COVID task force chief orders clearing of bike lanes

The head of the Joint Task Force Coronavirus Disease Shield has urged motorists to respect cyclists on Metro Manila’s streets by not invading bike lanes. | jiandradeINQ

JTF COVID Shield commander Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar on Tuesday warned motorists against parking on bike lanes or using these to avoid heavy traffic, saying “these [do] not only disrespect the bicycle riders but also put their lives at risk.”According to Eleazar, the JTF COVID Shield is coordinating with the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group and local units to clear designated bicycle lanes on major thoroughfares in Metro Manila.

“The keyword here is respect. Just like drivers of trucks, buses and private vehicles, bicycle riders also have the right to use the roads especially if they are already allowed to pass through bicycle lanes that have already been designated by the local government units,” he added.
