Roxas City Traffic Stand

I like this one. It’s an elevated platform where the traffic officer stands to direct traffic flow. Yeah, very reminiscent of how traffic was controlled in our simple and wonderful past. Unlike most Philippine cities nowadays, where they install automated traffic lights and the officers (yes, plural) lurk at some hidden corner waiting to pounce at you AFTER a violation then say “boss, two thousand yan pag tiniketan kita”! This one in Roxas is real and clear ‘to direct and control traffic flow’. Hope it remains so, indefinitely! Oh, this is not the ‘one and only’ in the city. I know I have seen a similar thing some corners before the city hall (past the Gaisano mall).
