Area officials continue efforts to curb traffic problems
PATTAYA:--Despite the perceived failure of efforts to bring order to Pattaya’s parking zones, Pattaya-area politicians aren’t ready to throw in the towel just yet.

Banglamung District Chief Sakchai Taengho and Pattaya Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekachai met with city and police officials March 5 to review efforts to better regulate bus stops, parking zones and motorbike taxis on Beach Road and Third Road.

The Beach Road plan, launched amid much fanfare in January, called for 17 new designated stops for baht buses, tour coaches and taxis. Strict enforcement of the zones and ticketing of double-parkers and other scofflaws was promised but, except for the few times when television cameras shined on their efforts, the new regulations have been largely ignored and unenforced.

Parking regulations ignored.

Enforcement ignored.

Nothing new here.

What would be new, is if the parking regulations were respected, and Enforcement was enforced.

I truly wonder why Pattaya has any regulatory bodies at. None seem fit for purpose.

6 months ago they finally put in traffic lights at the junction of Jomtien 2nd Road and Soi Wat Boon. They have now closed off the crossroads intersecting Wat Boon and disabled the traffic light now every onehas to use the two u turns 20 metres either side of the lights causing traffic to stop suddenly for the u-turn. It is several accidents waiting to happen instead of perfectly efficient traffic lights. Who thought of that? They same bozo's

A roundabout at that junction would be so perfect. But, as we all know, Thai are clueless what to do at a roundabout.

Same with traffic lights, most Thai's think red means everybody else has to stop.
