The Ilocos Norte Police Provincial Office (INPPO) has recommended the passage of a provincial ordinance requiring all drivers and riders of motorcycles, bicycles, electric bicycles or e-bikes, tricycles, and farm machinery to wear high visibility vests and visibility stickers when passing through the national highway and all provincial, city/municipal, or village roads. This is due to the increasing number of road crash accidents in the province.

Elmer Faylogna, a member of the provincial board, said on Friday that it was worthwhile to invest in oneself for one’s protection as he hailed the creation of the ordinance at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.

The proposed high visibility vest ordinance, according to Faylogna, intends to increase road safety among drivers, back-riders, and pedestrians, especially at night, when 80 percent of fatal traffic incidents occur.

Faylogna presided over a public hearing at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan session hall attended by concerned local officials and groups of drivers and riders. “For now, the proposed ordinance is being finalized for approval by the provincial board,” he added.

It was suggested that in order to ensure its strict implementation, the provincial administrator’s office, in conjunction with the municipality and barangay local government units, work with the Philippine National Police and the Land Transportation Office to deputize arresting officers, with a corresponding fine ranging from PHP500 to PHP1,500 for first, second, and third offenses.

According to the most recent Ilocos Norte police data, there were 46 traffic accidents during the first quarter of this year, a 60% increase over the 18 that occurred during the same period last year.

Col. Julius Suriben, head of INPPO, noted that since “human error” was a major factor in most accidents, it is also important to improve driver ethics and training.
