Ideas for a better Tomorrow - since 1999.

Please watch the NEW video below regarding the pacification of the newly renovated Abueg Street:

(You can watch the 1st video from a month ago at the bottom of the page.)

And then, after watching the video above, please watch this short reel by clicking on the image to understand what I meant with my suggestion of a "play street":

It's also a perfect case for being compliant with the LAW!

There's a new Government directive requiring measures to
"ensure the safety and security of learners".
Since the little Barangay school is exactly next to this soon-to-be speeding road, the measures to slow the traffic down, for example by simple speed bumps (as you can see in the video above!) should be done NOW before the road construction is finished!

You get to the complete Memorandum website by clicking on this image:

I also have a few other ideas to slow vehicles down, at least on the short part of the road where the kids are playing. For instance some solid plant or flower pots that narrow the entrance and exit. Or a more visible presence of the Police station, perhaps with a booth. A voluntary "School Scout" or Student Guide who slows down the cars manually during morning and evening rush hour when school begins and ends. A blinking red light warning of danger ahead. A big fat sign on both entry sides of that part of Abueg that says
"DAHAN DAHAN! Maaaring ito ang iyong mga anak!"

A dedicated road bump series and tempolimit signs would be minimal requirements.
Here are some other ideas I found on Poe:

Slowing down speeding cars on residential streets without using speed bumps can be achieved through various effective strategies. Here are some options:

Traffic Calming Measures:

- Chicanes: Curved road alignments that force drivers to navigate around obstacles, reducing speed.

- Narrowing Roads: Reducing lane widths can create a perception of a more confined space, encouraging slower speeds.

- Curb Extensions (Bulb-outs): Extending the sidewalk at intersections can narrow the road and reduce vehicle speeds.


Signage and Markings:

- Speed Limit Signs: Clearly posted speed limits, especially if they are lower than the
typical speed limit, can remind drivers to slow down.

- Radar Speed Signs: These interactive signs display drivers' speeds and can encourage them to slow down if they are exceeding the limit.

- Pavement Markings: Using visual cues like "Slow Down" or "Children at Play" painted on the road can alert drivers to reduce speed.


Improved Visibility:

- Landscaping: Trimmed vegetation and well-maintained landscaping can improve sightlines and make pedestrians and cyclists more visible.

- Lighting: Enhanced street lighting can increase visibility at night, making drivers more aware of their surroundings.


Community Engagement:

- Neighborhood Watch Programs: Engaging residents to monitor traffic and report speeding can create a culture of accountability.

- Community Events: Organizing events that promote walking or cycling can raise awareness about the importance of safe speeds.


Enforcement:

- Increased Police Presence: Regular speed enforcement by local police can deter speeding.

- Automated Speed Enforcement: Cameras that issue tickets to speeding vehicles can be effective in maintaining compliance.


Education and Awareness:

- Public Awareness Campaigns: Informing residents about the dangers of speeding and encouraging them to drive responsibly can foster a safer environment.

- School Zones: Implementing special measures in school zones, such as reduced speed limits during school hours, can increase safety.


Alternative Road Designs:

- Roundabouts: Installing roundabouts at intersections can reduce speeds and improve traffic flow.

- Shared Streets: Designing streets that prioritize pedestrians and cyclists over vehicles can naturally slow down traffic.


Implementing a combination of these strategies tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of the neighborhood can effectively slow down speeding cars while maintaining a pleasant residential environment.

If you have any other idea that I can present to the Vice Mayor or the City Council, write me an eMail to:

Thanks!
Remember: Every kid saved is a unique soul that can help us
co-create a better Tomorrow for Palawan.
In the meantime:
Please when you see a speeding car on Abueg later on: make the gesture of "Slow down!"
The more often they see this, the more care they will take.
I mean, it's just ... what, 100 meters? Should be not too hard to pacify this. Let's do it. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Just to show all stakeholders that this is NOT a new idea:

Here are two images from already-built Speed Bumps on other Puerto Streets.
(You can see them both as small video clips in the NEW video above.)

This was the FIRST video regarding the pacification of the newly renovated Abueg Street:

MARAMING SALAMAT FOR YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT!
GOD BLESS YOU!

Best regards, Marc Flint and the "Liberty Kids" of Abueg Street 🥰

 Marc Flint is a Marketing Visionary with 36 years of experience, Future Consultant for several governments and Fortune500 companies such as AUDI and Lufthansa, University Lecturer for Future Marketing since 2000, author of 37 books and mentor with over 7,000 hours of coaching experience over the last 25 years.

He managed to accurately foresee the future of society, economy, and technology dozens of times since the Millennium.
In a legendary 4-pages Essay called "Marketing 2020" that he wrote in 2001 (!), he predicted the iPhone, 3D printers, cryptocurrencies, smart homes, individualized advertising and much more what was back then still considered "Science Fiction". If you can read German, you can still read this visionary article HERE.

In 2000, he prophesied to his students at the University of Berlin that "we will eventually enter an era where it is more lucrative to be a good person.“ In 2002 he called this new era the Purposeconomy. Due to the pandemic lockdowns, this vision became a reality, that everybody calls now "Creator Economy", but it is exactly what he envisioned a quarter century earlier.

Flint predicted also the NEXT phase of the "Human-Centric Economy", which he calls SYNCONOMY since its inception in mid-2022.

His online training programs, seminars, apps, books, and public talks are a source of inspiration for thousands of coaches, consultants, and creators who strive to become the change they want to see in the world. Intentionally, purposefully, sustainably.

Flint is also the co-Founder of the new Web 3.0 community WESION, a visionary UK-based global talent marketplace to enable everybody (especially low-income families in developing countries) to monetize their skills and talents for free and help build the Synconomy together in an ethical, inclusive, sustainable way.

In his spare time, he paraglides, scuba dives, drives his Ducati through the Alps, makes his childhood dreams come true, lies in his hammock on www.bit.ly/FlintBeach and writes pretty good poems about the Future of Humanity.

Since 2020, he lives on the best island in the World, Palawan in the Philippines, where he gives his best every day to make the lives of his Filipino friends and families a bit easier and their Future a bit brighter.

He will soon go back to teaching at the local Palawan State University, this time not "Future Marketing" (like in Berlin 25 years ago) but "Future Economics".
