Considering that accidents have occurred in the past, authorities in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan are keeping an eye on the bypass road in Barangay Sta. Lucia after footage of a drag race in the area surfaced.

The Barangay Council has reportedly received numerous complaints against drag racing in the area. 

"Kailangan pagsabihan sila na huwag na mag-drag racing dahil marami nadidisgrasiya diyan," Michelle Lacorda, a resident, said.

"Problemang-problema sila [ang mga concerned citizens]... ‘yan ang isang inaaksyunan namin naka-focus kami diyan sa problema sa bypass regarding sa drag racing sa motorcycle. Delikado kasi may mga naaksidente na," Eduardo Lalata, the Barangay Councilman, said.

Lalata added that some participants are from neighboring areas such as Bulacan, Tayug, and Mangaldan.

"Puro dayuhan [pumupunta], hindi lang origin dito sa Urdaneta, just like may galing Bulacan at Tayug, Mangaldan, dito ginagawa ang drag racing. Babala[an] natin na huwag na lang nilang ituloy," he said.

Those going to the races allegedly also bet on motorcycles. 

Authorities plan to establish a barangay outpost in the area.
