In an article written by Maricar Brizuela for <a href="http://motioncars.inquirer.net/43784/mmda-all-set-for-no-contact-policy-traffic-scheme-starts-on-april-15-with-250-new-cctv-cams">Motion Cars</a> on March 28, 2016, it was disclosed that the metro-wide government agency is already conducting tests to ensure the smooth flow of traffic operations using the new system. “We are checking if they can see even from afar the plate numbers of vehicles passing along designated roads,” said Ronnie Rivera; chief of MMDA’s no-contact policy scheme. Rivera also noted that the MMDA is also expecting another set of CCTV cameras that will be installed along Metro Manila’s thoroughfares that will help the agency monitor traffic violators. “We are also waiting for another 100 cameras to help us with the no-contact apprehension policy,” he added. According to the MMDA, the new policy will focus on monitoring those who illegally park their vehicles, stop inside yellow boxes at intersections, drive recklessly, load and unload passengers in prohibited areas, and unlawfully use bus lanes. Upon launching, the “no-contact policy” will be strictly implemented in Metro Manila’s major roadways, such as the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and the C-5 Road. The MMDA will be informing erring motorists about their supposed violations within three days, and suspected violators will be given the chance to contest their traffic citations within seven days. If no protests were made after the grace period, violators will receive a notice of payment for corresponding fines. <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/mmda-adds-more-cctv-cameras-no-contact-apprehension/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
