Valentine Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I thought they also approved underpasses & the connecting road over the mangrove to Saphan Hin (the road which was built many years ago but not completed & IMO was part of the plan for a huge convention/business/shopping centre to be built on reclaimed land proposed by an ex premier).

bunta71 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I see the traffic cams are winning the poll. Thailand doesn't have the ability to make this work. Better train some cops on what their job really entails and get them off their lazy asses and do some traffic control with their new shiny cars. Crack down on MOVING violations. Put a couple of the smarter cops at intersections where the locals make one or two turning lanes into four turning lanes. Chase down these deadly vans and buses and green plate airport taxi punks... Not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Red light cameras would be of more use on Phuket IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
