The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has released details on the temporary traffic scheme that will be implemented on Ortigas Avenue for vehicles taking students to La Salle Green Hills. It will be implemented beginning Monday, September 4, 2023.
The new scheme, says the agency, is specifically for morning drop-off of students at the school, and “is a result of the coordination between the MMDA and the management of the school to ease traffic flow in the area.” Check out the details below.
MMDA morning traffic scheme on Ortigas Avenue in front of La Salle Green Hills:
- Gate 4 will be closed. Entrance will be at Gate 5.

The MMDA began focusing its attention on this section of Ortigas Avenue after a viral illegal parking incident in front of La Salle Green Hills—an SUV simply parked right in the middle of the road. Last week, acting agency chairman Romando Artes said that they are looking to tap subdivisions and malls for potential traffic-management solutions around Ortigas schools.
