The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will look into the feasibility of a lawmaker’s proposal to implement a weeklong number coding scheme to further regulate vehicular traffic this holiday season. Under a proposal from House Minority Leader Danilo Suarez, a three-digit coding scheme can be implemented on weekdays, and a two-digit coding scheme on weekends. The Quezon province representative did not give specifics when he broached the idea in a privilege speech on Monday. ADVERTISEMENTUnder the current scheme implemented Monday to Friday, vehicles are banned from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. based on the last digit of their license plate. Orbos said he would take up Suarez’s proposal tomorrow with the Metro Manila Council, and later with the Interagency Council on Traffic.
