The city government has called on residents to observe road discipline and community safety through eight rules as the new year starts.

The local government said Dabawenyos should adhere to the use of pedestrian lanes for safe crossing of the streets to avoid “jaywalking penalties” as embodied under the Comprehensive Transport and Traffic Code of Davao City.

“Secondly, the public should also use overpasses to ensure safe crossing of roads,” the city government said in a statement Thursday.

It also emphasized the proper parking of vehicles in designated areas to avoid inconvenience to other motorists and ensure safe sidewalks for pedestrians.

Fourth on the list is the “don’t drink and drive” rule under the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Law or RA 10586, and fifth is the observance of the city’s Speed Limit Ordinance.

Meanwhile, for community safety, Dabawenyos are urged to practice proper waste disposal in designated areas.

“Dabawenyos are urged to avoid littering and to only throw waste in garbage cans,” the statement said, adding that the measure aligns with the prevention of dengue under the locality’s Mosquito-Borne Viral Disease Prevention Program.

“If our environment is clean, we can lessen bacteria. Also, if our environment is clean we will not have open containers which can be a breeding place for mosquitos,” Tomas Ababon, the city health office in-charge, said in an interview Thursday.

Dabawenyos are also urged to follow the Anti-Nuisance Ordinance, which limits loud noise until 10 p.m. (PNA)
