webfact Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Authorities set to ensure travel safety for Songkran travellers By Thai PBS As the Thai traditional New Year Songkran celebration is just two weeks ahead, several government agencies are now making preparations to cope with expected heavy traffic that will see millions of people travelling on all highways and on planes during April 11-17. The preparation was to ensure safe travel for the people, and to prevent traffic accidents that in the past had claimed hundreds of lives and thousands of injuries during the Songkran holidays. The Department of Land Transport and the Department of Highways (DOH) held high hope that they would be able to reduce fatalities in road traffic to zero at a number of roads it have selected for road safety campaign during April 11-17.

Thai drivers would break this ban like they break ALL bans. Better that the Transport and Environment ministries club together and repair/resurface every road that is currently showing signs of cracking. That would ensure safe travel! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same propaganda for road safety, just a different year. Listen up people. There is NO substance to any of Thailand's road safety campaigns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
