Popular Post Geoffggi Posted May 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2022 The state of the roads in and around Pattaya is abysmal, why have the government started so many projects all at once instead of correct planning whereby they ensure free movement of traffic also enough personnel are available to complete the operations within a reasonable time frame. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be very capable of starting them off and digging deep holes, I suspect they have an oversized team for that purpose. Doing whatever down there, refilling, resurfacing and tidying up just doesn't progress. I wonder if they got the bodies and motorcycles out before barricading the ones mentioned above. Mayor elect is he now... I thought it was still disputed? Edited May 31, 2022 by jacko45k 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post peter zwart Posted June 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2022 Even this photo shows that there is no thought involved. Only a ribbon has been stretched from the direction the traffic is coming from. Why no blocks there? This is the most dangerous side for traffic. Amazing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thailand Posted June 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2022 I guess it is all part of the nationwide problem. There is at least one major newish road in Chiang Mai that has been resurfaced 3 times in the last 5 years and is continually being patch repaired. Appears to be the same contractor. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmj Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Just wait till the buses come back. It’s going to be total gridlock. Plus did they think about where the busses are going to stop on beach road with parking on both sides? It’s going to be a nightmare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traffic is often bad now, what's it going to be like when tourists start coming again? They should have never allowed parking on the beach side of Beach Road--looks awful and hinders traffic flow. North Pattaya Road is sometimes gridlocked as so much traffic is going down to Terminal 21 and all the hotels and other businesses--the new Centre Point Space and the other new hotel across the street will just be adding to that. It's long past time that North Pattaya Road should be made no parking the entire length--adding another lane to help traffic flow. Much of it is red and white striped already--just do it all. For the convenience of allowing a few dozen cars to park thousands of other cars are stuck in traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i lived there my car was parked up most of the time, and used only once a month for the makro shopping. I found motor bike was the only way to get around town. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 4 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Certainly is not a world class family resort ! You'd be crazy to bring kids in buggies or the disabled here I have seen people in wheel chairs made to use the roads cos the pavements have holes and sometimes big drops at the end of the pavement that are a challenge to healthy folk .Add to that vendors goods , electrical conduit and concrete electrical posts all making hazards . In the 2 years of tourist absence , Pattaya could have repaired or relaid the pavements and even turned some of Beach road into a pedestrian safe promenade . Pattaya is not a good place to come for a family with young children and buggies plus the disabled in wheelchairs are not catered for to use the pavements and will be confined to their hotels most of the time . T.A.T should take a look at Spanish resorts and others that are set up to encourage tourists . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
