INTRODUCTION

Traffic is one of the most significant issues confronting our country today, not only
in cities but also in the provinces. It happens during peak hours in the morning or
evening, when people are on their way to work or school. As populations rise, there will
be an increase in the number of vehicles in many areas, but if land space does not
increase, traffic congestion will result. Major causes of traffic congestion include
transportation systems. So even a simple trip to a fast food restaurant or supermarket
could take close to an hour.

There is a lot of traffic in Lucban, Quezon, especially during the weekdays, when
many commuters, primarily workers and students from the public and private sectors, as
well as those working in businesses, are affected. According to Hartgen, Fields, Layzell,
and San Jose (2014), approximately 25% of employers and 38% of large employers
report that managers frequently complain about traffic, particularly as it relates to
employees' tardiness to work. Heavy traffic will undoubtedly create challenges for
commuters, as well as traffic jams and traffic conflicts.

It is a growing concern for all citizens, especially drivers and commuters, whose
viewpoints should be considered when creating appropriate solutions. In the Philippines,
several government agencies are in charge of traffic management. Among the agencies
involved are the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, the Department of
Transportation and Communications, the Department of Public Works and Highways,
Traffic Engineering, the Philippine National Police-Police Highway Patrol Group, the
Land Transportation Office, and the Local Government Traffic Management Office
(Soriano, 2012). The government has proposed numerous solutions, but none of them
have been successful.
