Road Security

There are no major issues regarding road security in Luzon. Transporters can travel 24/7 in Luzon-wide transport road network except in local governments where timed truck bans and allowable load capacity are imposed. Dalton Pass in Nueva Ecija going to Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela and Cagayan is dangerous, drivers should be careful due to zigzag and uphill road path. For information on Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) truck bans, please see the following link: https://mmda.gov.ph/20-faq/299-truck-ban-ordinance.html. 12 – 14 wheeler trucks are temporarily not allowed in the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) due to repairs made in Candaba Viaduct. Expressways will not allow vehicles with total height exceeding 7.5 meters. Please see the following link for vehicle classifications: http://www.trb.gov.ph/8-transparency/39-vehicle-classifications.html.
