The holiday season in the Philippines is a festive time, but it also comes with its own set of challenges, especially for motorcycle riders. With traffic jams, crowded parking lots, and an increase in road activities, navigating through the chaos can be daunting. However, with the right preparation and planning, riders can still enjoy the holiday season safely and efficiently.
Below are a few tips to help you tackle the holiday rush when riding your motorcycle.
Plan your routes ahead of time
The holiday season often entails traffic that is heavier than usual, so plan your routes carefully. Use navigation apps to check real-time traffic conditions before heading out. Doing so can help you identify alternate routes that are less congested, and you'll also get to have a better idea of your estimated arrival times, so you can gauge whether leaving a bit earlier will save you more time in the long run. Stay updated on road conditions and check local traffic reports before leaving. It's also a good idea to have a backup plan and identify nearby service stations and hospitals in case of any emergencies.
