Lapu-Lapu City authorities have unveiled comprehensive traffic rerouting plans in preparation for the anticipated influx of visitors during the Undas season, implementing temporary changes from October 27 to November 3, 2023.
Key Implementation Dates
The traffic modifications will be in effect for eight consecutive days, covering:
- October 27-31 (Friday to Tuesday)
- November 1-3 (Wednesday to Friday)
Affected Areas and Alternative Routes
The rerouting scheme primarily focuses on roads leading to major cemeteries and memorial parks throughout the city. Motorists are advised to familiarize themselves with the designated alternative routes to avoid congestion and delays.
Public Transportation Guidelines
Public utility vehicles will follow specific rerouting instructions during this period. Commuters should anticipate changes in pickup and drop-off points, particularly near cemetery areas.
Safety Measures and Enforcement
Local law enforcement agencies will deploy additional personnel to critical areas to ensure smooth traffic flow and public safety. Traffic enforcers will be stationed at strategic points to assist motorists and pedestrians.
Residents and visitors planning to visit cemeteries during this period are encouraged to:

- Follow designated parking areas
- Cooperate with traffic management personnel
The city government emphasizes that these temporary measures are designed to ensure orderly and safe transportation during one of the busiest periods of the year, when thousands typically visit their departed loved ones.
