EDSA is the main orbital highway curving round to the east of Metro Manila. As well as eight lanes of traffic it has a Light Rapid Transit line running down the middle. Destination signs at this intersection include Pasay, Alabagang, Fort Bonifacio and Ayala.

EDSA is an amazing piece of civil engineering, in many places like something out of a science fiction film. It's clogged with traffic virtually 24 hours a day and is permanently shrouded in a haze of exhaust fumes.
