Alternate routes
- Aguinaldo Highway: The old Aguinaldo Highway runs through Bacoor and Imus to Kawit. Free but congested with traffic lights. Only useful when CAVITEX has major incidents. Saves P65-127 toll but adds 30-45 min in traffic
- Coastal Road: Coastal Road extends from CAVITEX Parañaque toward Pasay/Manila along the coast. Useful for reaching Pasay/Manila areas without entering SLEX. 10-15 min for Pasay/Manila Bay destinations
