hansgruber Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Still cant see any signs banning motorbikes, came through this morning.I hope they install a camera that snaps the plates of bikes that enter the tunnel and make them pay the fines come tax sticker renewal time. That will sort the problem and collect some much needed funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Why should motorbikes be banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Why should motorbikes be banned?Because a majority disrupt the flow of traffic. Slow riding and tail lights inactive. The list goes on. Why can't they just take the top road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Fair point about a large number of poorly maintained bikes, what about big bikes, most are way faster than most cars, I will have no problem not using the tunnel when there are clear signs.

So the signs posted and word from Phuket government saying all kinds of bikes are prohibited isnt enough for you? Nice to read about another farang being a part of the problem. SMH.

2fishin2 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 BR youve been told where they are. Also, the article has been posted here about the government saying no motorcycles or bikes.

2fishin2 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 PHUKET: Despite the Darasamut Underpass being treated to a grand opening ceremony yesterday (story here), the island’s first underpass did not open to traffic until this afternoon. “We expected to open the underpass after the ceremony yesterday, but we had to fix the electric lane markers,” Samak Luedwonghad, director of the Phuket Highways Office, confirmed to the Phuket Gazette today. “Two lanes are now open: one heading southbound and the other northbound. The lane closest to HomeWorks will be closed for a few days while we check the electric lane markers to ensure that they work properly. “We expect all three lanes to be open on Saturday.” Once all three lanes are open, said Mr Samak, one will be used for southbound traffic and the other two will be used for northbound traffic. “If we open two lanes heading southbound, this will jam up traffic at the first set of traffic lights south of the underpass,” he said. “We also want to keep the direction of traffic consistent in the underpass so that we do not confuse motorists. We will install median poles as soon as possible so that people are clear on which lane is which.” Mr Samak noted that motorcycles are strictly forbidden from using the underpass. “Motorcycles are not allowed to use the underpass. This is clearly marked on signs before each entrance to the underpass,” he said. “We will work closely with police to prevent motorcyclists from entering the underpass.” - See more at: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Phuket-underpass-late-grand-opening/56813#sthash.UPjojQaO.dpuf Lol ok, here ya go.

I came through the underpass the other day, no signs were visible, the sign on the overhead gantry prohibits pedal cycles, samlors and golf carts, could you please go there and take some pictures of the signs, that should clear this up!!

Okay, I am seeing a pedal cycle but in fact it is Motorbike? I don't take any notice of a man saying motorbikes are banned I take notice of a clear sign, when there is a clear sign banning motorbikes I will not use the underpass, have you actually been through the underpass? have you actually seen signs showing a motorbike(not a pedal cycle, banning them, yes or no!!

CeltNYC Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 On Saturday afternoon only the north side of the underpass was open leading to huge congestion going south towards Chalong and Rawai near Central Festival. When we looked those going north were apparently using two lanes and there was no problem in the third leaving it to be closed. The third lane has never been open when I've gone through the tunnel. Really bizarre! What's the point of the underpass if you're not going to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
