General Luis Street

General Luis Street is a two-to-four lane, major east-west thoroughfare running through Valenzuela, North Caloocan and Quezon City. Heavy traffic is usually expected when traversing this road due to the concentration of tricycles and jeepneys, commercial establishments, warehouses and factories along and near the vicinity. However, there have been multiple plans to alleviate traffic congestion, such as obstruction removal, road widening and improvement, and construction of additional roads like the Mindanao Avenue extension.^[2]

Name

Once called the Polo-Novaliches Road, it connects the towns of Novaliches (now mostly part of Quezon City) and Polo (now Valenzuela). This segment of the road was renamed after one of Andrés Bonifacio's most trusted revolutionaries, General Luis Malinis, who was killed during the Battle of Novaliches in November 1896.^[3] Its segment in Caloocan is also known as Kaybiga Road, apparently after the area of the same name that it traverses there.^[1]

Route description

The road starts at the intersection with Susano Road and Quirino Highway in Novaliches Proper (Novaliches Bayan), passing through various residential subdivisions, factories, and warehouses. After passing through Mendoza Compound, it crosses the border to Kaybiga, part of North Caloocan. The road then slopes down and meets ITC Road, which continues towards Valenzuela as Bagbaguin Road.
