Bonifacio Avenue Rizal Avenue Del Pan Marcos Highway MacArthur Highway C-6 Road "The extended coding hours and expanded coverage of the 'no window hours' policy are aimed to decongest traffic flow and reduce volume of vehicles on national roads in Metro Manila," said the DOTr. In line with this, the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) are studying the possibility of expanding the number coding scheme in anticipation of a higher traffic volume. MMDA officer-in-charge chairman Romando Artes did say however, that an expended number coding scheme will not be immediately imposed should the March 1 switch be approved. Artes said during a press briefing that the MMDA are still studying whether to expand the number coding hours from 7:00am t0 9:00am and 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
