Pattaya57 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) So I just added soi honey and soi Dianna to my morning walk. Many bikes and food bike/carts going wrong way of course. What's funny is they painted the blue one-way signs on most of it except nothing on 2nd road end of soi Dianna. So there is nothing indicating 2nd road entrance to Dianna is not allowed (once you're on it it's not as if you can turn around) Edited May 21 by Pattaya57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 What it really means is if you want to go in the direction opposite the one designated you'll have to pay a toll. Maybe BiB will work out a side hustle for the gowityu ladies who solicit customers all day, to call in the direction of the offenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Edge built a massive wall on soi Dianna to keep people out Edit: oops, I see in post below Edge entrance is in soi Dianna. Well that's messed up as all the cars I saw entering from 2nd were going down the soi Edited May 21 by Pattaya57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will be driving down a long one-way street only to then have cars turning into them from 2nd road. What could possibly go wrong...even the Google pic shows the cars on the wrong side of the road for turning lol Edited May 21 by Pattaya57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya57 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Problem solved with some traffic cones to block entry to soi Dianna from 2nd road. I guess the people who live in the Edge will have to go home via soi bukhao now 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espanol Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 So, if you are on the second road and you want to enter The Edge, you have to continue on, enter Soi Honey, get to Soi Buakhao, continue until Soi Diana and go down again until you almost reach the second road again to be able get in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetops Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 They should have put the cones up the middle of Soi Diana until just past the entrance to The Edge so it was 2 way for that first/last 10 - 15 yards. Wouldn't affect traffic much in either direction and would have saved a lot of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but once it settles down Edge people will just go up Diana and do a quick left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Upnotover Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 Just spent a couple of hours at Las Vegas watching the traffic in the rain. There was a plod a little up the street turning motorbikes back but he went when the rain set in. Then it became a 2 way street just as before. It would maybe be an idea to have the road markings in another language other than English. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are using the same one way barrier method as Jomtien Soi 7, that's still there months later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya57 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Last couple of days I found it strange that cars/bikes are still driving on the left hugging the white line, rather than driving in the middle of the one-way road (I almost got hit by a bike yesterday while walking on the line) This means it's much safer walking on the LK Metro side of the road no matter which direction you're walking. Other than that, traffic flow does seem much improved Oh yeah, I love how the metal barriers on 2nd road are now used to park bikes behind 😉 Edited May 25 by Pattaya57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
