Adjustments have been made after the initial day of implementing the zipper lane as a traffic reduction measure along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City during morning rush hours. Officials have decided to modify the zipper lane setup to prevent any adverse impact on the northbound direction of Katipunan Avenue.

The key adjustment entails reducing the number of exits from two to one, resulting in the removal of the exit leading to Miriam College Gate 3. Consequently, only the exit to Miriam College Gate 5 and 6, situated along Mangyan Road within La Vista Subdivision, will remain operational.
The entrance point for the zipper lane will remain unchanged, located at the U-turn slot in front of UP Town Center-Mercury Drug, which is near the left turn leading to C.P. Garcia Avenue.
In terms of operating hours, the zipper lane dry run will now be in effect from 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. during weekends, excluding holidays. This initiative will be jointly managed by the city government and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.
