Heads up, drivers!

Motorists are prohibited from parking their vehicles on all national highways, including Mabuhay lanes. However, the directive is not applicable to subdivisions and roads that are under existing parking ordinances.
MMDA warned vehicle owners that violators can now be fined for illegal parking and obstruction twice a day for the same violation. Motorists who fail to adhere and remove an illegally parked vehicle even after being notified will be given a new ticket every three hours.

The upsurge in violation fines is based on regulations signed by the governing and policy-making body of the MMDA, the Metro Manila Council (MMC). The new penalties were supposed to be implemented December of last year but were only enacted January 7 of this year due to ticketing collection system issues.
