Currently, there are only two MMDA groups dedicated to road-clearing operations.
The strike force would address the common practice of apprehended vehicles going back to where they were parked illegally once the clearing operations are over.
Artes clarified that the temporary restraining order on "no contact apprehension" scheme does not apply to the strike force, as their enforcers will issue actual tickets.
MMDA also encourages the public to report areas with high instances of illegal parking for the strike force to address.
Menwhile, the MMDA has not yet set a specific date for the removal of the window hours in the number coding scheme.
