Here's a guide for 9 Metro Manila roads where No Contact Apprehension is implemented.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reimplemented the NCAP six years ago through Resolution 16-01, which was approved last February 2016. The agency noted in the said resolution that the NCAP is an effective system for instilling discipline among motorists, findings that the MMDA saw during the six-month trial period.

The Metro Manila Council (MMC) also saw that the NCAP is a “valuable tool in enforcing traffic rules and maintaining order on the roads.”
The NCAP uses closed-circuit television (CCTV) or digital cameras to capture videos and images of motorists who disregard traffic rules and regulations. Other cities in Metro Manila, such as Manila and Quezon City, are implementing the NCAP.
In line with this, the MMDA shared nine major Metro Manila roads where the NCAP is being implemented as of this writing. This includes the following roads:
- EDSA
- Quezon Avenue
- C5 Road
- Roxas Boulevard
- MIA Road
- Commonwealth Avenue
- Mindanao Avenue
- East Avenue
- Congressional Avenue
As mentioned, the NCAP has been facing issues due to the concerns raised by motorists and transport groups. This prompted the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to act on the concerns in regard to the NCAP.
The LTO has called for the suspension of the NCAP, asking all local government units (LGUs) that are implementing the said system to suspend and review the policy first.
The LTO wants to create uniform guidelines for the implementation of the NCAP. The agency has even formed a technical working group (TWG) to discuss possible proposals with the MMDA and LGUs to improve the NCAP.

“We believe that the talks between the LTO, the LGUs, and the MMDA [are] the best way forward to once and for all come up with fair guidelines on the NCAP’s implementation. We hope that LGUs and its mayors will be more open to receive inputs as to how best the NCAP will be implemented,” said Guadiz.
