Street description
Harrison Avenue has a right-of-way width of approximately 25 meters. It is a public transportation or medium-occupancy-vehicle corridor which is frequented by intra-metropolitan jeepneys and mega-taxis. This condition gives Harrison Avenue its relatively slow-moving, congested and highly pedestrian character.
History
Harrison Avenue forms part of an old Spanish coastal highway that linked the Province of Manila to La Laguna and other southern provinces. It was called Calle Real or Camino Real (Spanish for "royal street") which spanned from Ermita to Muntinlupa. At present, only the Las Piñas and Muntinlupa section is called Calle Real or Real Street as an alternative name for the road. The Pasay portion is renamed Harrison Avenue while those of the City of Manila and Parañaque have been renamed to Del Pilar Street and Elpidio Quirino Avenue respectively.
