BACOLOD City – The city council wanted to make sure that there will be no traffic congestion during the Christmas season.

Last week, the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) approved a resolution urging the Bacolod Traffic Authority Office to strictly enforce City Ordinance No. 08-15-729, which regulates the act of procuring or soliciting passengers or would-be passengers for any motorized passenger vehicle on streets, transport terminals and parking spaces.

People doing this are called “barkers.”

Resolution proponent Councilor Ricardo Tan, chairman of the SP committee on peace and order and illegal drugs, said the city discourages the “proliferation of barkers because aside from coercing passengers and drivers to give them their commissions, they also constitute to traffic hazards.”

Tan added that there will once again be heavy traffic as the city enters the holiday season.

He claimed that this is not only because of people being “busy” but also because of the increasing number of barkers on streets, intersections of minor and major roads, malls, school entrances, public markets, and other populated areas in the city.

Tan stressed that these barkers do not have “due regard to traffic rules and regulations.”/PN
