Number coding suspended on Oct. 24, 2024 due to Kristine

The expanded number coding scheme will remain suspended on Thursday, October 24 amid the bad weather brought by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said.

“Mananatiling suspendido ang pagpapatupad ng Expanded Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) o number coding scheme bukas, Oktubre 24 (Huwebes), dahil sa patuloy na nararanasang pag-ulan dulot ng bagyong #KristinePH,” the MMDA’s advisory read.

(The implementation of the Expanded Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program or number coding scheme will remain suspended tomorrow, October 24 (Thursday), due to the continuous rains caused by tropical cyclone Kristine.)

As of Wednesday afternoon, Metro Manila is under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2, according to the state weather bureau PAGASA.

Kristine is expected to make landfall over Isabela either on Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. It may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Friday. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/VBL, GMA Integrated News
