i ) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT. JOINT MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 2018-901 Date: [1?_] Jenuary 2018 For: Provincial Governors, City Mayors, Municipal Mayors, Presiding Officers and Members of the Sangguniang Pantalawigan/ Paniungsod/ Pambayan, Provincial/City/Municipal Local Government Operations Officers, Regional Directors of the Department of Transportation, Land ‘Transportation Oflice, Department of Public Works and Highways and the Department of the Interior and Local Government, and All Others Concerned Subject: Guidelines and Standards for the Cia sification of Roads, Setting of Speed Limits Under Republic Act No. 4136, and Collection of Road Crash Data L Declarat 8 of Policy ‘The occurrence of road crash fatalities and injuries is a serious public health issue that must be addressed globally, as an estimated 1.2 million die and over 50 million are injured in road crashes across the world every year. In the Philippines, the number of Toad crashes has been rising steadily from 12,875 in 2013 to 32,269 in 2016 based on data from the Philippine National Police. According to the most recent available data from the Philippine Statistics Authority, the number of deaths attributable to road crashes has also been rising, from 8,023 in 2011 to 8,761 in 2013, Speeding is the most important contributor to road fatalities and is at the core of the road injury problem as it influences both crash risk and crash severity. The setting and strong enforcement of speed limits is one of the most effective interventions in significantly redueing road crashes and road crash fatalities and injuries. However, in the Philippines, the level of speed limit enforcement is very low. The participation of local government units is vital in improving the level of speed limit enforcement in the Philippines. Sections 35 and 38 of Republic Act No, 4136 (RA 4136) or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code prescribes the maximum allowable speed for specific road classes and motor vehicles, and mandates local overnmentt units (LGUs) to classify roads within their jurisdiction for traffic urposes, Under Sections 447 (a}(5)(vi) and 458 (a\(5)(wi) of Republic Act No. 7160 (RA 7160) or the Local Government Code, City and Municipal Governments have the power fo regulate traffic in all streets and bridges within their territorial boundariesand fo enact measures that will enhance public health, safety, convenience, maintain peace and order, and promote the general welfare of their inhabitants, However, many City and Municipal Governments in the Philippines have not yet classified roads within their jurisdiction or set local speed limits pursuant to their mandate under RA 4136 and the Local Government Code. There is, thus, a compelling need for City and Municipal Governments to issue speed limit ordinances. Further, there is a need to harmonize the road classifications under RA 4136 and the existing road classification by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) under DPWH Memorandum dated 14 April 2014 in order to inform the public of the applicable speed limits on all roads. The collaboration between LGUs and relevant national government agencies is vital in order to improve speed limit enforcement in the Philippines and, ultimately, curb the rising number of road crashes in the Philippines, Additionally, the timely and comprehensive collection of reliable data is crucial in improving road safety policy- making, and in monitoring and evalusting the impact of this Joint Memorandum Circular and other road safety policies. The DOTr, the Land Transportation Office (LTO), the DPWH, and the Department of the Interior and Local Govemment (DILG) hhave thus agreed to collaborate in order to improve the level of speed limit enforcement and road crash data collection in the Philippines. II. Guidelines and Standards In View of the supervisory powers of the DILG over LGUs and pursuant to RA 4136 and the rules and regulations issued by the DOTr and DPWH, all City, Municipal and Provincial Governments are enjoined to adopt and observe the following standards and guidelines in the formulation of ordinances and related issuances on road classification and speed limit enforcement.
