(UPDATE) ILLEGAL turning, or making a turn from the wrong lane or in an improper manner, emerged as the most frequently recorded traffic violation in 2025, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Traffic Ticket Management Division said on Saturday. Unattended illegal parking ranked second, with vehicles repeatedly left along major roads and inner streets, blocking traffic flow and emergency access. Ignoring traffic signs placed third, indicating a routine noncompliance with basic road rules that are closely monitored under the no contact apprehension policy (NCAP) system. Violations of the number coding scheme landed fourth, while unattended illegal parking completed the list of the top five offenses for the year. According to the agency, strict enforcement through NCAP and on-ground operations remains central to its Metro Manila Road Safety Action Plan, which aims to reduce road-related deaths by improving discipline among motorists. As of November 2025, the MMDA recorded more than 252,000 traffic violations detected through NCAP, with about 119,000 cases already reviewed and confirmed as enforceable offenses.
