The Bacolod City Traffic Authority honored Tatay Antonio Cordero, the oldest traffic enforcer in the city.

Traffic enforcers, often dressed in their uniforms, stand at busy intersections, guiding vehicles and pedestrians. Their job goes beyond merely directing traffic, it involves a balance of patience, precision, and dedication to maintaining order on the streets.

One of the primary objectives of traffic enforcers is to prevent road accidents and maintain a smooth flow of vehicles. They act as guardians of road safety, using their presence and signals to regulate the often chaotic traffic.
