In Pattaya, a recent meeting took place to discuss the possibility of opening Dongtan Beach Road to vehicle traffic 24 hours a day. This road, which connects Jomtien Beach to Pratumnak Soi 5, has been closed to traffic overnight for quite some time. However, due to significant growth in the area over the past year, particularly in the number of businesses around Pratumnak Soi 5, city officials believe it is time to lift the overnight ban and allow vehicles to access the road at all hours.

 

Although no specific date has been set for the change, the city is preparing to install additional road traffic signs and lights, The Pattaya News reported. They will also coordinate with local police to ensure that traffic rules are enforced and that the street remains quiet, with no loud motorbikes disturbing residents during the night.

 

The growth in the area has been attributed in part to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has led to an increase in businesses and development in Pattaya City. As a result, officials feel that opening Dongtan Beach Road to traffic around the clock would be beneficial to the local economy and community.

Where to begin

WRONG WRONG

 

The reason this area is popular is beause its a small remaining pocket of the natural beauty that Beach road use to have.....

 

Folks I say there is a very good possibility they are gearing up to move in and whack this area hard....Just like they did to beach road....

 

Opening up this road to 24 hour traffic is just the first step.......Next would come the road widening and mass tree chopping and lot and lots of concrete to be poured all over this area..
