BAGUIO CITY-Mayor Reinaldo Bautista, Jr. last week approved Administrative Order 39 exempting private vehicles from the traffic number coding scheme from April 1 to May 30.

According to the mayor, the present suspension ends March 31, thus the need for another suspension as “a multitude of vacationers are still expected to spend their summer break here in the city.”

The suspension shall also provide local and foreign tourists, for two months, “a comfortable and stress-free journey” to main attractions of the city, in the comfort of their personal vehicles.

As stated also in the AO, chartered Public Utility Vehicles of visitors/tourists/vacationers and participants of sanctioned activities such as conventions, conferences and assemblies are exempted from the number coding scheme. Appropriate identification that they are participants to said official functions, however, should be presented.

The mayor further directed the traffic management branch of the Baguio City Police Office to strictly enforce the AO.

As per city ordinance 01, series of 2003, the number ending of vehicle plates are used as basis for coding during certain days of the week.

Plate numbers ending in 1 and 2 should not be on the roads during Mondays; 3 and 4 during Tuesdays; 5 and 6, Wednesdays, 7 and 8, Thursdays, and 9 and 0, Fridays.
