An Assessment of the Implementation of Ordinance No. 2019-110 In Catanauan Quezon: Basis for a Proposed Action Plan

The purpose of the study was to create an action plan that will improve the implementation of Ordinance No. 2019-110 in Catanauan Quezon also known as an ordinance requiring all establishments along the main road to provide parking spaces for customers, and providing penalties for violation thereof. Illegal parking can lead to reduce traffic speeds, congestion, and loss of revenue for business establishments violates health and safety protocols, affects maintaining peace and order, and preservation of comfort and convenience of the inhabitants in the community. Frequently the municipality of Catanauan Quezon experienced traffic congestion specifically on main roads due to parked vehicles along right-of-way as per the office of the Sangguniang Bayan. To implement an appropriate response, it is vital to understand the causes and patterns of illegal parking henceforth, to know the people's understanding or awareness of the municipal ordinance.Results show that there is an uncontrollable number of vehicles without parking spaces at home. Moreover, a lack of road planning in the municipality of Catanauan was also observed. Likewise, the store/ merchandise is located on a major road where there is no allotted parking lot for the customers. The study also showed that parking is not allowed in any place which is not designated as parking for all types of vehicles. It showed that the common problem encountered in the implementation of rules and regulations in parking is the information dissemination and the utilization of the loading and unloading zones. It is recommended that the local government should create an ordinance encouraging the community to have parking space at home before acquiring a vehicle. The municipal development council with the help of the barangay local government units may design long-term urban planning that will sustain the road capacity in the next twenty years. All drivers may follow the traffic and road signs including the loading and unloading zones properly.
