One-way in Jomtien --- Oh no it's not???

[5davidhen1]

At the entrance from Second road into Soi 7, in preparation for major construction/remedial works, there is a road sign indicating that one should not turn left into the soi. (Second road is a dual carriageway at this location so a right turn is "impossible" since, to perform such a manoeuvre one would need to be on the wrong side of the meridian) Soi's 5 and 7 were signed to become one-way on 15th February, even though the actual works do not now look like commencing until 1st March.

Last night, despite the aforementioned, I observed several City workmen measuring and then painting 2 white arrows at the top of Soi 7 (Second road end).

They painted one arrow facing Second road, the intended/posted direction of the new one-way travel --- OK.

BUT they then went on to paint a SECOND arrow pointing in the opposite direction, suggesting two-way traffic!

What chance for the motorist!!!

While travelling the wrong way down a one way street people were shouting ”one way!” at me , to which I hollered ” I'm only going ONE way!”

And some similar confusion when starting the underpass a long time ago on surrounding roads.

The signage which originally said the changes were from Feb 15 have now been overwritten and the effective date is now March 1st.

 

It's logical and expedient that if the sign is being ignored, change the sign.
