The Quezon City (QC) government temporarily stopped a planned new traffic management scheme and re-routing plan that will affect parts of Barangay South Triangle.

The one-way scheme plan has been placed on hold until all road and drainage improvement projects have been completed, QC announced Wednesday.

The new plan was supposed to set a one-way traffic policy along the following areas in Barangay South Triangle:

- Panay Avenue, one way from EDSA to Timog Avenue

- Mother Ignacia Avenue, one way from Timog Avenue to EDSA

- Sgt. Esguerra Avenue, one way from Quezon Avenue to Timog Avenue

- E. Lopez Drive, one way from EDSA to Sct Albano to Quezon Avenue

- Scout Bayoran, one way from Mother Ignacia Avenue to Sgt. Esguerra Avenue

- Scout Madriñan, one way from Sgt. Esguerra Avenue to Mother Ignacia Avenue

- Scout Tobias , one way from Timog Avenue to Scout Borromeo

- Scout Tuason, one way from Mother Ignacia Avenue to Timog Avenue

- Tomas Morato Avenue, one way from Timog Avenue to E. Lopez Drive

- Scout Torillo, one way from Scout Bayoran to Timog Avenue

- Scout Ybardolaza, one way from Timog Avenue to Scout Borromeo

- Scout Santiago, one way from Quezon Avenue to Panay Avenue

- GMA Network Drive, one way from Timog Avenue to EDSA

Meantime, Scout Borromeo and Samar Avenue are designated as two way roads.

The traffic scheme was supposed to take effect on September 15 but had to be put on hold indefinitely as the Department of Public Works and Highways has yet to give a date on when it would complete road construction projects in the area.

The new traffic plan was planned in June in a bid to decongest traffic along Quezon Avenue.

It was also meant to give way to the local government's plan to turn the area into a tourist destination by constructing a "big rotunda" with a "Hollywood-like Walk of Fame showcasing the country's two biggest television networks," Quezon City Department of Public Order and Safety officer Dexter Cardenas said.

"The Department of Transportation, business owners and residents living in affected areas gave their nod to the plan that was initiated by the local government, in coordination with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Highway Patrol Group (HPG)," Cardenas added.

The local government guaranteed that traffic advisories and signages will be installed within Barangay South Triangle to guide motorists as soon as the new traffic management scheme is implemented.
