LTO 11 and partner agencies launch Undas 2026 road safety operation
Oplan Ligtas Biyahe Undas 2026 runs from October 23 to November 4 as travel to cemeteries and memorial parks is expected to rise in Davao City and the region.
The Land Transportation Office 11 (LTO 11) and several partner agencies have launched Oplan Ligtas Biyahe Undas 2026, a road safety operation that will run from October 23 to November 4 to cover the All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day observances, according to Edge Davao.
Joining LTO 11 at the send-off ceremony were the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board 11 (LTFRB 11), the Philippine Coast Guard District Southeastern Mindanao through its Special Action Intelligence and Coordinating Team, the Davao City Police Office's Traffic Investigation Unit and Traffic Enforcement Unit, and the Regional Highway Patrol Unit 11 of the Highway Patrol Group.
The operation is meant to bolster traffic management and road safety as motorists and commuters head to cemeteries, memorial parks and other destinations to remember departed loved ones. The agencies said they will jointly support traffic management, enforce road safety rules and respond to possible safety concerns throughout the period.
In his message, LTO 11 Regional Director Atty. Raphael V. Robillo stressed responsible driving, compliance with traffic laws and close coordination among government offices to prevent crashes and protect motorists, passengers and pedestrians. He described road safety as a responsibility shared by authorities and the travelling public, especially during holidays when traffic may build up on major roads and routes leading to cemeteries.
Motorists were reminded to observe speed limits, follow traffic signs, avoid distracted and impaired driving, and check that their vehicles are roadworthy before setting out. Commuters were urged to stay alert and cooperate with traffic personnel.
LTO 11 said public safety must remain the priority throughout Undas and called on all road users to practise discipline and follow traffic rules.
Why it matters for Davao
Residents travelling to cemeteries and memorial parks during Undas can expect more traffic personnel and enforcement on major routes, and are advised to prepare their vehicles and follow traffic rules.
