To ease the worsening traffic in Cavite, the number coding scheme will be implemented in 2018.
In an interview with DZMM TeleRadyo, Cavite Governor Boying Remulla has confirmed that the new policy will take place starting January 1 next year.
Number coding scheme or Unified Vehicular Reduction System in Cavite was previously scheduled to be implemented earlier this year, but it went through more consultation and revisions.
According to Gov. Remulla, the new rules and regulations include private cars, vans, and trucks. Those who have registration in Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) are exempted.
Public utility vehicles (PUVs) like jeepneys, buses, tricycles as well as school buses are also exempted from number coding. Emergency and Government vehicles are also not covered by the scheme.
The number coding scheme will be in effect from 7am to 10am and 3pm to 7pm, from Monday to Friday. Both Saturday and Sunday are not included.
