Popular Post webfact Posted May 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2021 Picture: Daily News The Department of Rural Roads responded with a work team after someone went on TikTok to say a bend had flummoxed them. The video went: "Please explain - if you're going right, what do you do??!!" It was confusing even to the locals in Don Kha, Ratchaburi. So now the DRR have taken out the central dividers and turned the bend into a T-Junction with new markings in response to the criticism, reported Daily News. They said they had done it according to the plans. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-05-24 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondue zoo Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 It confused me when I first arrived here and spent 20 minutes of almost any journey going in the opposite direction to that which I needed to go ..all because they dislike roundabouts, or leave an intersection closed for 6 months with a roll-able steel fence for no apparent reason.

harada Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I think the surveyors may have been throwing back a LOT of Laokhao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jross Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Quote Turn right and go where?.......Can't see where that road will go from there....??? It seems to be two pictures, side by side, like before and after shots. This is why the roads look like they don't go anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanuk711 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 flummoxed, Gosh I haven't heard that word in a while........... Roundabouts and Thai's they just don't seem to be able to work out the small one in my Moo Barn, I just wonder how they would go on the multi ones in the UK--this is just a 6 one , 5 outer roundabouts and the main inner one, the inner one always going in the opposite direction to the outer ones.......they come larger then that on some of the busier junctions. Flummoxed...yer that would be the word for these in Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed strong Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 People are getting fined for not wearing a mask outside as they try to limit the spread of covid and related deaths, yet they seem more than happy to continuously lay down death traps in the repsect of the road layout and inadequate driver training. 800 deaths from covid in the last 2 years. Average yearly deaths on the road 20,000. Imagine the strain that would be lifted if road accidents were reduced to a number so for eg found in any developed country in the world. In fact what it would see is that the hospital infrastructure is heavily subsidized by road users and an increase in safety could potentially have negative conatations for the local economy. Build it and they will come is potentially a worrysome mantra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwill Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) In the right hand picture there is a pickup truck going the wrong direction in the lane. At least according to the arrow right in front of it. On both sides of the photos it appears traffic coming in from the right side is only supposed to make a left hand turn. There is no lane for traffic to go straight through in that direction. Yet in both photos they are. Edited May 24, 2021 by rwill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a while to realize that those fences are erected because too many people were injured at that U-turn. They are the equivalent of closed doors locking an empty elevator shaft. Virtually all U-turns here are death traps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was 50+ years ago but I was a NSW driver where if you wanted to turn right you moved to the right hand lane. But not in Victoria, you moved to the left hand lane when you wanted to turn right and wait until it was clear to do so. Thankfully they caught up with the real world after a few years.

Rampant Rabbit Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Coming from the worst drivers in the world who don't even know what a red stop sign means, what a roundabout is or how to use it, what indicators or tail lights are for.........I am not even the slightest bit surprised.
