Implementation of the expanded number coding scheme will begin on August 15, or next Monday.
Based on the latest vehicle colume data collected by the MMDA Traffic Engineering Center, the daily vehicle count on EDSA is expected to surpass 436,000. To put things in perspective, the thoroughfare averaged around 405,000 vehicles per day before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
