Davao City's Road and Public Safety Measures

Source:
Motorists, beware! Davao City's Executive Order No. 39 prescribing the maximum allowable speed limit within the city is being strictly implemented. It has been two straight days now that I've seen the crew of the Traffic Management Group armed with speed guns newly purchased by the city government. The city government has been very active in reminding motorists in Davao City about the maximum speed limit and large billboards such as the one in the photograph below are prominent in major roads.

Meanwhile, closed-circuit televisions or CCTVs are in place all over Davao to ensure road and public safety and even private establishments such as shopping malls and commercial centers are being ordered, through Executive Order No. 24 issued on September 20, 2013, to install CCTVs.

As of this writing, there are 170 government-installed CCTVs all over Davao City which is a part of the P100-million budget for Intelligence Operations Center that is aimed at improving the local government's response to crimes and disasters.
