HERNANDEZ AVENUE FROM THE CORNER OF PRIETO STREET TO ZAMORA STREET AS A NO‑PARKING AND WHEEL‑CLAMP ZONE FROM 5:00 P.M. TO 10:00 P.M. TO SERVE AS THE DESIGNATED VENDORS AREA OF THE NAGA CITY PEOPLE’S MALL

Sponsor: Hon. Vito C. Borja II

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The City Government of Naga recognizes the need to establish stable and organized vending spaces for ambulant vendors to promote livelihood security, uphold public order, and ensure proper regulation of informal economic activities.

The implementation of the measure from August 18 to 31, 2025 effectively decongested sidewalks and improved pedestrian and vehicular flow along major thoroughfares and commercial areas, particularly in Barangay Abella and J. Hernandez Avenue.

To maintain order and enforce traffic regulations within and around the designated vending area, it is necessary to declare the area as a No‑Parking and Wheel‑Clamp Zone during vending hours to deter illegal parking and ensure unobstructed access for vendors and the public.
