Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), is the main circumferential road and highway of Metro Manila in the Philippines. It is an important commuting artery between the northern and southern parts of the metropolitan area. EDSA is a partially-controlled access, mostly 10-lane divided highway (expressway) with interchanges along its length that eliminate the need for traffic lights, though traffic lights exist where there is insufficient space or funds for a complete interchange. EDSA handles around 225,000 cars per section on average every day.[1] Image File history File links EDSA.jpg Summary Epifanio de los Santos Avenue corner West Avenue and North Avenue Quezon City Philippines Photo taken 2:00 am UTC Licensing Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version... “km” redirects here. ... “Miles” redirects here. ...

Traffic management

Being the most important artery of the metropolis, EDSA handles a significant volume of the traffic that flows through the cities of Metro Manila. An average of 2.34 million vehicles go through EDSA every day.[2] For the capital city of the Philippines, see Manila. ...


The lead agency that manages the flow of traffic along EDSA is the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), an agency that is under the Office of the President and is advised by the Metro Manila Mayors League. One of the MMDA's traffic management schemes that is in effect on EDSA, among other major thoroughfares, is the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program, commonly known as the Number Coding Scheme. Many people observe that the cause of traffic jams on EDSA are erring bus and jeepney drivers especially as a multitude of the public utility vehicles they drive are unlicensed or "colorum". Subsequently, buses have been the target of other traffic management programs, like the MMDA's Organized Bus Route Program.[3][4] This article is about an agency. ...

List of billboard related incidents and accidents along EDSA

Date Results
September 28 to October 1, 2006 Some of the billboards along EDSA were toppled by Typhoon Milenyo, most notably the ones at the Ortigas Avenue junction in Mandaluyong. After a month, some of the billboards were put up again, while others were confiscated by the Metro Manila Development Authority.
November 30 to December 1, 2006 The number of billboard related incidents caused by Typhoon Milenyo led the government to plan the retraction and removal of billboards from Monumento to the SM Mall of Asia, as a precaution to Super Typhoon Reming which was forecasted to pass over Metro Manila, potentially causing more damage. However, the typhoon did not directly hit the metropolis, but due to strong rain showers, many of the billboards remained.
Mid-March 2007 During the May 14, 2007 elections, actor and UNESCO Commissioner Cesar Montano put a billboard up along EDSA as he was running for the senate. Since campaign advertising through billboards is considered illegal for any and all political candidates, the authorities removed his billboard located along the part of EDSA beside the Pasig River (Makati-Mandaluyong-EDSA Boundary), near Robinson's Pioneer. Montano confronted the authorities on the Guadalupe Bridge and talked withMMDA employees while they removed his billboard.[citation needed]
April 2 to 10, 2007 The billboard advertisements beside the Manila MRT were reported to have black paint thrown at them. On April 9, 2007, the MMDA removed the ads that were affected by the black paint. The government then planned to initiate a campaign to apprehend those who vandalized the billboards by means of advertising the offenses, and posted the advertisements from North Avenue, Quezon City to Taft Avenue in Pasay City. It was discovered later on that it was a criminal youth gang that was responsible for the billboard vandalisms.
