General Luis Street is a two-to-four lane, major east-west thoroughfare situated in the cities of Valenzuela, North Caloocan and Quezon City. Heavy traffic is usually expected when traversing this road due to concentration of tricycles and jeepneys, commercial establishments, warehouses and factories along and near the vicinity, although 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.
Name
Once called the Polo-Novaliches Road connecting the towns of Novaliches and Polo, 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 on November 1896.
