Put up more and understandable signs!

I got to use the Subic-Clark Toll Expressway last Monday and I say, it's a fun road to use. Mostly straight flat surface with good asphalt where the tires have a very good grip. But there was a problem with signages. At first, I wanted to use it going to subic from the North Luzon Expressway just to avoid the tricycles at the Olongapo-Gapan Road if I'm going to use the San Fernando Exit. But there was no specific sign that tells me that I have to drive all the way to Clark to get into the SCTEx (duh, "Subic-Clark"?). Anyways, I ended up using the Olongapo-Gapan Road, up until Dinalupihan Bataan, where I was told, an entry to the SCTEx can be found. And from there, the ride was so smooth.

The other day, I used the South Luzon Expressway, yeah I know they're still fixing it up to be at par with the NLEX but still, the experience was horrible! Especially when I was going back, from Calamba, since again, they fixing it, the road would split up and eventually merge somewhere ahead. But when I got near the Filinvest exit (that's where I supposed to get out of the SLEX, I took the inner fork, knowing that ahead it's going to merge. Alas, I saw the Filinvest exit but there was this very long concrete divider between me and the exit! Oh the frustration I have, taking note of the slow-paced traffic in front of me. I eventually got out of the SLEX at the Sucat exit and was able to get home. Hay!
