Included in the areas where the NCAP will be implemented, enabling traffic violators to be ticketed without being stopped by traffic enforcers, are C-5 and EDSA.
Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra stated that the implementation of NCAP also extends to Katipunan, Marcos Highway, Roxas Boulevard, Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon Avenue, West Avenue, E. Rodriguez Avenue, and Gil Puyat Avenue.
According to Supreme Court spokesperson Camille Ting, the en banc has agreed to the urgent motion filed by the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), representing the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), to lift the TRO on NCAP to help ease the worsening traffic flow in Metro Manila.
The lifted TRO on NCAP applies only to the MMDA and does not relate to the enforcement of traffic laws by local government units.
"The reinstatement of NCAP is expected to strengthen the agency's traffic management along EDSA and other major thoroughfares, utilizing closed-circuit television cameras, digital cameras, and other technology to capture videos and images of traffic violators, record traffic violations, and issue citations," the MMDA statement read.
The MMDA expects that the reintroduction of NCAP will foster discipline among motorists on the roads.
