Dangerous Lights installed along Pattaya Third Road cement barriers

PATTAYA: -- Newly installed lights along road barriers situated along a 500 meter stretch of road close to the Central Pattaya Road junction with Pattaya Third Road are causing concern among pedestrians and local business operators due to dangerous power cables which appear to have been installed without the care and attention required to ensure public safety is maintained.

Tube lighting and flashing orange lights have been installed along the top of the cement barriers which were installed last year to prevent motorists from turning off the main road to the right, which was causing traffic jams along this stretch of Third Road.

As an extra precaution the tube lights have now been installed but it appears they were either installed in a hurry or without any consideration towards pedestrians who wish to cross the main road.

This is the way they do it here.

Install it, rip it out, re install it, then rip it out again, do it again until it 80% correct..perfect.

A few weeks later its broken, unsightly, hazerdous and forgotten about.

Are they saying that before the lights were installed, pedestrians would jump over the concrete barriers to cross the road, and now they don't do that anymore because of fear of electrocution? Well, boil me a chicken, but there is really no consideration for concrete-barrier-jumping pedestrians in this country!

That is the least of the problems wrt driving in Pattaya at the moment, tunnel construction and damned markets on the Beach Rd make it hard going.

the story, curiously badly written (and I have never seen THAT before) I think relates to the ends of the barricades where cabling might be exposed. Strange, they reported on dangerous cables but the headline and photograph are focused on the lights.blink.png

I think the true complaints from the Thais is that now they cannot move the blocks apart so they can squeeze their motorbikes through!

Pattaya planning department have some very bright people working there - they really do not have a clue and are most likely unqualified

The problem is the pedestrians squeeze thru the gaps but now there are electric cables taped together at waist height. This will be real fun when the wires get exposed in a rainstorm.

Zap!

before the lights they left spaces between the cement barriers for pedestrians to cross, now no space because of the cables and lights.
