Rimmer Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Encroaching billboard removed PATTAYA:--Pattaya removed a large advertising billboard on Thepprasit Soi 11 following complaints from motorists that it partially blocked the road. Deputy Mayor Pattana Boonsawat led workers to the area to check angles and sign placements March 14. They found a 15-sq.-meter billboard installed 20 meters high on steel posts. But the base encroached on the street, leaving little room to turn around it. The billboard was removed to widen the road for motorists. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-22-03-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought it more likely motorists complained the road blocked the billboard - especially if it happened to be an animated one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Come on! Only 2 meters or so into the lane. I often passed there without noticing. Don't be so fussy And who would complain that it obstructs the footpath at the main rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that are high voltage lines (maybe 30k Volt). Let's hope there won't be a report about electrocution while tearing a billboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moti24 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It had to be removed! How else are the law-abiding drivers and motorcyclists going to cut the corner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 What a laugh. Drive Beach Road, 2nd Road, South Road, Central Road and numerous other roads in this chaotic city. All sorts of enroachments to be found. Sidewalks blocked or taken over by merchants, wires dangling headhigh, broken footpaths. You name it.
