webfact Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Picture: Sanook Thai netizens were perplexed after a picture online showed a total of 14 CCTV cameras on one overhead beam at an intersection in Pathum Thani. Was this number of cameras really needed to catch errant motorists, they asked. Pol Col Suksawat Khusitthiphol of the highway police said that only the blue ones (along with their LED lights) were actually catching red light jumpers. There were just three of those. The other 11 that were indicated by red, green and purple arrows were a test to develop the police's processing system. They were not being used to catch motorists and would be removed on August 21st after a ten day period. The cameras are at the Rangsit - Bang Bua Thong intersection in Pathum Thani north of the Thai capital Bangkok. They are near an army base, reported Sanook. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-08-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SS1 Posted August 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2021 I thought the answer would have been: only 1 in 14 CCTV cameras work on average in Thailand, so by placing 14 they ensure at least one is working. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger101 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 At one set of traffic lights I ride through everyday in Pattaya I always see one or two people jump the lights. That's Evey day every time. I cannot remember the last time I sat at the lights and didn't see somebody jump them. Perhaps one of those cameras when taken down could be moved there.

Andycoops Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 In my experience of CCTV in Thailand most of them are for decoration and either don't work or aren't connected to anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
