Megadike Road

Angeles City-Porac Rd.- 2-lane road heavy with 24-hr. traffic of heavy sand-laden or loading trucks. Traffic slows down where constricted with passenger vehicles and parked sand-plying trucks are at populated areas within the northern limb and gets very dusty where trucks come from or bend off to sand quarries.

Let's advise our motorist to keep his or her windows closed or wear eye protection to keep visibility.

Megadike Road - recommended daytime road, between Bacolor and Porac towns, to avoid the San Fernando to Angeles, and vice versa, unwieldy traffic mucous, high atop at the man-made dike at the bedside of the infamous Pasig-Potrero River for light vehicles (4 wheels only) with rare witnessing pedestrians, no night illumination nor guard rails.

It has very sparse traffic even at daytime. It's definitely not recommended for night-time travel. There were many low and heavy concrete archs to check heavy trucks (like the heavy sand-laden trucks) from plying this road the last time we passed it 3 yrs. ago., with some having lost their beams. One wouldn't want to be caught at night with a dropped concrete beam, broken truck or maybe littered human heads blocking this high road. Road testing for erosion or earthquake soil-fluidation weakness may have to be researched or undertaken.

Our Philppine roads are loaded with hard obstacles to risk flow by to or from them. This reflects our political condition and maturity (or our lack of).

Caveat and High Hopes!
