PNP urges motorists to follow traffic rules during Asean Summit

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has issued a directive to motorists to adhere strictly to traffic protocols during the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit, scheduled to take place from November 15 to 18.

Police officials emphasized the importance of following established traffic rules and showing consideration toward fellow road users during the international gathering. The measures are designed to prevent road incidents and guarantee the safety of all travelers moving throughout the metro during the summit period.

Authorities have urged the motoring public to plan their routes in advance and allow extra travel time to accommodate anticipated congestion in areas hosting summit activities. The PNP stressed that cooperation between drivers and law enforcement personnel will be crucial to maintaining order on the roads.

The appeal comes as the country prepares to host regional leaders and delegations for the high-level summit. Officials have indicated that increased police presence and traffic management measures will be in place to facilitate smooth movement while upholding safety standards.
