• Circumferential Road 5, more commonly known as C-5 Road or C-5, is a network of roads and bridges that altogether forms a major route that transverses in Metro Manila, in the National Capital Region of the Philippines. It is also known officially as Carlos P. Garcia Avenue, and as National Route 11 (N11), National Route 128 (N128) and National Route 129 (N129) in the National Route Numbering System implemented in 2014. Expressway portions, part of the North Luzon Expressway Mindanao Avenue and Karuhatan Link, are numbered Expressway 5 (E5).
• The road serves as a beltway around Metro Manila, spanning some 32.5 kilometres (20.2 mi) as it transverses through the cities of Paraùaque, Taguig, Makati, Pasig, Marikina, Quezon City and Valenzuela. It runs parallel to the four other beltways around Metro Manila, and is also known for being the second most important transportation corridor, after Circumferential Road 4, better known as EDSA

Garcia Avenue, honoring the eighth president of the Republic of the Philippines, Carlos P. Garcia.
• On July 23, 2007, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo announced on her State of the Nation Address that C-5 Road will be extended to the north of Metro Manila, from North Luzon Expressway in Quezon City to Navotas and will be extended in the south from South Luzon Expressway in TaguigParañaque boundary to Coastal Road in Las Piñas in the southern part of Ninoy Aquino International Airport. • As of June 2010, the NLEx-Mindanao Avenue Link or NLEx Segment 8.1 which is located in Valenzuela City and Congressional Avenue Extension from Tandang Sora to Luzon Avenue which is located in Quezon City has been opened to all motorists in the North Extension and also the SLExSucat Link or Carlos Garcia Avenue Extension in the South Extension located in Parañaque was also opened.
Project Objectives: • This project aims to: • decongest city traffic • connect major business districts in Makati/Taguig area to Cavite/Parañaque/Las Piñas • Provide faster and efficient regional movement of people and goods • Project Benefits: • At the end of construction, the project is expected to: • Provide seamless expressway connections between the R-1 Coastal Expressway and C-5 Road • Offer higher development impact • Generate at least 1000 jobs during construction phase and at the operation and maintenance phase.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTION ACCIDENT PRONE (shows news about it) Solution-Decrease the speed limit to 50kph As an initial step towards reduction, transportation officials said that the public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program would play a key role in road safety, as old PUV models will be replaced by vehicles that have safety features, and stricter motor vehicle inspection measures will be implemented. OVER SPEEDING crackdown on vehicles that exceed speed limits, Nlex patrol crews have begun using the Gatso Speed CCTV System
