The Supreme Court (SC) partially lifted the temporary restraining order (TRO) against the NCAP following an urgent motion filed by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
SC Spokesperson Camille Sue Mae Ting said the ruling takes immediate effect but does not cover ordinances issued by local government units (LGUs). The NCAP can only be implemented by MMDA officials along major thoroughfares, particularly C5 and EDSA.
She added that the Court has yet to rule on the merits of the petition, and it has not specified how long the partial lifting will remain in effect.
In August 2022, a TRO was issued against NCAP after several groups challenged its constitutionality.
The NCAP uses traffic cameras and automated systems to detect violations such as beating the red lights or illegal parking, with citations issued directly to vehicle owners.
