snoop1130 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 In a bold move to ease traffic congestion, Patong Police initiated a crackdown on vehicles flouting parking regulations in Phuket’s most bustling tourist locale. The campaign kicked off on Friday, January 19, at 9am, when officers began issuing penalties to vehicles improperly parked on Ratchapathanusorn Road. Interestingly, this is the same street that houses the Patong Municipality offices. Patong’s Police Chief, Police Colonel Chalermchai Hirsawat, ordered the campaign. The initiative aims to minimise accidents and avert traffic snarls, as explained by the Patong Police through an online post. In the first instance, officers identified four vehicles that were illegally parked and took the necessary measures. The mission continued on Sunday, January 21, with law enforcers targeting ten vehicles guilty of parking contraventions along Sawatdirak Road. The violations ranged from parking on sidewalks, obstructing traffic flow, parking over 25 centimetres from the curb, parking in no-parking zones, to parking on pedestrian crossings. Other violations included parking across property entrances and exits, parking at bus stops, parking at intersections, and parking on bridges or in tunnels.
