on early warning device
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

The Land Transportation District Office in Bais City, Negros Oriental, will soon require drivers of public and private four-wheeled vehicles to carry the prescribed standard early warning devices.

LTO District chief Alberta Janine Lawas said this is in line with a nationwide directive to ensure the safety of road users, especially when vehicles that encounter trouble are forced to park along the road.

While a timeline has not yet been set by the LTO central office on the EWD Law, Lawas appealed to owners of four-wheeled vehicles to begin acquiring the prescribed yellow and red triangles that are to be used as early warning devices.
