Metro mayors to submit list of roads to be exempted from proposed parking ban

Metro Manila Council (MMC) President and San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora said Metro Manila mayors will be submitting a list of roads to be exempted from the suggested parking ban first proposed during a joint meeting between the MMC, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to alleviate the traffic situation in the National Capital Region (NCR).

"Instead of a total ban on 100 percent of roads, the suggestion is for each city to submit a list of roads where one-side parking or parking during certain hours, like nighttime, may be allowed," Zamora said in an interview, adding that a technical working group will be formed to study the recommendations from each local government unit (LGU).
