Various traffic management schemes have been implemented through the years to solve, if not minimize traffic congestion along EDSA. The most recent one is the strict implementation of the Yellow Lane Policy (YLP). Under the said scheme, buses were segregated into their own lane, separate from other vehicular traffic. This study evaluated the effects of the said policy by examining vehicular flow during the morning, noon and afternoon peak periods conducted before and after the strict implementation of the said policy. The vehicular flow values were then multiplied by the average vehicle occupancy, hence coming up with commuter-flow values. This set of values was then used as the dependent variable in a natural log model regressed against the number of violations as the dependent variable. Ultimately, analysis showed that during the time of the observation, the YLP has not improved commuter flow along the chosen segments of EDSA.
