Traffic Lights

[Hobgoblin]

Hi,

Does anyone here have any idea why none of the traffic lights in town are working? And here I thought driving here was risky business *with* them working.

You've beaten me to it!

Nothing in South Pattaya seems to be working and, for a cyclist, this is now rather dangerous.

None of the Thai drivers seems to have noticed this yet ????

[Jai Dee]

No farking idea mate... it happens fromn time to time...

They'll probably be operational again soon...

energy saving?

I noticed that some pedestrian 'walk/don't walk' lights were added to the corner of 2nd Road and Pattaya Tai, maybe that shorted out the whole system?

run and run like <deleted> would be better

I like the lights when you are turning left at Pattaya Klang into Sukhumvit and you have a green arrow. The only problem is that the traffic going along Sukhumvit also has a green light.

Even more fun is trying to exit Soi Nern Plub Wahn get across 3 lanes of Sukhumvit traffic within 50 yards so you can turn into Pattaya Klang..........best tried at 5.30pm to 6pm.

thaiflyer, best way to do it is take a right on Nern Plub Wan ,about 300m before you get to Sukhumvit ,along the soi that goes to Soi Siam Country Club and then go along Soi SCC and make your left turn into Sukhumvit from there. This will give you enough time to cross all of the lanes if you want to make a right into Pattaya Klang.
