467 jaywalkers held

DAVAO CITY—Around 467 Davaoeños were apprehended for violating the city’s anti-jaywalking ordinance just four days after it was reimplemented. Under the Davao City Traffic Code of 1992, pedestrians cannot cross the street outside the pedestrian lane.

City Traffic and Transportation Management Office Chief Rhodelio Poliquit said the ordinance has been “sleeping for a long period of time” and now is the right time to strictly implement it.
