addy77 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Photo pending... There are at least 2 new speed bumps in the far right lane (lane 3). One close to soi 4 and another opp. the police station. They are not small like you typically see but more like small bridges. At the moment, there is no warning or color (normal here) so beware.

KittenKong Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Great idea that white band. Makes it much easier to target the ankle-biters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 No worries, the motocy mafia will be out there soon with their pick-axes and take care of them. I personally hate speed bumps however with many crazy drivers around I know they help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardog Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 That sucks! In addition to tearing up motorcycle undercarriages this will slow down the already induced snail pace of beach road. I can see the buses down to zero KPH over the bumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiantravel Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm glad they've done something if they are choosing not to switch on those expensive pedestrian crossing lights after spending all that money. Now that the extra lane is open, some drivers are travelling at ridiculous speeds in that lane and in the night time it's hazardous trying to cross the road anywhere around that area near Royal Garden Plaza. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did turn them on but were ignored by drivers & were unpoliced so actually became quite a hazard to the newbie tourists who tried stepping out when they had the light thinking that they were safe to cross only to be nigh on run over. They were only introduced to protect tourists but maybe the powers that be don't think they are worth protecting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogleg Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 These bumps are at the light crossing sites, so maybe they are going to have another go. I have noticed sometimes the lights have actually worked recently - shock, horror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phycokiller Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 good, I see many people waiting 5 to 10 minutes for a break in the traffic so they can cross now. good work making a 3 lane traffic jam but they need to consider that tourists mostly walk to the beach from hotels and they need a way to get across the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Having street lights here makes crossing the street much more dangerous for naive tourists, who for some reason believe that green light somehow gives them a right to cross the road. Better not have lights at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
