routes being examined to address this limited access crossing. Case 1 will require northbound traffic to pass through W8 (Quirino Ave / Pedro Gil St) and W7 (Quirino Ave / Paco – Sta Mesa Road) while the southbound traffic will detour at Cordillera, Lubiran, New Panaderos Extension and Pedro Gil St. as illustrated in Figure 6.6.

For Case 2, those coming from Paco – Sta Mesa Road whose destination is along Dr. ML Carreon St., will also need to pass through W7 and W8 but the current configurations of these intersections do not allow these movements as seen in Figure 6.7. It is assumed in the analysis that these two movements will be permitted. The northbound traffic is still the same as Case 1.

The resulting levels of service were also determined. It can be observed from the results of simulating Case 1 as summarized in Table 6.5 that W7 (Quirino Ave / Paco – Sta Mesa Road) can still accommodate large numbers of trucks. On the other hand, only specific time periods (6:00 to 7:00, 11:00 to 12:00, 15:00 to 16:00, 17:00 to 18:00, 20:00 to 21:00 and 21:00 to 22:00) can accommodate large number of trucks at W8 (Quirino Ave / Pedro Gil St) when compared to the projected number of vehicles that will be diverted.

On the other hand, W8 (Quirino Ave / Pedro Gil St) will be nearing or reaching its capacity from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM if Case 2 will be implemented as diverted trucks will be adding to two movements in the intersection. It is therefore recommended on the basis of the conducted capacity analysis that Case 1 is a better alternative.

THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report CHAPTER 7 7 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter summarizes the results of the capacity analyses conducted, the particular issues of concern per survey location and recommended traffic management measures for Metro Manila and Laguna province.

There will be major disruption in the flow of vehicular traffic in the affected areas once the construction of the railway project proceeds. Effective traffic management measures are needed to minimize these major disruptions such as the following:

• Contain the movement of pedestrians by properly designating and marking pedestrian crossing, implementing an anti-jaywalking policy and improvement of pedestrian facilities. • Causes of roadside friction should be removed such as parked cars, ambulant vendors and loading / unloading of public utility vehicles at different locations. • Construction vehicles should be deployed from 10 PM to 6 AM when the intersections can accommodate more vehicles without experiencing congestion. • Information dissemination using social media, tri-media, preselling to local government units, information, education and communication (IEC) campaigns and the like should be effectively conducted so motorists can avoid the areas affected by the construction. • Transit Oriented Development (TOD) measures to be planned by the TOD team should be considered during the operation period to encourage walking to/from railway stations. • Plan routes for high-occupancy public utility vehicles as feeder mode to the railway stations to minimize the number of private cars plying major roads.

There will be major disruption in the flow of vehicular traffic in the affected areas once the construction of the railway project proceeds. Effective traffic management measures are needed to minimize these major disruptions. It is also important to get the full support of the local leaders in the area in order to implement these traffic management measures. Given that the causes of traffic congestion and delay were already identified, the following traffic management measures and other schemes are recommended to minimize the effect of the construction.

It is also important to get the full support of the local leaders in the area in order to implement these traffic management measures. The following are suggested areas where LGUs can assist in traffic management: • Facilitate meetings with affected groups (tricycle drivers, vendors)

THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report • Help clear the road from illegal parking and ambulant vendors, especially along detours and construction truck routes • Help secure the vicinity of construction sites for safety and security reasons • Assist in the traffic management schemes during construction period, such as in facilitating road closure, whenever necessary, during transport of long trucks carrying rolling stock. There will be provision of traffic barriers, flag men/ traffic enforcers and signages, as part of the cost from the construction contractor during construction period.

7.1 METRO MANILA

The North South Railway Project (Solis to Calamba) will be passing through the cities of Manila, , Taguig, and Muntinlupa. Each city will have a corresponding rail station with Manila having 4 stations (Blumentritt, Espana, Santa Mesa and Paco Stations), Makati having 2 stations (Buendia and EDSA). Taguig and Muntinlupa will have 3 stations each.

THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report 7.1.1 Capacity Analysis

The capacity of 17 out of 28 intersections surveyed within Metro Manila are already at LOS F or LOS E as seen in Table 7.1 which means these intersections are already beyond its capacity or the intersection experiences a high delay. It was observed that 6 intersections (W2, E1, E2, E4, E5, W14) can improved if signal were to optimize. The lowest number of Trucks margin is at W10 at Taguig. When the NSCR – Solis to Calamba line officially operates at 2030, feeder vehicles are expected to be attracted to the railway stations. It was determined that that W10, W11 and E9 are intersections that cannot accommodate anymore vehicle margin as characterized by LOS E or F.

7.1.2 Issues on Traffic Management

Survey Issue Traffic Management Measure Location W1, E1, E6 Presence of side Contain the presence of side vendors such as they do not impede vendors traffic flow. W1 Presence of pedicabs Provide formal terminals to pedicabs and they should be contained adding to road friction in local roads and prohibited in national highways W9, E8 Lack of signages at rail Install appropriate and ample signage meters before the crossing crossing for both directions (westbound and eastbound). E6, W11, Vendors on the Clear the carriageway of the railway alignment. Relocate vendors on E10 carriageway/ rail a safer location. alignment W10, E9, Rampant loading/ Formal loading / unloading stops a few meters before the E10, W13, unloading of buses and intersection should be provided for public transport utility vehicles W14 PUJs to reduce roadside friction. Buses should only load/unload at the terminal.

7.2.1 Capacity Analysis

7 out of the 17 survey intersections located in Laguna have acceptable levels of service considering their current unoptimized signal programs. The highest number of construction vehicles can be accommodate by W18 (Manila S Rd/ Rizal Blvd) in Sta. Rosa while the lowest among those analyzed is at W20 (Manila S Rd/ Mayapa-Canlubang Cadre Rd) in Calamba. When the NSCR already operates, it is also W20 (Manila S Rd/ Mayapa-Canlubang Cadre Rd) that cannot accommodate feeder vehicles anymore, together with survey intersections E16 (Manila S Rd/ San Francisco Rd/ A Bonifacio Rd) and E17 (Manila S Rd/ Malvar St) both in Biñan.

7.2.2 Issues for Traffic Management

Survey Issue Traffic Management Measure Location E17, E18 Unoptimized Optimization of traffic signals according to the vehicle flow will Signal minimize the delays at the intersections. E17, E19, W18 Rampant loading/ Formal loading / unloading stops a few meters before the unloading of buses intersection should be provided for public transport utility and PUJs vehicles to reduce roadside friction. Buses should only load/unload at the terminal. W20, W21 Presence of make-Restrict tricycles from plying along Manila S Road and provide shift tricycle alternative routes. terminal
