TRAFFIC PATROL: MMDA to suspend number coding on Nov. 16-18

MANILA — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said Wednesday it would suspend the number coding scheme from Nov. 16 to 18 in line with the special non-working holiday for the ASEAN Summit.

At the same time, the MMDA announced that mall operating hours in Metro Manila would be adjusted from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Nov. 16 to Dec. 25. 

Mall-wide sales will be prohibited on weekdays but allowed on weekends, the agency added. 

It said mall operators should submit traffic management plans at least two weeks before implementing any sale.
