Mabuhay Lanes

Mabuhay Lanes are a network of roads in Metro Manila designated as priority traffic corridors, serving as alternate routes to the existing radial and circumferential road system of Metro Manila.
It was established in 2010 by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) under chairman Francis Tolentino and Metro Manila Council through the issuance of MMDA Resolution No. 10-26 series of 2010, which designated six north-south routes parallel to the heavily congested EDSA as Christmas Lanes and Mabuhay Lanes. These routes were eventually expanded to 17 routes and retained permanently.[1][2]

These segments are also subject to routine MMDA patrols that conduct vehicle impoundment via towing and clearing of other road and sidewalk obstacles.[2]
