Rimmer Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Chalermprakiat 8 made bumpy to slow speeders Pattaya installed speed bumps on Soi Chalermprakiat 8 to stop people from speeding down the residential street. Jirawat Plukjai, president of Chumsai Community, had requested that city hall have workers turn the smooth pavement into a “washboard” in two spots that force both cars and motorcycles to slow down. He said many locals residents and children walk along the road and speeders were putting them in danger after school. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-15-03-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mok199 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Apparently the speed bumps are the only reliable way to slow down speeders , and they don't except bribes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The bikers will use that section at the end which is not mounded (to enable water to drain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd101 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The first couple of downpours when the monsoon arrives will wash it away. In a well-designed system, you also have warning signs at either end of a series of speedbumps. That way the bumps are doubly effective without themselves causing accidents ...

Henrik Andersen Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Speed bump is a good idea but make them yellow so people can see them in the night time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunderhill Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 4 hours ago, Kim J said: It is just a pity that these speed bumps have been built from low grade tarmacadam on top of what looks like a concrete road, consequently will start to break up quite quickly. Then just as everything else they will attract zero attention once any maintenance is required. Don't forget the paint to show they are there, often missing, it comes as a nice shock when you go over one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Speed bump is a good idea but make them yellow so people can see them in the night time Unpainted (as they almost always are)they are hard to spot in daytime too, they often look like long shadows cast by the roadside pylons....anyway they have little effect to the "For-Tu-Na" drivers who just barrel on regardless.

But, as you state they would just drive around the end unless a barrier was placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
