Quick question.

Is Pattaya 2nd road two way traffic or is it still one way?

Still one way, but there's always a motorbike or two running the wrong way.

My first visit was in 2004 and I can't remember anything but one way.

I've seen some decades old videos from the late 80s or so when there was both way traffic.

What I seem to have missed: there were some exceptional days with two ways for special events?

one end used to have a lane for baht buses to drive the other way
years ago they also tried to make it 2 ways on 1 or 2 days of the week
it didn't last long, maybe a month if that.
they also make it 2way when certain events are taking place.

It was one way back then, and always hell to get across.

 

A few years later they decorated it here and there with xwalks and traffic lights.
