Toany Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The video show a pedestrian crossing that has a green light for Pedestrians and cars at the same time. I nearly got run over, because I thought the green light meant it was safe to cross. Be careful, you are in Thailand now lights.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about the pedestrian crossing across Charoen Nakhon Road. Every time I cross there from Sena Fest to the pedestrian island between the two traffic directions, I hold up my hand to stop the traffic like a policeman would, one lane after the other, and there has been nary a time that the vehicles did not stop for me and the other pedestrians who chose to follow me.
