Rimmer Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Nongprue removes illegal signs PATTAYA:--Nongprue workers removed illegal signs blocking views for motorists. A team of three workers swooped down on the area around Soi Nong Mai Kaen 6 Sept. 15, pulling down signs placed on utility poles, at curves in the road and at intersections. They also yanked signs on which taxes had not been paid. Workers said the order to remove the advertising came after repeated complaints from motorists that they were obstructing views on corners and curves, causing traffic hazards. The workers continued on their route all the way to Sutthawat Temple. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2017-09-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marginline Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Okay. So if it takes "a team of three Nongprue workers" [sic] to remove an illegal road sign, how many does it take to change a light bulb, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is in fact only one person needed for removing the sign but another is the driver and - most important - one to take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An operation like this usually involves up to a 100 cops all jostling to get their photo in the newspaper to show that they're real cops doing real work.

mikebell Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 A sign blocking the view of speeding traffic down the hill on Sukhumvit near Bang Saray kept mysteriously falling down but only during the hours of darkness. Local police are baffled, so I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattjock Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 What about all the big video displays distracting motorists in major crossings. Can only assume that that someone in power is collecting a lot of brown envelopes to allow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
