The local authority in Jom Phra, Surin in Thailand's north east has explained about their  no famous "Wiggly Road".

 

Pictures of the road caused much comment after they appeared on Surin City Talk prompting a response from the "tessaban".

 

They said this was not a main road but one of 1,300 meters length used as a fitness track, reported Daily News.

 

The area in question was to allow the correct working of a pumping station cum hydrant used in case of fire. 

 

It was like that before the resurfacing and that's how it was staying so that the pumping station was not impeded in its function.

I think an explanation of the explanation is needed.

I totally agree. Never block the cum hydrants at any cost ????

 

Maybe the "Tessaban" just saw how local residents used the road after their usual 1½ bottles of local rice whiskey, and decided to let the road follow the vehicle and not the other way around.

In my area tessaban made road, then broke it and put drain pipe, so road start to falling apart in the end. Or other option, when they just put drain grill without any drain pipe just to look nice.

 

Laugh now, but when the earthquake comes this is going to be the only perfectly straight road in the district ????

So the justification to put in a curlicue is that a jogger or two would impede the proper pumping function of the water station...

I would have liked to be present at the committee meeting when they came up with this diamond...

"What should we use? Elephants? Cows? No, Joggers! All in favor for joggers say "khap"."

Bureaucrats.

Thread should be moved to the Motorcycle forum, they could make good use of this chicane.

They must call that road Lao Kao Lane. It's made for drunks on bicycles.

Laws of hydrodynamics are only for farang rain.. Thailand has special water that flows uphill.. 

 

 

I think they would have been better off without giving an "explanation". It's pretty much indefensible anyway.

"Cum Hydrant".... never heard it referred to as that before.

Then you should refer to Crossy. As he says in his signature block, "I can EXPLAIN it to you, but I can't UNDERSTAND it for you."

So if its just a fitness track then why the need to paint yellow lines on it?

They obviously had to charge extra for that! 

 

Reminds me of the cutting edge 1,000 U-turn bridges over railroad tracks project that they somehow managed to get approved.????
