The fine for breaching the city’s bicycle law will increase to P1,000 if the 19th municipal council accepts the updated rules. The CTTMO currently has a 10-man enforcement squad in place to ensure those bike lanes are used properly in the city.
The CTTMO delineated bike lanes on many city streets last year. Wearing protective gear and not crossing designated bike lanes prevent cyclists from cycling on the roadways.
Meanwhile, while the traffic light was red, a traffic marshal and a habal-habal motorist engaged in a fist brawl in the middle of the road in Cebu City. A worried motorist filmed the commotion between a traffic marshal and a habal-habal driver under a bridge in Barangay Lahug on film.
Both were wearing helmets that delivered punches and kicks as motorists watched on. The traffic marshal allegedly charged the driver with passing a red signal.
