I live near the airport, on the way to minburi coming from the airport

the nearest U-turn, I kid you not, you have to drive 5 km in the wrong direction and 5 km in the good direction to come to point zero

very profitable for taxi drivers

why they cannot allow, after more than a decade, a quick u-turn or god forbid, an underpass

This is an excellent idea, I've nearly been run down by bikes on Bangkok sidewalks and I've seen people dodging bikes, and occasions where bikes scare the living hell out of people. The traffic is crazy in Bangkok and I can understand them wanting to use shortcuts, but this is dangerous.

So are they need to install these barriers every 100 metres?

There’s a broader reality here is that a huge proportion of footpaths are already unusable for pushchairs and wheelchairs as it is.

And yet, on the occasions when they are accessible, they’re often just as accessible to motorcycles - especially when we still see police riding along pavements themselves. At that point, the whole principle of enforcement starts to unravel.

. One regular pedestrian said she previously felt unsafe walking with headphones, as motorcycles approaching from behind could not be heard, but now feels more secure.

The law requiring the wearing of compulsary headphones needs to be scrapped. Very dangerous if you are walking in Bangkok.
