Las Piñas Traffic and Number Coding Overview
Las Piñas City serves as a vital southern gateway connecting the National Capital Region to Cavite province. The city’s primary vehicular artery, Alabang-Zapote Road, handles extreme daily traffic loads between SLEX in Muntinlupa and the coastal highway in Zapote.
To balance congestion management with local resident access, the Las Piñas City Government implements the MMDA UVVRP alongside a unique internal subdivision transit system known as the Friendship Route.
Window Hours on Alabang-Zapote Road
On Alabang-Zapote Road and other primary corridors, window hours are observed from 10:01 AM to 4:59 PM on all weekdays.
During this window, coded vehicles may travel on Alabang-Zapote Road freely. Outside of this window (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM), coded private vehicles are prohibited on public main roads.
The Friendship Route Sticker Exemption System
Las Piñas residents who obtain an official Friendship Route Sticker from the Las Piñas City Hall enjoy a unique privilege:
The sticker grants authorized private vehicles access through participating private residential subdivision gates throughout Las Piñas, allowing residents to bypass Alabang-Zapote Road entirely during rush hours. Note that having a Friendship Route sticker does not exempt your vehicle from coding if you drive on Alabang-Zapote Road itself during peak ban hours.
