Local government officials in Pattaya are considering extending their new one-way traffic system, currently operating on Soi 11 (Soi Honey) and Soi 13 (Soi Diana Inn), to Soi Buakhao. The move follows a successful trial and positive feedback from residents.

 

Led by Anupong Phutthanavarat, the Pattaya City Council’s Committee on Administration and Public Safety recently visited these streets to evaluate the system’s effectiveness.

 

“The traffic flow has significantly improved in both sois.”

 

 

 

 

During the visit, authorities explained the system’s benefits to locals and surveyed the possibility of expanding it to Soi Buakhao. They also identified key areas for road markings and gathered data to reorganise parking on Soi Lengkee and the part of Soi Buakhao that intersects with Third Road.

 

Officials have also warned against the placement of unauthorised signs or objects in public spaces to reserve or restrict parking, aiming to keep areas clear and accessible.

 

This initiative is part of Pattaya’s ongoing efforts to improve traffic management and ensure a smoother driving experience for both residents and visitors, reported Pattaya News.

I think the majority observe it on Soi Dianna Inn and Soi Honey, but in fact the motorbikes are not the biggest issue.

It are cars and baht buses that create the mayhem

So cars and baht buses are driving the wrong way ? cars I can imagine not paying attention to road signs, but the baht buses ? I'd have thought they would know by now.

Who is talking about cars driving the wrong way. Are you really that ignorant, or just pretend to?

 

Baht buses and cars stop and park wherever they feel to, and with a two-way system they create traffic jams because they can't be passed easily

Today was a classic example, big traffic when the big box coca cola lorry blocked Buakhao, cars definitely couldn't pass, was a struggle for motorbikes, this happens throughout the day

What is the direction of the proposed one way? Is it starting at Pattaya Central Road going to South Pattaya Road so south bound one way traffic or the other direction?

 

What will be the new baht bus route?

really ?

 

better look both ways when crossing the road because some think it is still 2 way

 

and doing the same for soi buakaow would be a disaster for transportation  convenience  and access

 

maybe ban private vehicles and allow public transport and motorbikes

I remember talk of Central Rd. to Diana being 1-way, then 2-way from Diana to South PTY Rd.

It would be opposite direction to 2nd road,  so southbound.

I liked it when the baht buses were banned, smooth traffic flow, what happened to the ban? 

 

Making it one way will interfere with my daily cruise up and down, it's medicinal.

 

Can't wait for Jomtien Beach road to become 2 way again, it's also interfering with my health, a nice ride along the beach then back onto that awful, dangerous 2nd road.

If that's how they do it the jams will continue on the 2-way stretch, deliveries are major reason for the problem 

If it works do it, if it doesn't leave it alone...

Make it one way, the sooner the better !!!!

Is it to be in long tail boats or speed boats?

Long as there is a 10 baht doing a circle route I do not see an issue

If they make it one way I can see the motorcycles using it as a racetrack ☹️

 You Perv both ways, no surprises there!  and fromour resident "unhealthy health n safety occifer"! 

Its sweet as is, keep rooting about with busy popular areas for why? Answer that! Easy... Spoil this Soi and create a whole new envelope swapping area for  redevelopment! 

How well is the One Way working on Jomtien Soi 5 the road with the Immigration Office?  Marked 1 way but cars, motorbikes still travel both ways.

 

What is going to happen when Soi Buakhao is 1 way with people who have been drinking?  Yes 2 way traffic and you will still have to be on high alert walking down the side of the road.

Or know how to spell site!

It won't help, just makes room for a large baht bus/taxi rank so your back down to 1 lane again...waste of tome

Hmm.

 

Are they saying that the earlier 2020 one way traffic scheme and the ban on baht busses on  Soi Buakhao didn't do the job?

Hasn't this been discussed for the past 10+ years at least. 

 

same ... same ... every year  ...........  then nothing happens.     TIT.
