Rimmer Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 No-parking zones painted behind Central Marina PATTAYA:--Pattaya painted no-parking markers on curbs behind Central Marina shopping mall. Congestion prompted the city to repaint existing red-and-white curbs to reinforce that parking is prohibited. Taxis and vehicles also cannot stop there for drop-offs. If enforced, the no-parking zones should reduce traffic jams during rush hour, city officials said. Temporary parking is allowed in yellow-and-white areas. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-05-17-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsiaCheese Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 How wonderful. Paint all you want - as long as there are no BiB in sight to enforce it... But I'm too quick on the keyboard, the solution is here: we'll go Japanese shortly and everything will sort itself out. Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Errrm notice in the photo how the motorcycles are now all parked on the pavement.+ the reason for the traffic jams are the big tour busses herding the Chinese around, often on totally unstable narrow roads..which the road in the photo becomes a bit further down.

Errrm, notice the "parking" bays, mark on the "pavement," perhaps installed for that very purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Yes but..supposedly pavements are for pedestrians to walk on ?? there has been lots of hoo-har recently about motorcycle riding on the pavements after a few people where knocked down and injured. I ( selfishly ) like the easy on pavement parking for bikes as its convenient for me when I ride...but have been violently shoved ( to try and make me fall off ) by some foreign "activist pedestrian" while trying to get out of one of those "on the pavement" motorcycle parking spots outside Kasikorn bank on South Pattaya road..I hope he fell down a pot hole somewhere further down the street. ????

mok199 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 This free's up the only shaded space in that area, now the filthy smoke belching tour buses park their blocking the sight lines of the intersections...while the driver washes his underware and socks to hang dry and waits for his next trip down beach rd/freeway...

newnative Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 All the major streets should be no parking and the sidewalks improved and widened with shade trees added. The parking now is just filled with taxis, vendors, and motorcycles for rent--little benefit for the majority using the roads and sidewalks.

connda Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Oh goodie. They have those red-strips all around the Jampha Mall in Lamphun and I can only believe that Thais interpret red lines on the curb to mean "Park Here!" In Chiang Mai red lines on the curb mean "Park on the sidewalk and not and the street!" That must be correct as you never see a security guard at Jampha or a cop in Chiang Mai do anything other than to let things go. Park where you want.

How about doing the same along Klang and North Rd, at the moment double parking seems to be quite acceptable, a few hundred vehicles can be delayed and forced into the wrong lanes by someone buying noodles on main roads here!

tifino Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 one: there's certainly not much 'rush' in that and the following hours... As such, I'd be compelled to rename it to 'peak period' - as that would negate the city officials (hopefully tongue in cheek) insinuation, that they are implying there is rapidity in movement of the traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 In some countries laws are enacted and enforced, with consequences for those who fail to comply. In other countries laws are enacted, not enforced and ignored with impunity. Thailand has a lot of glitter and shine on the outside. Sratch the thin layer of paint, and the real truth becomes obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it now, Taxi pulls up to drop off or pick, and Cop walks up and spends 5 minutes ticketing Taxi, that is going to really impede traffic flow...
