As per reports, on Tuesday (28 October), the Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) announced a special traffic management plan for the Kalag-Kalag (All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day) period, effective from Thursday (30 October) to Sunday (02 November), to prevent congestion and ensure public safety around major cemeteries.

The plan includes lane restrictions, rerouting schemes, and parking regulations across eight key public and private cemeteries. The major adjustments are as follows:

• For the Cabantan Cemetery in Barangay Luz, the road will be closed to all vehicles to give way to pedestrians, vendors, and emergency responders. Only ambulances and patrol cars will be allowed entry.
• In Calamba Cemetery along V. Rama Avenue, both lanes will remain open to traffic, but Lucio Drive will be closed from Thursday (30 October) to Sunday (02 November) to manage the heavy influx of visitors.
• For Carreta Cemetery, General Maxilom Avenue will remain open, but no parking will be allowed along the stretch; vehicles will only be permitted to drop off passengers. Vendors will be limited to the VECO side of MJ Cuenco Avenue.
• At Queen City Memorial Gardens, A. Soriano Avenue will be closed to public utility vehicles (PUVs) and will be open only for private cars and drop-offs. Parking will be available at Gaisano Mall and other designated roadside areas.
