Natural Rubber for Northeastern Road Safety

 

 

NAKHON PHANOM, Sept 25 (TNA) — The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives kicked off a project to boost road safety in the Northeast with natural rubber products.

 

Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob launched the project to use natural rubber products to promote safety on Highway 2033’s Kham Phok-Nong Yat section in Nong Yat sub-district of Muang district in Nakhon Phanom province.

 

He said that in the project rubber fender barriers and rubber guide posts would be installed to absorb crash impacts, thus reduce damage and at the same time generate at least 30 billion baht in income of rubber farmers because the production of such safety tools considerably consumed natural rubber as their raw materials.

hahhahhahhahah!

 

thank you.  i sorely needed a laugh.

 

Why not just plant rubber trees on all dangerous curves and cut out the middle-man?

One road close to where I live is littered with used condoms yet vehicles still 'lose control'

Rubber electricity poles?

Unfortunately, rubber doesn’t last fit too long baking in the sun and heat

And the message is; grow rubber trees.
