OneMoreFarang Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Today I saw some kind of security guard with a big red flag in the middle of a zebra crossing with red light. He walked out of the way maybe 10 seconds before the red light changed to green. But the moment he was not on the street anymore, but the light still red, everybody accelerated and ignored the red light. TiT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasted about a week until two tourists were squished by a truck in central Bangkok. Pol Maj Akarachai Chamchoi, inspector of Nang Loeng station, said each of the tourists was carrying a safety flag. The flags were placed on the roadside so pedestrians could use them to signal oncoming vehicles to stop—part of a government road safety campaign called "Safe Crossing With Flags" https://slice-of-thai.com/safe-crossing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
