Lawyer Jamaal James Calipayan, City Administrator and executive director of the Traffic Enforcement Agency of Mandaue , told CDN Digital via phone interview that they have not yet finalized the ordinance but said that it will be ready in the coming days since they are still using the first few days in educating cyclists on the dos and don’ts on the road.
“What we recommend is if there is a cyclist who violates, we will confiscate his bicycle for 48 hours or two days and impound it. Cyclists will have to undergo a seminar before their bikes will be released,” said Calipayan. Calipayan said that in their recommendation, they have stipulated that violators will not have to pay any penalty fee.As of now, Calipayan said that they will still give cyclists enough time to comply with the guidelines such as securing helmets and upgrading their bikes for additional safety.
