Have you been a Skyway Stage 3 regular since the new piece of infrastructure opened late in 2020? If so, you're probably at a crossroads now, as San Miguel Corporation began collecting toll fees on July 12, after letting motorists use the elevated expressway for free over the past several months.

Depending on where you're coming from and the destination you're driving to, you could end up shelling out as much as P528 one way. If you're someone who doesn't want to pay Skyway Stage 3's toll rates, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority wants you to know there are alternatives.

In a Facebook post, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority traffic chief Bong Nebrija shared that motorists opting to no longer use Skyway Stage 3 can use Metro Manila's main North-South Mabuhay Lane instead.

"Hey guys I heard that Skyway 3 will start charging on Monday, July 12, 2021," the official said. "Just in case there will be an influx of Skyway 3 users back to Edsa you may want to take an alternate route to the South."

Here's the North-South Mabuhay Lane, an alternative route you can try:

1. Make a right at West Avenue
2. Right at Quezon Avenue
3. Make a U-turn near Magbanua
4. Turn right to Timog Avenue
5. Turn Right to Tomas Morato
6. Turn Right to E. Rodriguez Avenue
7. Make a left at Gilmore
8. Drive straight to Granada
9. Turn right to Pinaglabanan
10. Turn right to P. Guevarra
11. Make a left at L. Mencias
12. Turn right to Shaw Boulevard
13. Turn left to Acacia Lane
14. Turn right to Ortigas Avenue
15. Make a left towards P. Cruz
16. Turn left towards Blumentrit
17. Turn left at Coronado
18. Take the Mandaluyong-Makati Bridge towards the destination

Nebrija also added that the MMDA is out in full force ridding this route of illegally parked cars, performing sidewalk clearing operations, and placing signs to guide motorists.
