Closure and Opening of Roads

This document discusses the closure and opening of roads by local government units. It states that local governments may permanently or temporarily close or open local roads, alleys, parks or squares through an ordinance. For permanent closures, the ordinance must be approved by at least two-thirds of the Sanggunian members. No public facility can be permanently closed without providing an adequate substitute or compromising public safety. Freedom parks also cannot be permanently closed without arranging for their relocation. Roads may be temporarily closed for emergencies, events or construction projects as specified in a written order by the local chief executive.

actual emergency, or fiesta celebrations, public rallies, agricultural or industrial fairs, or
an undertaking of public works and highways, telecommunications, and waterworks
projects, the duration of which shall be specified by the local chief executive concerned
in a written order: Provided, however, that no national or local road, alley, park, or square
shall set temporarily closed for athletic, cultural, or civic activities not officially
sponsored, recognized, or approved by the local government unit concerned.

d. Any city, municipality, or Barangay may, by a duly enacted ordinance, temporarily close
and regulate the use of any local ordinance, temporarily street, road, thoroughfare, or any
other public place where shopping malls, Sunday, flea or night markets, or shopping
areas may be established and where goods, merchandise, foodstuffs, commodities, or
articles of commerce may be sold and dispensed to the general public.
